PICTURING PARIS; RUNNING BY THE RIVER

Sunday morning run on ile Saint Germain, Paris south west…


Where the city meets the Seine 


A splash of colour on an, as yet, dull day 


Better days- what we need right now


The Bridges of Paris County!


Nature is endless


A bench beneath the bark 


Fragility in the field 


Framed gardens


The human touch 

A seat at the summit of the morning…

PICTURING PARIS, THE LAST BLUSH 

Today felt like the last blush of summer sunshine on the city that always shimmers, both in shadow and shade. These are some photo highlights I took this morning on my morning potter through the 5th arrondissement; heralded by Hemingway, the sunflower filled Jardin des Plantes and the touch of autumn rainfall on my shoulder along the Seine wth the rose windowed eyes of Notre Dame upon us all…
