Vert å Paris

Have a seat!

My Happy Place

From my very first visit to Paris in March, 2007, I have found a way to drag up a green chair, put my feet up and thank God I'm in Paris again. A plastic glass of champagne is the icing on the cake.

Chaises vides

On this November day, I was disappointed to see that there were no pétanque players. The spectators stayed home as well. Triste.

Jour de pluie dans le jardin du Luxembourg

Thankfully the downpours subsided long enough for us to walk through the gardens.

The only thing missing is the bottle of champagne.

Happiness is finding a photo from 7 yeats ago that still makes my heart sing and makes me miss Paris even more!

Paris Rouge - Autumn at Luxembourg Gardens

I don't know about you, but the green chairs in Paris gardens are just about my favorite sight to behold!

These green chairs are calling my name. I'm looking forward to pulling one up and propping my feet on a fountain at Tuileries... or maybe Luxembourg Gardens... or most likely the Palais Royal with Peter and Mary.  Paris, je t'aime!

Les Ombres

When I return to favorite spots in Paris, like the Jardin du Luxembourg, I'm always searching for new photo opportunities. This was one of only four really sunny, blue sky days I had in Paris and the shadows of my favorite green chairs made shadows that I photographed over, and over, and over!

La chaise

This time last January we arrived to find Paris under a melting blanket of snow. It had started raining and as Peter and I made our way to Tuileries, it was quickly turning to slush. I took a few shots from the perimeter. This trip, the Parisian Snow Gods were not smiling on me.
