Village Saint Paul - le Marais

Quiet courtyard

The last golden leaves of autumn cling tenuously to the branch 

and they echo my feelings of departing Paris.  

I know when it is time to leave for home, 

clinging to the memories, 

and knowing that there will be another autumn in Paris, 

just as there will be another winter and spring and summer.

The photos are a daily reminder...

bon weekend

Rue du Cardinal Lemoine - a courtyard for all seasons

Courtyard

Rue du Cardinal Lemoine

Palms, wisteria, fatsia, evergreens, honeysuckle, 

and the climbing vines that turn electric shades of yellow, orange and red in autumn.

I will have to check out this courtyard in the other seasons.  

I think that it was designed for appeal no matter the time of year.

Avenue du Président Wilson - une fille française?

Along Avenue du Président Wilson, 

she walked with long strides in front of the gates of Palais Galliera.  

She was dressed head to toe in shades of gray 

offset by tresses of deep auburn.

Yes, definitely...

must be a French girl

La Tour Eiffel - la réflexion

A familiar reflection...

How could a puddle on Champ de Mars be a pleasing sight?

When it reflects the golden lights of la Tour Eiffel.

Feuilles orange de l'automne

Orange autumn leaves

The window shades on this quiet street in the 5ième 

match perfectly the autumn leaves.

Paris was dressed in her colorful finery last week 

and the leaves held on through our sojourn.

Jardin des Tuileries - des parapluies

Jardin des Tuileries

The autumn leaves can be seen down this alley.  
The trees, many still green, provide some shelter from the rain.

I do not bring an umbrella to Paris 
as I cannot hold an umbrella and my camera at the same time.



I am like a wet dog, but a rainy day in Paris...

Jardin du Palais Royal - l'automne

 

Jardin du Palais Royal


October in Paris brings in the change of seasons,
seen here in the almost empty, assuredly quiet,
Jardin du Palais Royal.


This garden, like so many in Paris, has a different look for every season.



They all are special...

La Tour Eiffel - disappearing act

So the day was not filled with sun...

A low ceiling obscured the uppper floors of buildings, and

gave a mysterious look to La Tour
