“Fontainebleau is a town southeast of Paris, known for the opulent Fontainebleau Palace. Built by French royalty, with parts dating back to the 1100s, the palace houses Marie Antoinette’s Turkish boudoir, the Napoleon Museum and a lavish theater. Its formal gardens feature ornamental lakes and sculptures.”
The palace is lovely, and filled with treasures beyond belief. As you can see, the sky was ominous as we walked through the gardens and later explored the town, but not a drop of rain fell!

Roseraie du Jardin des Plantes, Paris
La roseraie du Jardin des Plantes est située devant la Galerie de Minéralogie. C'est à la fois un jardin de roses, au charme romantique, et un "jardin de roches" où l'on peut voir, à la manière de sculptures, ce grès de Fontainebleau, des blocs d'ardoise de Trélazé, de marbre, ou bien encore une souche fossilisée...
Just as I pressed the button, this shieldbug took off, and I cursed assuming that I had (yet another) empty leaf shot.... but when I viewed the image to delete it, I realised that it had captured the event just at the right moment! Talk about lucky!!
