City Daily Photo Theme Day - Motion

The simple pleasure of catching the rings with your baton.

Jardin du Luxembourg

Today I join my fellow City Daily Photoblog friends around the world for our monthly Theme Day. Click HERE, to see their photos!

Fermé

Le carrousel at Luxembourg Gardens was closed on this beautiful, sunny day.  They probably only open on Wednesdays when the children are out of school and on the weekends. This grown up was very disappointed.

Le carrousel

This sweet little carrousel at Luxembourg Gardens delights the children as they try to catch the rings with their little batons.

Joie de Vivre II

Caution. I've been devouring David duChemin's marvelous book, Within The Frame, The Journey of Photographic Vision, and am feeling empowered to post this photo that I would honestly have deleted. For those of you who love travel photography, run, don't walk to Amazon.com and buy it.

Joie de vivre!

Dimanche à Jardin du Luxembourg

Paris Rouge - Une autre mitaine rouge

Many of you correctly guessed that the carrousel in yesterday's post was taken at Jardins du Luxembourg.  Today we go back for another look.  Soon after I returned in January, I posted this little fellow and his red mitten here.  Not long after,  I spotted this sweet girl trying to capture the rings with her baton,  her red mitten flying in the wind.  Do you have any idea how many shots it took to caputure this moving target???
