Au Revoir

We were still floating on a cloud of reverie as we ascended to cruising altitude...




































and then, at 30,000 feet where there was no escaping it, reality was served up by a friendly flight attendant, and we knew - We aren't in Paris anymore.




Thank you for indulging a rather lengthy transition period. NDL is ready for reentry now. See you in the alley.

Good eye - wonderful pictures (especially the 3-tiered one with the Louvre entrance pyramid.) I almost feel like I was right there with you.

Yes, ditto that honeybee. I am sad to have it end, but I understand we must all move on. I do hate to see it end.....

Aw shucks Honeybee and Mary B., you sure know how to make a girl feel good, but...I can't go on living a lie. I must confess that three of the photos from this post, including the one you mention, benefitted from the experience of a professional "eye".

I had the great fortunate to be able to tag along with a friend to part of her class on photographing Paris with an SLR camera. After the real class participants practiced taking shots suggested by the instructor, I would try a similar shot with my little point and shoot Canon. I feel pretty happy with the results, but can't wait to see how my friend's photos turned out.

Whew, I feel better now.

You still took the pictures! Thank you for so many compelling vignettes of Paris and a reason for all of your readers to put it on their Bucket List!

Sigh. The photos are fantastic Laura! I love the one of Mary Lynn reflected in the windows and (is it on the Blog or just on Kodak Gallery, I just looked through those) the one of the sky and cityscape.

I love it, too. Makes me smile whenever I see it.
