A Photographer in Paris

La rentree des classes, les nuits blanches, les feuilles qui tombent, un renouveau de creativite, la petite laine pour se couvrir, le soleil qui se couche beaucoup trop tot… tous les signes y sont…

A young couple on their anniversary … and expecting a first child. Very happy!

A very a-propos sculpture inside Madeleine church.

Looking at play grounds for future reference!

Round in Tuileries gardens.

What is coming next…

Macarons from Laduree are a big hit for P and K.

Fun while riding Parisian bus.

Fresh bread in Montmartre.

Stairs in Montmartre, down from Sacre Coeur.

Mom and dad in Paris with 2 kids and fighting jet lag. Big problem was bright sunlight so sunglasses were a must.

At Eiffel Tower. One stop that cannot be avoided.

Coming up from Louvre (Carousel du Louvre exit).

Aren’t they adorable strolling at Palais Royal ?

After a long walk in Paris what is better than some French fried, juice for the kids, a glass of wine for the parents. I thought it was nice that they let us order fries only. A perfect snack!

 Taking a well deserved rest.

Tete a tete between father and son.

And this is what Paris looked like on that first day of May. Love the pink chestnut trees at Place Saint Sulpice.

And by the way, the 2 kids were fairly young. 6 and 3 1/2 if I remember correctly. They were good sports, walked a lot, did not complain, very cooperative and well mannered. Actually I wanted to take them home !

Those Parisian birds!

Mariage et pizza!

Really cute if not for everybody! Meilleurs voeux aux maries du matin meme!

Richard and Susan celebrating a special occasion in Paris.

I met a wonderful couple from Victoria. Married in Switzerland in the morning. Photos in Paris at night. A rainy night.  I am still smiling because they said that it seldom rains in Victoria (Australia). We got a good sample of French rain on that May day.

I have to say that I have been quite busy with little time to spend on my blog. Sometimes I need 28 hours in my days.I will try to update my blog on a regular basis this June as a lot happened in the past few months.

Vicky had a beautiful dress, hair do and shoes. I am sure those are unfortunately ruined.

 And finally, the moment we had been waiting for.Best wishes to Vicky and Leon. As we say in France, Mariage Pluvieux, Mariage Heureux!

With beautiful days ahead, I am starting to look at cafes and restaurants with outside seating. I smiled at the name of this restaurant, a twist on flagrant delit.

 Winter in Paris has been cool but we also had some beautiful sunny days. This image at the bottom of Champs Elysees (my favorite part). No shops, you just walk.

Late afternoon near top of Champs Elysees. Pretty winter sky.

Inside le Grand Palais, an exhibit of photos/videos by Yann Arthus Bertrand (6 Billions of others). There was a special theme discussed in each “tent/cabana/igloo” (?) Family, love, war, beliefs, fear, happyness etc. It was a good take and always a pleasure to be inside le Grand Palais.

Pretty chandeliers just for this exhibit.

The small camera I always have with me (here taking photo of glass dome at Grand Palais).

Louvre and pyramid seen from above.

This image and the previous one taken from Richelieu wing. At le Louvre, I like the paintings and sculptures but I also enjoy looking through the windows.

A different kind of Paris pleasure: breakfast with hot chocolate at Angelina’s !!!
