Les premiers rayons de soleil printaniers

The first rays of sun each spring...

a dry windless day, morning sunshine, 

the green chair of the garden,

and the warmth soaking to the skin

Do I detect a smile of contentment?

Jardin du Palais Royal

the fountain

This cloistered garden with its mesmerizing fountain

provides a place of solitude and quiet

...one of my favorite quiet places in Paris

joyeux anniversaire, Maman
