I'm so sorry, but lately I have been just too busy to make the tour of the blogs I usually try to visit, including this one of course! I have now - at last - made the tour of your latest posts (thanks for the birthday wishes and the symbolic champagne)!
I think this is very well educated pigeon, staying UNDER the table!
Great photo, V. Looks like it came right out of 1924. My last name starts with a "pidge" sound, so I have quite an affection for pigeons in Paris. I was googling photos of just that last Friday!
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

The pigeon is probably on the menu.
I'll bet that pigeon has a chequered past. ;)

Love it .. I am sure M. Pigeon knows a big table like that means lots of crumbs for him
I'm wondering what the big pile of straw is doing there. And I notice 4 ashtrays—does this mean you can still smoke if you sit outdoors?
LOL Starman!

Wonderful!
WEll the photo was taken in Nov. 2008 so I"m guessing it was a "harvest theme" in Paris!
