Jardin du Palais Royal



Jardin du Palais Royal


He is reading intently in the splendor of this garden.
The fountain must surely be splashing him a bit.


I would have my bare feet propped on the edge
(would have, have had, and will have)

    Ah, but you know how distinguished gentlemen are -- no bare feet in public, propped up or otherwise! Terrific capture! Always love your people shots! Hope your week is going well, Genie!
    Hugs

    Engrossed and settled, that's what he is. He even has more papers in his carry bag. He's determined to catch up on the news. Nice capture Genie.

    Excellent candid! It contains a story for each person to craft. Monsieur is definitely preparedmtomspend some quiet time there. I think the B&W is perfect.

    Monsieur is not French (or he is multilingual if he can read that newspaper,) but maybe he lives in Paris and is used to the gorgeous surroundings by now... :-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

    I prefer the laid back chairs, easier to relax with feet propped!

    Your portraits bring out the detective inside! I see his shabby shoes and his suit which hangs a bit too loosely; I wonder what he's reading so intently?

    One must take time for oneself.
