Yes, I know, every year I post a photo that looks more or less like this one, around the same time of the year...But autum leaves make good photos and when they are taken in Paris, it makes a big difference ;-) I've taken this photo, in a little garden near the rue de la Madone, in the 18th arrondissement where I went shopping for Chinese food (there is a litlle Chinese quarter over there). That's all, have a nice fall/autumn Sunday everyone, except for those who live in the South hemisphere who are gently entering Spring...
nice pic. i love it...
ReplyDeleteAutumn leaves drift by my window.... They are lovely anywhere in the world, but special in Paris...
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Is autumn a nice time to visit Paris?
ReplyDeleteAutumn leaves are always great to photograph... mine is always yellow/brown... yours are green & might have just fallen off.... great way to welcome autumn.
ReplyDeleteso sad..autumn always make me sad
ReplyDeleteAnd there's that perspective that I like so much. Somehow I never put "Paris" and "Chinese takeout" together . . . but why not?
ReplyDeleteI love autumn leaves and their colors... when they're still on the trees !
ReplyDeleteAfter that, cleaning the garden is a pain ;-((
@Petrea "Is autumn a nice time to visit Paris?" Good question! I get it quite a lot (with all seasons actually ;-)
ReplyDeleteI never know what to answer as I would say there are no "good" season to visit Paris. It's a personal choice; whether you don't mind wearing a sweater and enjoy sheltering in a nice café for a cup of tea and macarons when it's cold or if you prefer being in a T-shirt but surrounded by dozens of other tourists in the summer.
I am unable to answer. I like all seasons in Paris even if I complain when I have to take my scooter in the rain or when the temperatures go below 0...
What month or months are there less tourists, and no snow? That is the month I would want to visit! :) It is true--green leaves on the ground are not the usual "autumn leaves" in this area of the world, they are almost always orange, yellow, or red. We have a huge pile of them in the yard right now, but thankfully not covered with snow like our friends 30 miles away!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eric, you've answered my question! I like warmth but I prefer cool air to crowds, so I think autumn is the time for me.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean you're planning a trip Petrea?
ReplyDeleteOh, Michael! I'm always planning a trip! Executing the trip is the problem!
ReplyDeleteCool photo -- I really like the abstraction in the background, very pretty colours.
ReplyDeleteI like Paris in the autumn -- all seasons actually. I love Paris any time -- any time at all. :-)
Down, but still full of (green) life. They're just resting. Just pining...for the fjords. Like a Norwegian Blue. (Only Monty Python freaks will have any idea...)
ReplyDeleteI love Paris in the autumn and my best Paris memories are of this time of year, I remember listening to "Autumn Leaves" while riding the batobus down the Seine...and the Della Reese song "Something Cool" when she says..."the time I went to Paris...and stayed ALL Fall..."....yes, Autumn...
