  1. I love Red!!!!! It's one of my favorite color, but I do not find a lot of red in the current windows! Soupe populaire, what a terrible name for a restaurant!

  7. Good morning Carol! What beautiful photos today (as if they aren't always beautiful!). Your themes are poignant, simple yet penetrating, leaving me with a wonderful feeling that lasts all day long. What a great way to start my day... thanks many times over for you dedication! You are a wellspring of delight!
    For me, you've pointed out that red is used in Paris as a bold accent, sparingly yet with great impact. I love the way these points of red add delight to grey buildings. Though the architecture is beautiful in its own right, these touches spark them. Thanks again Carol, the fine artist and communicator you are!
    Delightful...
    Merci…
    :)))

    Carol, I think the fact that we Americans, as a whole, are always on the fly, always gotta go somewhere, be somehere, is the reason why we cannot sit for idle hours.
    I am the same way; I admire the folks who can "lollygag" at those outdoor cafes, but I can never 'allow" myself to be one of them!

  12. I just love your daily message.:) You come up with some of the most interesting things. Because of you, I have become determined to taste a real macaron. I have a friend who is going to Paris and the Loire Valley in about a week. I already gave her 10 Euros to buy me a wee container of macarons. She is going on a tour, so I hope she can get me one. I also turned her on to your blog and she loves it. I have recently returned from Italy (was there one week only :( ) and Italy (as far as I could see has nothing like the macaron BUT they did have a breakfast pastry they called the brioche (avec beurre et Nutella) that I quite enjoyed. Anyway, have a fruitful day.
