Done!<br /><br />Well like you, I began to want to share some things about the photo and now two years later, I"m blathering on and on! HA You have found the right balance and I for one have enjoyed getting to know more about you through your wonderful blog. After those nice words, do I get to kiss your ring again the next time in Paris? :)<br /><br />Almost forgot, love the train shot and of course the sunflower made us all smile.<br />VVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152464973355194995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-25195290437613110242010-07-10T23:02:37.410+02:002010-07-10T23:02:37.410+02:00Wow, I really appreciate what several of you said ...Wow, I really appreciate what several of you said about the personal/public "ratio" there should be in a blog. My first aim was to make a blog about Paris, period. But then, of course, since it's made of photos that I take personally, parts of my life step "into the picture"! <br /><br />@Kiki. Yes I knew more of less the story about Tournesols, but thanks for your explanations.<br /><br />@Flore. Yes the heat is unbearable I must say...

I especially appreciate your comments because I am considering starting my own blog, but am somewhat hesitant. <br /><br />For me, the best blogs are the ones that touch on universal experiences, like the one Eric shared regarding his aunt. Blogs that provide this sense of connection with people all over the world are one of the best things about the Internet. Striking the right balance is always a concern for a blogger, but Eric you definitely achieve this with PDP.ann p.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-26122642219718524842010-07-10T18:47:45.751+02:002010-07-10T18:47:45.751+02:00Eric, I hear you about being "too personal&qu...Eric, I hear you about being "too personal" on a blog. Even in comments, every time we post we make choices about how much to reveal. What goes on the web stays on the web. We're projecting our personalities out there.<br /><br />I've given talks about blogging, and I tell people to save the photos of drunken orgies for their private albums, but go ahead and let their personal warmth shine through their posts. I think you achieve the personal warmth bit extremely well.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-90181578283699354782010-07-10T17:01:23.810+02:002010-07-10T17:01:23.810+02:00Eric; do you know that tournesols (tourner vers le...Eric; do you know that tournesols (tourner vers le sol..eil) are called like this because in the morning, the are holding their heads towards to rising sun and in the evening, the have turned them towards the west (sundown). It REALLY works like that and I see it every day in my sunflowers in the garden.... :) A fantastic thing to observe and a wonderful, wonderful flower.<br />They are also the favourite flowers of both my mother and my little sister, both of whom have their birthday on the 20th July... The right flower for their birthday cards and I have made two different photos for their cards.<br />I feel with you about not being too personal on a blog; but friend - face it -, THAT is what blogs are all about.... the me, me, me... it's like an open diary! And isn't it lovely to know that many people, including this woman here, have been thinking kindly of your auntie; sending a loving thought, a prayer - and hey presto - it works beautifully! SO GLAD that she is already on better ways now... there IS a lot of worry during those hot, hot days, and elderly people get quite frail.<br />Have a lovely weekend; I for one am fixing those cards and preparing them to send them out - abroad always takes a bit longer!<br />KikiKikihttp://www.flickr.com/photos/vol-au-vent/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-37870822684311073762010-07-10T16:46:55.961+02:002010-07-10T16:46:55.961+02:00Beautiful.

The least the flower can do is to be as beautiful as possible then, isn't it? <br />Back to packing. <br />Heureusement que je ne pars pas au Pôle nord, je ne pourrais pas sortir les pulls et les polaires avec cette chaleur ;) Maillots de bain, lunettes de soleil et ça ira :) Faut aller à l'essentiel ...

They are such happy flowers; one of my favorites.<br /><br />As to your comment about not wanting to bring too much of your personal life into this blog, I understand what you're saying but hearing about your aunt made you even more human to me and to a lot of people, judging from their responses. It is a part of life to which we can all relate. What was happening to you personally made the photo of the train station even more moving.
