Automne à Paris

I hope to be right back there with friends in novembre. The season I now love most in Paris.

L'exposition

One of the many things about November is Paris is that it's always Photo Paris month. The Hôtel de Ville never disappoints. In 2013, they featured the rights of humanity in powerful photographs. 

City Daily Photo Theme Day - The Beauty of Simplicity

Today is the first day of the month, and I join my City Daily Photobloggers around the world who are posting their photos on April's theme..... The Beauty of Simplicity.  In a city that is so fabulously over the top with architectural details and grand beauty, it was a daunting task, but I chose this serene scene taken from a bridge. The autumn trees along the Seine.

La fille et les fleurs

Quick capture of this beautiful young woman, lost in thought at the Medici Fountain at Luxembourg Gardens.

Paris Rouge - les feuilles

Along the Seine, just behind Notre Dame, the vines add seasonal color. J'adore novembre in Paris

Automne, je t'adore

Those of  you who follow this blog and my trips to Paris, know by now that novembre is my new BFF. It's really the best of both worlds. You get fabulous fall color, the geraniums and other flowers. are still falling all over the balconies , and.......... wait for it............ you get the Christmas decorations in all the grands magasins. You will thank me one day of this tip. Today, Canal Saint Martin. So fabulous.

Pollarding in Paris

The French have mastered the fine art of tree trimming. Since my first visit to Paris in 2007, I have been fascinated at the way they manicure the trees in the gardens. I've learned since,  this technique is called pollarding. Love seeing it in the fall at Tuileries.

Les Feuilles Rouges

 One perk of visiting Paris in November is the spectacular color.  Forgive me if I overdo the foliage photos for a while.

Lanternes et feuilles

Coming up from the Cité Métro, a welcome sight in November.  I'm looking forward to it once again!
