Un bateau et la Seine



A boat and the Seine


We see here the captain at the bow of the boat 
(driving while talking on the phone) 
and perhaps two lovers at the stern.  


Since this photo was taken from the quai, 
there was not an opportunity to ask questions or to discover the story


C'est un mystère!

Bassin principal - Jardin du Luxembourg



If ever you are in Paris alone, Jardin du Luxembourg will provide your entertainment. 


Sailing boats in the octagonal basin
Watching a lively game of pétanque
Taking a ride on a very simple carrousel
Checking on the bees at the apiary
Enjoying a performance in the theatre of marionnettes
Playing a sport: tennis or basketball
Strolling through the shaded gardens

or

Reading a book in a familiar green chair

Jardin du Luxembourg - bateau à voile



Please disregard my earlier comments on "Paris colors" as apparently rose foncé, or bright pink as I would call it is quite popular in the city as seen here on this little boat in the center of the hexagon basin of Jardin du Luxembourg.


May your sails be full as you head into the weekend
with a nice reflection on the previous week.
