Paris Reflet

This last trip in November, we had beaucoup de pluie!!! All you can do is embrace it and try and keep your camera dry.

Today, I join James' Weekend Reflections, a group that I love! Click HERE to see more from around the world.

Petite fille avec parapluie

While waiting outside the Grand Palais after Paris Photo, trying to stay dry, I spotted this petite fille, doing the same. 

Jour de pluie à Paris

 Luckily showers in Paris don't last long, and like this day, the sun comes out!

Nuit pluvieuse à Paris

Midnight in Paris!

Paris Rouge - Paris Photo

This petite fille looked so adorable with her umbrella leaving Paris Photo in the rain!

Trop de Pluie - Paris Rouge

As the SE is reeling from Hurricane Irma and the state of Texas recovers from the hell of Hurricane Harvey, my city of Birmingham is expecting the aftermath of Irma for the next two days. Whatever she brings, it won't be anything like the devastation that Texas and Florida, as well as all of the islands in the Caribbean have experienced. If you feel you can contribute, there are many organizations taking donations and money to help.

If I don't post for a day or two, it may mean we've lost power here.  Birmingham is a beautiful city full of old, gorgeous  trees that like to take down power lines. I"ll stay in touch!

Paris Reflet

If you go to Paris for the weather, I'd recommend another locale. Then again, you have to embrace the reflections!

Today, I"m happy to rejoin James' Weekend Reflections, right HERE! Click and see the gallery of all the lovely reflections that my photoblog friends share every weekend!

CDP Theme Day - WET

Paris Rouge - la pluie

When in Paris, you'll be much happier if you embrace the rain. 

Château de Chantilly

Closing time at the chateau, light rain, fog.

These four guys walked up at just the right time. I showed them the photo and gave them a thumbs up!

Rainy Night in Paris

I complain about the rain, but then it delivers some nice reflections and silhouettes.

Je suis Paris

 Palais Royal

I returned home yesterday from a week in Paris I shall never forget. It was a week filled with fear and horror but more importantly, a week filled with love, laughter, friends, the kindess of strangers, new sites, old familiar favorites and a renewed love of Paris. Vive la France!

Today I join James' Weekend Reflections

A Rainy Day in Paris

Last November, these Parisians, and I'm sure a few tourists, waited patiently in the cold and rain. outside the Hôtel de Ville.   It was worth the wait to view the fabulous Brassai exhibit during Paris Photo. No secret why I love Paris in November.

Les parapluies

When in Paris, a parapluie should always be in your bag. Don't leave home without it.

Après la pluie

Hôtel de Ville ,Paris

Non

When it's pouring rain, la terrasse est fermé. Quelle dommage.

Minuit à Paris

Actually it was a little earlier but these are the steps of Saint Étienne du Mont made famous by the movie Midnight in Paris.

Today I rejoin James' Weekend Reflections right HERE!

Pluie
