La Refléxion

This was a delightful afternoon. We sat outside with our wine and watched the school children happily playing all around the Stravinsky Fountain at the Centre Pompidou. This lady was seated at the next table, but I took this shot of her reflection in the mirrored panel beside the doorway to the café.

Lovely, Virginia! Somehow I have the feeling you'd be good at surveillance, if you ever want a sideline...

I was going to say almost exactly what Claudine said—only I was going to say it in English. Love that splash of color in the background!
