La Pluie (Weekend Street/Reflections # 86)

 Paris, France

"Tombe tombe tombe la pluie

Le ciel est gris la pluie s'invite comme par surprise

elle est chez nous et comme un rite qui nous enlise

les parapluies s'ouvrent en cadence

comme une danse,

les gouttes tombent en abondance

sur douce France."

Le Kiosque de Paris (Weekend Street/Reflections # 22)

Some yellow flowers to brighten the day! 

I think the woman on the bike wants a bouquet to go with her scarf.

Have a great weekend!

Galerie de Montpensier (Weekend Reflections # 578)

 

Paris, France

Reflections of a hanging lamp and a woman walking in Le Jardin du Palais Royal. 

Palais Royal will always have special place in my heart. It's where I stayed on my first several trips to Paris. I used to be able to open the apartment door and step out onto the covered walkway inside of the gates of Palais Royal. The other door opened to Rue de Montpensier. I used to use that door when I wanted to walk to the local boulangerie patisserie, "Au Grand Richelieu." They had the most delicious pain au chocolat and I was always greeted with a warm smile from the proprietor Claude and his cat.😀 

Claude couldn't speak English and I couldn't speak French (except for bonjour, s'il vous plait and merci), but it never made a difference. The Boulangerie Patisserie Au Grand Richelieu was over 200 years old, but sadly, it closed its doors forever several years ago. Another place that I have fond memories of was a little restaurant on Rue Thérèse called Chez Stella. Stella ran the place and interacted with guests like it was her home and not a restaurant. Sadly, that is gone too. Thank God for memories.

Have a great weekend!

Divas (Weekend Reflections # 560)

A reflection near the metro station Arts et Métiers. I think the reflection was on an acrylic casing that covers a metro map.

Happy Father's Day!

Un Rêve Lucide (Weekend Reflections # 552)

Paris, France

When I saw this reflection I had the same feeling as I do when I suddenly realize that I'm dreaming. It's usually triggered by something familiar but not quite right. The feeling is usually disconcerting and sometimes startles me awake, other times I adapt and go with it. During the past few months I've had similar feelings about this strange new world we've been thrust into. However, I'm pretty sure I'm awake.

Have a great weekend!
