Waiting for the rain to stop...


I'm generally not too weather conscious when I'm in Paris, for I don't really care if the sun is shining or not when I'm working. But now I had it! For the past 3 months, I don't recall a week without heavy rain and/or low temperatures... Impossible to plan anything outdoor (not even the PDP picnic!). According to Meteo-Paris, my favorite weather site, it should improve when July comes, but nothing is certain. I thought this photo was a perfect illustration of the situation. I took it during the Music Feast rehearsal, in the afternoon and thought the scene was really cute.

  1. Oh, that is a sweet picture. And your title is a perfect match.

    As for the rain, that's why Paris is so green and lush. :)

  2. Before I read the caption, I thought, "Oh, poor thing - she looks so melancholy". I'm impressed. You photographed her from the back and still your mood was translated perfectly! I hope you get a chance to dry out.

  3. All I know is that May 10, the day we arrived in Paris, was a beautiful warm and breezy day. Euphoria!

  4. I hope that the next time you're in the Palais Royal, the sun is shining! But I do love this picture (and the angle, of course).`

  5. Don't feel bad. In northern Minnesota, the city of Duluth received seven inches of rain in 24 hours and had serious flooding problems. They actually had to evacuate areas of the city because of flooding. So, while I appreciate the distress in the Palais Royale, maybe it wasn't so bad.

    I'll keep you posted on the Diner en Blanc Minneapolis.

  7. Looks like it worked Eric. Bright and sunny today...at least for now! I think she could also be waiting to be told she can "go out and play"...

  9. I've been reading about all the rain and cool temperatures in Paris and other European cities. Don't you just hate that! Summer doesn't last all that long and it would be nice if the weather would cooperate at least for a bit so that you can have a picnic or two.

  11. So springtime in Paris is no longer the best time to visit?
