Place Juliette Gréco 2 (Weekend Street/Reflections # 154)

 Paris, France

I took this picture either right before or after I took the picture of the crossword puzzle lady in Weekend Street/Reflections # 147. The dog seemed to resent the fact that his owner didn't seem to understand the concept of walking. 😏

Place Juliette Gréco (Weekend Street/Reflections # 147)

 

Paris, France                                 Mots croisés au parc

A woman doing crossword puzzles in a little park. It's a good way to keep your mind sharp. I should do a few of them because my mind has become very dull recently.😲

Suivez le guide (Weekend Street/Reflections # 146)

The man in front had an interesting style and perhaps an even more interesting gait. I think a video would have captured it better. 😀

Image à la sauvette (Weekend Street/Reflections #145)

 

Paris, France

When I take street pictures, I usually try to anticipate what's going to happen next. Watching all the moving pieces in relation to stationary objects.  Always hoping for the right things to fall in place in order to make an interesting photo. 

On this day I was walking near Galeries Lafayette when I noticed a group of people crossing the street from my left and a truck coming from the opposite direction. The green-haired woman caught my eye and so did the caption on the side of the truck that said "C'est bon de se mettre au vert" (It's good to go green). I remember thinking <I wish I had enough time to take off the lens cap and snap a picture at the precise moment the caption was above her head.>

But it all took place in just a few seconds.

After wasting time thinking about it I took the shoot a split second too late, but thankfully all the elements were still in the frame. Later when I looked at the photo I realized I had two chances to get the shot I wanted. "Green is the new black" would have worked too. 😀

Dans le Marais (Weekend Street/Reflections # 144)

It's been a while since I've posted a reflection, so here's a street reflection.😉

I'd probably be a nervous wreck walking a puppy without a leash in a big city.

Une vitrine pas comme les autres (Weekend Street/Reflections #140)

 

Paris, France

I've seen lots of interesting window displays during the Christmas season, but this was one of the most unusual.  Or so I thought until I realized he was a worker cleaning off the 2014 display to prepare for the approaching new year.

Alone with his thoughts and the sound of rain. That looks like a good place to walk and think.

Le petit navigateur (Weekend Street/Reflections # 107)

 

Paris. France

Un concept simple qui existe depuis plus de 150 ans sur les bassins des Jardins des Tuileries à Paris.

Un souffle de vent dans les voiles de ces petits bateaux et, avec eux, navigue le bonheur des enfants les dirigeant avec leur gaffe.

A simple concept that has existed for more than 150 years in the pools of the Jardins des Tuileries in Paris.

A breath of wind in the sails of these small boats and, with them, sails the happiness of the children directing them with their gaff.

Is it just me or does the man on the left look tiny?

I guess it's all about the perspective.😄

Une femme en train de fumer (Weekend Street/Reflections # 80)

Paris, France

Healthy vs unhealthy habits. 

Smoking cigarettes and eating too much ice cream (Berthillon) is bad for you.  

Walking and bike riding is good for you. 

I don't smoke or ride a bike, but I walk a lot, and I like to eat ice cream, toujours avec modération.😇

Un homme d'autrefois (Weekend Street/Reflections # 73)

I saw this guy near Victor Hugo's house and wondered if I'd gone back in time.

Le Lutetia (Weekend Street/Reflections # 65)

 

Paris, France

I was on Rue de Picardie about to cross Rue de Bretagne in the 3rd Arrondissement when I noticed the woman in the window smoking a cigarette. From a distance, she reminded me of Miss Marple but not so much when I got closer. There aren't many things I enjoy more than wandering around with my camera at night in European cities.
