Quatorze juillet et l'anniversaire de mon blog!



Quatorze juillet


This shot was taken in 2008 on a two-week
solo trip to Paris.  I waited for what seemed hours against
the barricades on Champs-Élysées for the procession.  
The parade was fabulous but the preparations
were even better.


It is not a coincidence that I chose this date
for the beginning of my blog six years ago.
Virginia Jones (Paris Through My Lens) guided my 
entrance to blogging and I will be forever grateful for
her help and lasting friendship.


Thank you all for your support
and comments over the past six years.

Ponies in the Park


Festivities surround Champs de Mars in July
Pony rides and picnics


Tomorrow is quatorze juillet, La Fête Nationale, 
and the third anniversary of Paris and Beyond.  


I'll take a pony ride and a picnic, svp.
