Printemps - une petite fille et son frère

A Little Girl and her Brother

She held his hand tightly 

as they watched the animated

Joyeux anniversaire, Cherie!

Jardin des Tuileries - des enfants

Jardin des Tuileries

Leaving the Tuileries at the end of an afternoon of play, 

each child holding the hand of an adult

before crossing the busy Rue de Rivoli.

Must be a French girl

La Trottinette

Crossing the street with caution 

as his maman coached from a few steps away.

I am amazed at how early the little Paris children learn to ride 

and how they can make the scooters fly!

zoom-zoom!

Hôtel du Nord - Qui est cet homme?

Hôtel du Nord

I took this photo three years ago, a photo of a photo.

It was perched on a ledge behind my table at Hôtel du Nord on Canal St. Martin.

Often, when I look through my Paris photos 

I run across this one and wonder just who this man might be.  

Is he a movie star, un chanteur, a friend of the restaurant, who?

I almost posted this in black and white, 

but could you do that to those aquamarine eyes?

really!

Qui est ce beau gosse?

Place Maubert avec Papa

at the seafood market

The poissonnerie is full of interesting creatures from the sea.  

It appears that Papa is making a selection for the evening dinner.  

Although the child's eyes cannot be seen from this view, 

they were open wide and full of interest.

Must be a French boy...
