Paris bleu


A window box without flowers can
still delight with an angel and a dove.

bon weekend

(I was glad to read that you consider Rodin as a Rascal!I agree on that point Ü)
Sometimes, just to add a touch of colour makes it all!

I agree totally Genie the colour and the playful scene make it a work of art in it's own right!! btw I'll save a spot for your yacht next to mine in the harbour haha!!

Your little corners of Paris are delightful!
About Alabama, I will not take your offer to visit seriously, but since we travel to the US every year we might some day pass by Mobile.
As an example here is the book I "helped" my nephew Tomas write last time in Alabama visiting some friends. I'm the one on the dark-blue tie-shirt on the back-cover!

So you know what a crowd to expect for lunch :-)

Such a simple design but so perfect. It's a pity such decoration doesn't adorn some of today's architecture. Have a good weekend.

Yes great shot of a blue angel. Sometimes the joy of discovery is in the little details. Thanks for showing

Paris Paul said...

Your angel who is blue had made me less so!

Sam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchen said...

Great shot Genie. I love that French shade of blue. I've never been able to duplicate that shade here. (Sigh)

Delightful, indeed!

Speedway said...

The blue caught my eye immediately. I love that shade used as trim on houses. What story is depicted by the little cupid fighting with a crow over a bunch of grapes? :-)

Randy said...

You know I love that color! Excellent shot Genie.

Lynne with an e said...

Delight is in the details.

Halcyon said...

So pretty! Only in Paris...

Jack said...

Well done, Genie. Focusing in on a small part of the whole has rewarded your fine eye here.

Alexa said...

What Jack just said! Flowers would almost seem superfluous here, I think. Bon weekend, Genie!

VP said...

My favorite kind of detail and an excellent image.

Clueless in Boston said...

It is very nice. Looks like it's been painted more than a few times.

Starman said...

The artist must have made this before pigeons became such a problem.

Loree said...

That looks so lovely and is a perfect shade of blue.

Erika said...

Une image parisienne...Bon fin de semaine à toi-aussi

Harriet said...

I think this is the real 'Parisien bleu'. Lovely photo.

How enchanting this is.

How exquisite ~ and I love the colour {no surprise there, I guess!} And thank you once again for your inspiration, dear Genie.
