L'arbre hanté?



Haunted Tree?


This tree in Parc Montsouris
seemed almost alive with
its undulating surface.

I am not sure that I would have been
sitting in the same spot at monsieur here.
We hurried along before a branch reached out
and tapped him on the shoulder

Trop de pigeons!



Too Many Pigeons!


I wonder if she had been reading a book or a newspaper 
rather than playing with her phone
if she would have noticed the green shrubs,
the purple iris, the roses, and...


the overabundance of pigeons!

Jardin du Luxembourg - la fille qui lit


Jardin du Luxembourg
-the girl who reads-


In the midst of Sunday afternoon park activity, 
this young woman sat peacefully with her book (e-reader), 
oblivious to intrusions on her private world.


May you have a peaceful 
and focused week

Square Henri-Collet



Square Henri-Collet


This meandering garden pays tribute to Henri Collet (1885 - 1951) 
a French composer and music critic who lived here in the 16th arrondissement.


The benches, fountains and paths among the plantings 
make this a popular spot in the neighborhood.  
For those who work nearby it is a lunchtime respite from busy thoroughfares.

Square Jean XXIII - dans un cadre



Square Jean XXIII


The elm trees above and the line of shrubbery below
make this lovely square into a vignette.  


Do you know this quiet, 
shady spot on the east side of Notre Dame?
