I can't help myself. The series BLEU has been in the making here in Paris for some time.
Today Part I. Oh but there will be more!
Rue de Bac
Stravinsky Fountain - Centre Pompidou
Niki de Saint Phalle/ Tinguely - artists
The Musee Marmottan Monet is an absolute MUST SEE in Paris. It houses the largest collection of Monet's work. We were not allowed to photograph inside so this is my contribution as a bleu photo!
( Did Matisse fly Air France?)
You might have noticed that my photos are larger now. Merci beaucoup Peter for so patiently fiddling with my laptop and showing my how to change the settings!!!

The pictures look great Virginia.
I've never been, but i'll be sure to check out the Monet museum next time I visit Paris.
Thanks.
Beautiful bleu etudes, Virginia. I love these studies of themes in Paris. I can think of a hundred I'd like to do! I did a red theme at my Paris blog, and also blue.
That floor at CDG is gorgeous - I love that shade of blue with brown and white.
And the door!!
So glad you stopped for a visit at PD.
Just wonderful!
Is there going to be a Bleu Movie! Lol!
Now I have Monet envy. I think the Japanese Garden (in tempera) at the Shades Cahaba Musee may be as close as I'll ever get. :) Have some fun for me, friend!
«Louis» loves that door in the top photo..
Sacre bleu!! :-)
Jan,
I wished for you a million times at that museum. There were some of his later paintings when his eyesight was failing that bordered on the abstract with bright vivid colors. Fabulous!
Ming-
You're back! All settled in your new digs I saw on Facebook. Peter and I were talking about you just the other day. GOod to hear from you.
Ruth,
I will have to visit your past posts and see your color series when I have the time this next week.
Oh Louis, you love it all! Let me know about what those signs say so I can look at BHV when I return to Paris in 2 weeks. I can't remember!
All fabulous of course as are all your photographs but that first one I just adore. Gorgeous old door, that wrought iron work, the bikes, - well everything...
Blue is a nice color. Very well done. I espcially like the last one of the tiles.
Bravo to the both of you for the change in the pictures size. Such a Plus.
I discovered with delight Lucien Clergue at the Marmottan in June.
Love the french door. (What a gorgeous color! Wonder what it's called besides bleu)
I've been catching up; fantastic sets on the last posts! My favourite shots are 'Lunch with a view' and the 'Black Lemons'!
By the way, it seems the guard has fallen asleep, or was he just pretending to be, waiting for someone to break the rules? :-)))
Ah V's blue period. Interesting set of images and of course I am drawn to the bikes. I am a photographer, I am predictable.
B,
Could I be "bleu" because I was leaving Paree?
Rue de Bac bicycle is my favorite with it's door detail, bicycles, and weathered color.
