Jardin du Luxembourg - Tai Chi



Jardin du Luxembourg


A serious group engaged 
in Tai Chi exercises...


Love the lady in the background 
with her red fan.

Jardin des Plantes - des flâneurs



Jardin des Plantes


In a misty rain 
you will always see people in Paris parks.


This young maman was walking her baby
briskly between the showers of the afternoon.

Jardin du Palais Royal



The fountain is at the heart of 
Jardin du Palais Royal.


I have seen it in every season and in every month,
and it is always a changing panorama.
Once, it was even frozen over with children throwing
chunks of ice!


Look for me there on Friday as I feel
the limestone crunch beneath my feet
and gaze down the alleys of trees.

City Daily Photo Theme Day - Ephemeral



Jardin du Luxembourg


The autumn bloom of chrysanthemums are ephemeral 
but our memories are imprinted with the many shades of gold and orange.


On the first day of each month, the City Daily Photobloggers
from around the world interpret the "theme" and November's
theme is "EPHEMERAL."  Take a look here.

Jardin des Tuileries



Jardin des Tuileries


It is impossible to visit Paris 
without sitting in one of the green chairs around a park fountain.  


Sometimes you have to bundle up a bit 
if there is a chill in the air.

City Daily Photo Theme Day - Shelter



Jardin des Tuileries


The shared umbrella was scant shelter 
in this October deluge.
The trees provided a bit of shelter
but the downpour drenched us all that day!


The theme for this first day of October is SHELTER.
Click here to see the interpretation of City Daily Photo bloggers 
from around the world.

Parc de Monceau


Despite living in a city
Paris children always seem to be

un garçon et son bateau




Whether you are sailing one of these boats
or just watching, it will take you back to childhood


(if you ever left)


bon weekend

Jardin du Palais Royal



Perhaps the water is just a bit too cool yet.
A sweater and a light jacket kept her warm 
while her toes were tempted to take the plunge.

Les premiers rayons de soleil printaniers





The first rays of sun each spring...
a dry windless day, morning sunshine, 
the green chair of the garden,
and the warmth soaking to the skin



Do I detect a smile of contentment?

Trop de pigeons!



Too Many Pigeons!


I wonder if she had been reading a book or a newspaper 
rather than playing with her phone
if she would have noticed the green shrubs,
the purple iris, the roses, and...


the overabundance of pigeons!
