LA SEINE
Le soir tombe sur la Seine.
La Tour Eiffel habillée d’écarlate raconte les prémices d’un festival.
Notre-Dame se drape de lumière, et c’est comme si mille ans n’avaient pas duré plus d’une journée.
Le bateau-mouche empli d’histoires intimes devient l’acteur principal,
Le pont Mirabeau s’est fait une beauté,
Et pointe deux mains tendues vers le point d’orgue de ce carnaval.
La Seine, de plus en plus belle à la nuit tombée,
Fend les vagues et vogue vers le pays des rêves, emportant les secrets de chacun en son sein.
(Philippe Poggianti )
From an 'outing' last week, including my beloved little sister (of whom you hear quite a bit... and who brought me ALREADY NOW the most amazing 'Advent calendar' 2009 - 26 individually packed presents, numbered and lovingly wrapped - just like she did for me the past years!) See comments for photos of her goodie 'bags'....
We took the boat trip on the river Seine and although the weather wasn't up to our expectations, we still enjoyed our one-hour tour greatly. We saw all the Paris attractions from the boat, we didn't worry about traffic, and the guide told us what had to know - you even get a brochure with the 'items' described in many languages.
The boat cruise was followed by a walk to the Jardin du Luxembourg where Kiki took another 300 photos, mostly of couples in love.... what a dramatically romantic place this is! I think in my whole life I've never seen so many lovers at any one place. This is my second visit in a few weeks and on both occasions my camera groaned under the impact of so much loving get-together.... :) I'll upload a mosaic of some scenes - one day.... (It will be important not to show faces, I didn't ask for the snaps and therefore those people must stay anonymous). Lots of work....
Enjoy a moment of pure joy with me - I am SO THANKFUL for the love of my partner, my family and friends, for being 'rich' enough to take trips, for having so much to share, for my fabulous camera..... and the backache I have from working long hours in the garden, meaning that I have a LARGE AND VERY BEAUTIFUL GARDEN wilderness!!!!

If you have time, you might wish to visit my EXPLORE portfolio. I will soon stop adding this link as I've fallen foul of having my photos on Explore. I find it not difficult though, I have hardly any time for my friends as it is and now mustn't write to so many unknown commentators! Vive l'amitié!!!
Qu'il fasse beau, qu'il pleuve, qu'il vente, la Tour Eiffel est toujours majestueuse!

È notte ed è molto tardi, qualcuno qui attorno sta suonando "la vie en rose", è la maniera francese per dire "sto guardando il mondo con degli occhiali colorati di rosa" ed è esattamente quello che provo io adesso... Ho imparato tante cose qui... Ho imparato a vivere.
