Lions and icons and statues
Auguste Cain
LION de NUBIE et sa PROIE
Walking around with my iPhone, I decided to capture the many beautiful statues here in Paris. Here’s one from Auguste Cain in Jardin du Luxembourg. He has several statues around the city, and I love them all. Next time I’ll try when there’s sun.
Paris with 2 ladies and a selfie at sunset
sometimes because I live here in Paris, I forget the fun people have taking photos of their adventures.
These 2 young ladies were having a great time on the bridge at sunset and let me photograph them. Thanks and bon voyage (this was a while ago, and I just ran across the photo).
Wine by the Bandol
Bandol with a friend
L’homme du midi. Wines from southern France, like Bandol are my favorites. Many people would like this one. I can’t describe it like an aficionado, so please try it.
Red and though meaty, we ate it with chicken and butternut squash. Silky smooth and not too young. If you find you like the cépage or grape variety, then we should talk about others.
All this American could do was bring something to wash it down.
Another wonderful lunch with my friends.
xmas thief?
French Santa is heavy, can't climb, and that tiny sack... Gold Santa? Really, is there a label on it, too?
Butts
from the Mayor of Paris in a tweet: (translated by Google for us)
Ann Hildago says,
One butt is enough to pollute 500 liters of water! In Paris, smokers must take responsible actions. 24,500 fines were imposed in 2017 on those who persist in throwing their butts on the ground. Behaviors must change! #Cleanliness
Me:
Paris looks cleaner than when I arrived, and I see people who use designated places for cigarettes in Paris. It seems that more people are trying to keep the city cleaner.
Paris - snow?
I can’t remember when it snowed last in Paris but I’m sure I have an earlier post from a bygone era.
This week, when it floods it snows!
New experience: this dad and son were throwing snowballs under the nose of Édith Piaf.
The kid got whacked by dad a little too hard. Gloves went flying and the poor garçon was crying, until dad hugged him and apologized.
Jabba the snowman
Octave speaks English , with an accent
Paris d'Accord
Does Donald Trump now works for Pittsburg, and not America? It seems that helping the world is beyond his pay grade.
As we all know, Paris wouldn't want him. It's a beautiful city, non?
in the house of Sade
another visit to the house of Sade, and a little odd bringing my mother-in-law with us.
Funny, spell check chose the word "safe" instead of "Sade". And "bringing" became "grinding"
sorry, no pics allowed, hee hee
