Quai de Bourbon - l'automne

Quai de Bourbon

Looking towards Pont Louis-Philippe from Pont Marie, 

the quai and the riverside walk are almost deserted.  

Golden leaves will soon be swept from frail branches into the Seine.  

Within a month, this will be a monochrome palette, 

save the red doors and a few window boxes.

Paris will take on her winter beauty

Pont Notre Dame - l'automne

Pont Notre Dame

The late afternoon sun drenched the trees 

along the Quai de Gesvres giving them a golden orange glow.  

If you look under the arch of the bridge, 

you can see their reflections in the Seine.

Feuilles orange de l'automne

Orange autumn leaves

The window shades on this quiet street in the 5ième 

match perfectly the autumn leaves.

Paris was dressed in her colorful finery last week 

and the leaves held on through our sojourn.
