Just before walking into the Basilique de Notre-Dame des Victoires,
I sensed a movement out of the corner of my eye.
Looking up to the left in this premier étage window,
I saw this little child actually licking the window.
By the time I could swing my lens his way,
he was looking wistfully down at the street
to the older children in the Place des Petits-Pères.
The church façade is reflected in the large windows.

Dear Genie, this is really a brilliant picture. Just "a day in the life of"... so very innocent, melancholy, and beautiful.
I want to give that little one a hug and make him smile! :)
Bon weekend, sweet friend..

elicited a quiet, "Aw,"-- sentimental favor for the photograph and commiseration with the subject
Encore un voyeur!
Mais, je remarque que toi aussi, Genie, tu aimes bien photographier les fenêtres... :-)
And a lovely little boy indeed. Great photo Genie.
What a terrific capture!
The child looks deep in thought. Dreaming about lollipops, and rainbows?
I'd say we see a petite fille, non?..No matter , the picture is lovely!
So beautiful kid there, and he looks curious about what is going on outside!

Love this image Genie, what a precious little face.
Tres jolie photo,j aime bcp l expression du petit ;o)
what a sweet capture!!!
such a sweet image!
I'll bet if you returned in 18 years and told him what you saw, he'd be mortified.
Trop mimi! He looks like he's waiting anxiously for someone. :)
I love it! I bet he thought the window tasted pretty good! I remember when mine were that age and the crazy things they did/tasted/felt/ate/drank! And they all grew up healthy!!! Priceless capture, Genie! Enjoy your weekend!
Hugs

Beautiful slice of life capture...and the red dot adds to the photo.
To see this photo it's a privilege for me! Thank you!
Aaaw, le pauvre petit, left behind by the big kids. Looks like this might be a day-care center or school. Nicely captured, Genie!
What a terrific capture!
Aw, so cute - lovely candid and the added bonus of a reflection too.
N'est-ce pas qu'il est adorable? Excellent photo!
Precious! Such a pensive and wistful looking little man!
this is such a sweet and endearing photo
Bonjour mon amie .. what a gorgeous little French face literally licking the windows ... and the brush-strokes of red add the finishing touch xx
A picture of child's innocence! Very touching!
Bonjour, mon petit.
Like coming out of a Victor Hugo novel!
What a fantastic capture; quite beautiful. Licking the window probably wouldn't have made it any better.
