Perfect Parisian Weather (A Day or Two at a Time)…

The month of May proved to be slightly cooler than I had first hoped.  There were not two days in a row that offered sunshine and warm temps together for the majority of the month.  And sometimes we’d be treated to overcast skies and drizzle and wind for days on end.  Needless to say, when the sun did appear, my friend Heather and I tried to take full advantage of it.  Heather had long wanted to capture some iconic shots around the city and it’s really difficult to do that alone.  So armed with my camera, the two of us frolicked here and there around Paris, posing and experimenting with angles and light, and genuinely had a blast during some of our last days in our favorite city…

(The following pictures were tweaked and formatted by the fabulous Heather, so I give her all the credit.  I love all the ones she used in her “Parisian Antics” album, and they are just too good to not include here…)

The only place in the Musée d'Orsay where you are 'allowed' to take pictures...

Up high...

You can just see the clock on the far side...

Love this window...

Great shadows...

Seriously.

Surreptitiously taking photos on the 2nd level!

At the 'foot' of the clock...

Mesmerized...

Feeling small...

Walkin'...

Café posing...

Penny for your thoughts...

Rodin's "Gates of Hell"...

Contemplating...

Gardens at Musée Rodin...

Enormous flowers,

make Heather happy!

Enormous flowers,

make me laugh!

Happy to see dry weather on Free Museum Day!

"All the single ladies, All the single ladies"...

Whatcha thinkin'?

Looking at that 'sculpted' behind!

Museum stickers...

Le Pont Alexandre III...

Ah, Paris...how I love your bridges!

So Parisian!

So happy!

Macarons and tea at La Durée...oh la la!

Private paradise at Versailles...

The palace is closed on Mondays, but the gardens and canal are open!

Enjoying the sunshine...

It's the little things...

Something made me laugh!

Heather is a great rower...

Really, she is.

Me?

Not so much.

No, really.

But I had fun trying!

Relax...

Oh, Heyyyy, Versailles...

Almost had the canal to ourselves...

View of the château...

Say cheese!

Couldn't resist a field full of flowers...buttercups, even.

Are the guards coming to get us?

Perfect gust of wind...

Le Grand Trianon...

Cute!

Chill...

Watching a bug fly away...

Happy smile...

More dandelion fluff...

4th time was a charm...

Au revoir, Versailles...

Heather, we’ll always have Paris…

I miss you both ♥
