City Daily Photo Theme Day - My Street

 The view from our bedroom

For the past two years, my street in Paris has been our fabulous apartment on rue St. Roch. The tall windows overlook the Église St. Roch , and we wake up every morning to the sound of the church bells. Mon amie Mary and I are planning another trip this janvier.  La vie est belle!

Today I join City Daily Photobloggers around the world who are posting photos of their street right here.

Au Revoir

I took this photograph as I approached our apartement on rue Saint Roch for the last time that rainy day last January.  Wonderful memories of a week I'll never forget mixed with the sadness I always feel when I must say au revoir to dear friends and the city j'adore. Bittersweet.

Paris Rouge XLI - Le Parapluie Rouge

The morning we arrived in our flat last month it was cold and rainy.   I flung open the gorgeous windows and peered to the rue St. Roch below.  I spotted this lady with her red umbrella, but couldn't quite get the shot I wanted.  I decided to climb onto the window sill and hang over the wrought iron railing.   Mary and Peter found me in this precarious position.  I got the shot!!!
