Blue, Grey & Green

Blue sky reflected in the Seine, morning sunlight casting tree shadows on the grey, stone quay and a green haze of grass taking root on the river wall.

Trackside Archipelago

It was a stem of wild clematis curling through one of the holes that first caught my eye.  When I’d parked the bike against the fence, I noticed the bold yellow and black graffiti and the young shoots of Ailanthus beyond the sheet metal panel. Then I saw the clouds, reflected in the black enameled surface.  

Wild Flowers on the Track

There’s no pleasing some people.  On a sunny afternoon in the Jardin des Tuileries I feel hemmed in by the crowds.

On the Banks

Another view from Sunday’s visit to the Jardin Flottant.  Not a great picture but it shows the context, and an unmistakeable landmark.
