Walk Paris

Wish I'd had wings on my feet

sometimes these past few days.

Paris is such a wonderful walking city

with new beauty 

constantly gifting the eye with delight.

Lilies of the Valley have been my favorite spring flower

since I was a little girl and found a small patch

in a hidden corner of the yard.

In Paris it's tradition to give them as gifts on May 1

so they were everywhere.

The Avenue de l'Opera was nearly empty

on this Holiday

and Paris pleasantly quiet 

for a moment.

Tourists filled the parks, sidewalks 

and restaurants later

with families, lots of strollers

and much photo taking.

Just like me

(except the stroller part).

The sun finally peeked out yesterday afternoon

and everyone seemed to be happier.

Love the splashes of color on this summer shift

by an Italian designer. 

This photo is for my friend Jude.

What to do with that extra hay.

Quite cool actually...

soeur = sister

Such fun to be here with mine!
