Paris Reflections

Anne says there should be no reflections in window shots.
But I can't live without them.

You get a double vision of Paris = fab hair + French balcons.

Lachaume Fleuriste + rue Royale.

Librairie Japonaise Junkudo + rue des Pyramid...

Cafe Constant + reflections of rue Saint-Dominique down the street from the Eiffel Tower.

Paris reflections can be in a cafe table top...

Or a car windshield.The French word for reflection can mean your image in the mirror.

To reflect is used for an image reflected in water.

And when you are thinking deeply - je reflechis a ceci.

So many visual reflections. I love this book on all of them-

Jonathan Miller's book, ON REFLECTION:
Reflective surfaces, from puddles to pewter to mirrored glass, have always been catnip to artists.What makes these images so especially puzzling and delicious...

Sometimes looking through the window.
You get the best reflections of all.

BON Reflections!
 

Bonjour Eiffel

It's Eiffel Tower day because we haven't had one in a while or just because...
Some of the pictures are mine. Some are not.
I love this cover of a French cahier/notebook.
I wish they sold balloons at the tower instead of all that other junk.
And popcorn...and ice cream...
Love this photo of Elliot Erwitt!
Lisa's Eiffel Tower, watercolor , 9" x 11"
My shot at l'heure blue...
Not mine...

Dusk...

Someone's shot from the Maison & Objet show.

My Eiffel Tower deco is to be continued...

A funny window reflection shot I got at Susanne's.

I don't know how I did this?

This poster hangs in my hallway-the first thing to greet you upon entry...

From Kusmi tea today - they're having a contest I think. See the Paris sillouhettes!

Another cahier cover with Paris monuments.

How many Paris monuments do you see here?

BONJOUR EIFFEL!

47. Paint your walls yellow

More anti-winter doldrums stuff just because... I was reading one of those annoying articles "50 Steps to Simple Happiness" in New York Magazine...

And last night as I was going through some Paris pictures I remembered 47. “Paint your walls yellow,

There's an awful lot of yellow in Paris, so obviously they figured it out ahead of New York Mag...

Yellow makes for much happiness at the pastry counter.

Gerard Mulot uses the yellow paint brush again and again on his gateaux...

Citron macarons are my favorite and make me very happy...

As does apricot jam, currently persona non grata in this household because I can eat it happily with a spoon nonstop...

Here some French Mandarin perfume...

Does yellow = gateaux?

Certainly yellow canaries are happy creatures to have around...

Better than Painting your walls yellow, would be to sit under a yellow awning at a Paris cafe non?

This is a wonderful and hard to find book on the origins and meaning of color.

By the way 16. “Eat one ounce of dark chocolate a day.

BONJOUR YELLOW!
