Where is Spring?!


Soooo... Yesterday was the 1st day of spring. Too bad the weather gods of Paris are not aware of it ;-) It's cold and rainy, but it's also a good occasion to take cool photos ;-) Here is one I took today (Thursday) at the Hotel de Ville (I'm sure you recognized the building on the left and the beautiful street lamps). I don't know why, but I feel like going on vacation at the moment ;-)

  1. It's the same here in Toronto - no spring at all - just days of snow flurries!

  5. No Spring here. The snow was up to my knees as I slogged my way to my neighbor's today. SO ready for green and warmer weather!! We got nearly a foot of snow in the last 3 days!

  6. Wonderful photo! But like many other places in the northern hemisphere, it isn't spring here, either. We had snow flurries today and a biting cold wind.

  7. Did you wait to ensure the woman with the red skirt had the spire of Notre Dame on her head?

    Yes, it's cold all over. The normal weather patterns of the past are over, folks. It's all going to be weird now.

  9. When I saw your image on the CDP page, I thought it was Venice.
    Anyway, it will stop, and you will have a nice and sunny SPRING.

    It was not only the beginning of spring but also my Wedding Anniversary - always a GOOD DAY!
    Cool, really cool shot - sorry to rub it in - it is NOT as spring beginning should be!!!!

  14. You certainly took advantage of the less than springlike weather to get this cool shot! A vacation sounds like a good idea—but you know I'd head straight for rainy Paris. :~}
