le carrousel de Tuileries
le bleu
It is difficult to select just one photo for blue in Paris. There are thousands of "blues," doors and buildings and skies and reflections, but this carrousel in Tuileries and I have a relationship (if that is possible). I have seen it in all seasons including a snowstorm one December.
This one small part of the carrousel has the Eiffel Tower, angels, and diamonds, all embellished with gold and red. The painted blue skies behind the Tower are matched by the blue skies of spring.
This is my last contribution to a five-color series of photos,
and with this I capture the memory of Paris blue and tuck it under my pillow.

Perfect! And what a lovely vision for me to take to bed a bit later this evening so that I can ride on the carrousel in my dreams! A delightful, colorful capture! Hope you've had a great weekend, mon amie!

Love the way you composed this shot. My favorite ride!
So lovely...
Love the Eiffel in there.
Fancy fancy.
you're closing your contribution with a very poetic picture!
Hello Genie:
We cannot think of a more unusual and charming way in which to capture the 'blue' of Paris. Totally original and yet so apt!!
And how lovely to have a record of this in all seasons, including the snow.
This is very sweet image from Paris. Love it.
Hugs.
I don't know why but I only felt good vibes coming from your photo. Thank you.
I love the colours of this carousel which are perfectly captured by your camera. Very nice indeed. I shall be visiting this carousel myself soon..I've marked it down on my itinerary "must". (As well as pont des arts and rue cremieux thanks to you!)
This definitely reminds me of April in Paris! What a softly colorful photo!
That's the best of the series, I think.
Beautiful!Love the bling! I never pass without riding it!
This is a rare capture of an even rare-r species: A blue sky in Paris :-) Bravo, Genie. A grey background would have changed the whole shot's atmosphere! This carrousel is, indeed, very pretty, and in fine shape. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Blue... my favorite color, for always!
Love this, dear Genie! What happy colors...

Perfect for blue Genie, I think it just may be my favourite also, the colours are wonderful together.
I have enjoyed your five-color series. Loved each photo! Such a nice way to focus one's thoughts of Paris -- through her colors.
This is an absolutely gorgeous image Genie. The colors are stunning! :)
Ooooo lovely! Blue is truly a color to embrace. :) Especially that shade of sky blue. And your photo of that part of the carousel is beautiful. It looks so joyful!
I love the colours in this photo. I am always amazed by the many facets of Paris that your photos capture.
Après le rouge le bleu!
Delightful!
I love this! It is my ambition now that Florence likes Carousels to take her to all the ones on your blog. This is a timely reminder to get started!
Oh, I know your winter version of this carrousel so well, Genie! And this close-up is glorious. It's just turned spring here, so it's right at home.
What fun I had to search for five different colors and will have to do that again in the future.
Today's photo could have been for le blanc or le bleu or even le rouge, but it seemed a perfect way to end the series with the red accents and La Tour Eiffel. Of course, the carousel is one I have shown you before and will again.
Soon, I will have a chance to see it again.
Thank you for your thoughtful comments and positive feedback on the color series. Have a wonderful week, all!
Bises,
Genie
Lovely detail shot Genie.
Ahh, this quest gave you a nice excuse to use another carousel photo. And . . . you are going back soon? Lucky you!
