CDP Theme Day - Loving Life

Cour Damoye

This group created an impromptu party

and enjoyed a makeshift table

with lively conversation.

Today I join photobloggers from around the world

in theme day.  Click here to see their interpretations. 

The theme for February is 

"LOVING LIFE"

Cour Damoye

Paris Café

The familiar iron pedestals topped

with small rounds...

Rows of cafe chairs. Can you think

of a better place to be?

City Daily Photo - "Where I Belong"

Theme Day for the City Daily Photo group

this month is "Where I Belong." Although I have many 

favorite places in Paris, my happiest times are spent 

with family or friends at a café terrace.  Although I have sat in 

winter months with a drizzling rain and a lab robe for warmth,

this spring scene with blue skies and warm sun is perfect.

See where other CDP photographers feel they "belong"

Lunch?

Hope that you have weekend plans

with friends.  Perhaps a tasty

quiche and salad?

A favorite place for dinner with friends,

warm and inviting, perfect on a cold evening

Un cafe vert

A small cafe with beautiful awnings

and chairs.  As I remember there were plenty

of empty seats outside.

Would be a perfect place with a cool breeze to meet 

friends on a Friday afternoon to welcome the weekend!

bon weekend

Un petit repas

un petit repas

I used to travel with an assortment of cutlery (plastic) 

and small plates, but you can buy just what you need 

at Bon Marche or at a Monoprix.

We often feel that just a little taste of pain et fromage 

will get you through the early evening and give you the energy 

to stay out late enough to see the sun go down at 11pm.  

In the summer months the Paris sky stays a translucent blue 

until the wee hours of the morning.

Le Rendez-Vous des Amis

Le Rendez-Vous des Amis

With a name like this and a reputation for 

music, food and a fun place, 

this guy looks pretty lonely.

Perhaps he is waiting for ses amis?

des motos

These motos appeared to be lined up for 

a color-coordinated fashion shoot

My favorite siting was of

an orange moto and I even talked a friend 

into posing next to it.

Bistrot Victoires

Bistrot Victoires

This neighborhood bistrot/café is a favorite of mine.

Yes, the food is good and reasonable, nothing fancy, 

but it is not the food that makes it a favorite.  

...It is all the friends whose company I have enjoyed 

over the years as well as the staff and the charming ambiance

We need to meet again...
