Les balcons fleurissent

Balconies ornate with 

flowers

I could be quite content with a corner

of this building in the cinquième, close

to the Seine with an exquisite view.

Un lion en automne

A Lion in Winter Autumn

Looking up at the sculpted balcony with its ironwork balustrade 

one sees the trellis of red and graceful curtains.  

Do not miss the guardian of it all, 

le lion.

Rue du Cherche Midi - un balcon

Rue du Cherche Midi

a balcony

Plants, flowers, clay planters, espaliered tree,

Greek key wrought iron, dart and egg architectural detail,

soft color contrasts...

Yes, I could live here.

What about you?

Une chouette

As I looked up and snapped this photo I wondered...

A pet?

A mascot?

A part of the balcony decor?

A sentry to scare away the pigeons?
