Parc de Monceau - XVI



Parc de Monceau


While waiting on a park bench to meet a blog friend and sa petite,
I watched this young fellow riding in circles. 

He was so fast that it was a challenge to capture him in action...
 and in focus!


zoom-zoom!


Parc de Monceau

  2. Of course he was fast, Genie. C'est un petit parisien... and as everyone knows, "Petit parisien deviendra grand!" :-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

  3. Hello Genie:
    You should have asked for a 'go'. Then you too could have gone 'zoom zoom' which, we think, would have been great fun.

  5. He looks in a world of his own. Wouldn't it be nice to be lost in thought like this.

  9. The little ones can be very speedy, can't they! His set of wheels is a lovely shade of mint. The red seat and handlebars probably make it go faster.

  11. Love the colors of his scooter. We still have that grey dust stuck to the wheels of Florence's stroller from that day. We must do it again soon ;)

  21. Jane and Lance, oh I would not have to be invited more than once and I would have given a spin around the park myself!

    Yes, it was Nicola and her precious Florence that we were meeting that day!

    Danielle, thank you for "le petit bolide" which is so very expressive - and I learned a new French word.

    Shell, the "mint" with red reminds me of vintage items for the kitchen. I think that was a color combination that is making a comeback.

    So glad that you all liked le petit bolide sur ses 2 roues!

    Bises,
    Genie

    PS - I also found "comme un bolide dans la rue" which showed a translation of "like a bat out of hell" - yes, I wrote that one down too!
