Easy, breezy, JONI MITCHELL fits so well with the heat wave we're having. 90 degrees in the shade. Sunbathing Frenchies don't mind.
Not me. I'd rather be in this speed boat with les Flics, feeling the breeze.
BEAR 🐻is collecting Ambre Solaire for a sunny weekend. This is gonna last for a few.
What to wear? Mom and daughter cut-off sun suits.
Or a breezy long skirt. Another 'Extended Cafe'. Sounds like a night course doesn't it? They are everywhere including bordering Eglise Saint-Louis. Set to continue through September
Though my guess is they're here for good.
I wouldn't mind.
Waiting for the lunch crowd.
Rotisserie de la Tour at 19 quai de la Tournelle has gone all out. Their waiters must now cross the heavily-trafficked quai to deliver their excellent poulet by the Seine! Yesterday was their 1st day but Parisians showed up. Its wacky or maybe just ingenious.
Yesterday I dug out my fan/evantaille. Essential in the land of little A-C.
All manner of berries and Rosé are present and counted.
I shot the fiery skyline out my window at 5 am. It predicts another scorcher today. Capturing it on paper in watercolor is another matter...
'I am a lonely painter.
Living in a box of paints'.
Thank you Joni. Thank you PBers for stopping by. Please share Paris Summer with a friend. Stay cool 🐻💋🥂
Gorgeous watercolors of your skyline and love the 2 elegant ladies!
ReplyDeleteThanks Monique. Yr too kind..first efforts. Must Practice, practice !
DeleteI love these early morning paintings.My mentor Pat Witt literally did thousands of 6 X 7paintings, one every fifteen minutes, at sunset.
ReplyDeleteI must try doing them on the spot instead of from photos later on..the colors are much stronger
DeleteGood idea Bill!
more like this please. This made me so happy! I have been following you for so long and wish I could walk around with you.

ReplyDeleteI’m frightened by the devil
And I’m drawn to those ones that ain’t afraid...”
Joni..A Case of you
The oldies but goodies are especially good during these times..
DeleteI love that Rotisserie de la Tour set up tables on the bridge.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever dream that you would be able to dine on the Pont de la Tournelle?! That is one of my favorite restaurants, they have consistently good food. Hope their waiters get good tips for dodging the traffic!
It is very good indeed. And French ppl dont usually tip! Hmm...
DeleteI love the extended cafes - hope they stay around for my next visit (if we can ever beat this thing and be allowed in) and dining on the Pont would be elegant and so much fun. Hope you're doing OK in the heat wave - stay cool and give Bear an ice cube or two. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteDining on the pont on a breezy night is very appealing.
DeleteLunch not so much.
I learned a new trick to stay cool - wet a cotton neckerchief in cold water, wring it out and wear till it dries. Then rewet. Works a charm. There are collant scarves vut this is better. You have to get up occasionally..
Your summer photos of Paris are so welcome at this time.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing what Parisiennes are wearing...the long skirt looks so cool...and that mother daughter duo are too cute.
ReplyDeleteThank you for allowing me to follow you on your walks and experiences in one of our favorite cities.
ReplyDeleteTHe skyline is wonderful -- both photo and painting! I love the idea of the extended cafes. Looks like summer has arrived!
ReplyDeleteYour skies are gorgeous. Rotisserie de la Tour is a favorite of ours. I wonder if their cat, Beaujolais, is still reigning or has he/she been new kitten?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous skies and
ReplyDeletevery nifty silhouette of the skyline.
Thank you for your lovely window to Paris!
ReplyDeleteWill you visit this exhibit? :)
