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?
Cute when Americans complain in France
we saw the cutest thing....
a young American woman complained about how she waited for service at the phone store.
I should complain to her about her complaining as it wasted my time, too. Welcome to France - grab a baguette and get used to it.
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.
1st stage of Instagram sickness?
at Musee D'Orsay, after viewing a few of those old time Impressionists. YAWN.... back to Instagram!
how the *ell did he get there?
seriously, I'm trying to frame the picture, and focus and be level, and expose the photo, and this dude just walks in the center of my frame, and is probably just checking out the cutesy girls iceskating in tights. What is wrong with you???? It's ok, I'll get over it.
All eyes on Charlie
