La Petite Danseuse de Quatorze Ans

My mind and my camera has been focusied on ballerinas lately.  I took this photograph in November when i revisited the lovely boutique at the Opéra Garnier. Dégas' danseuse would have been a lovely gift to our ballerina Chappell, if only I'd been able to get her home in my suitcase.

Although I have tried, I've not toured the magical Palais Garnier. I have however, visited their lovely gift shop on many occasions and love to photograph their tutus. This last strip was no exception.

I share this photograph tonight as my very talented granddaughter, Chappell, will again be dancing many parts in the Magic City Nutcracker. If you live in the Birmingham area, you should attend!

I'm printing a ballerina series for The Cahaba Lilly South in the Greystone area of  Birmingham. This pretty tutu was taken at the Opéra Garnier gift shop. For more information contact Cahaba Lilly South or me!

These exquisite lamps were beautifully displayed on the steps at the Opéra Garnier's Boutique.
