Au Printemps

Here is Paris


in the full-blown blossomy spring:



the soft, just-opened green-ness,



the bright blueness of it,





the crisp caramel orangeness



and the crazy metallic redness.

The darkness of it,

and the lightness.

  1. Merci beaucoup. I usually see Paris in the rain which has its own moody charm of course but I prefer les belles couleurs.

  12. Ah, Springtime ! Although the pink of the hydrangeas is so bright my favourite photo has to be the new green virginal leaves of those trees.
    Thank you.
