Parc de Monceau - des amis



Parc de Monceau


Two friends without a care in the world.
We should be more like them.


 Maman can worry about the limestone dust all over their clothes.
Weird, but I have a fondness for that chalk...
 a reminder of good times in Paris.

    You've captured a wonderful moment in time Genie!
    Skipping merrily about - kids know how to have fun.

    I adore her little blouse and the jumper wrapped casually at her neck!

    This is such a wonderful image.

    hugs

    I do look back fondly on my childhood, but am also fully aware that things change and we all have to grow up and leave behind that childlike freedom at some stage..

    Hello Genie:
    Ah, to return to the age of innocence. What a delightful portrait and you are so right about the chalk dust, clearly visible here scuffed up along the way. The state those shoes will be in!!

    Très chouette, cette photo : le mouvement est superbement capturé

    Reminds me of the famous picture of Eugene Smith children Juanita and Patrick in Life magazine of 1946. But yours is of course completely today with it vibrant colors and movement. Well done.

    I miss being around small children on a regular basis now that our kids are grown and our grandson lives far away from us. Watching children live as they do without a care always makes me want to live more simply. Great capture Genie!

    Jack, I think that I will always be a kid, an older kid, but a kid just the same.

    Merci beaucoup, 'Tsuki et Danielle pour tes remarques sur mon post.

    JudyMac, you will love it and I wish that we were not going to be crossing the Atlantic in opposite directions!

    M, let's go!

    Shane and Marianne, she is quite the fashion plate with her style.

    Bises,
    Genie
