November Postcard from Paris. . .
I uploaded these photos yesterday afternoon, after a day of walking in the chilly rain to visit a few shops -- one related to reading (The Red Wheelbarrow English-language bookstore), the other related to writing (L'Ecritoire, a charming stationery shop). As well as walking and looking and shopping, I ate a splendid lunch and dinner and might tell you about those later, but at the moment, I've just returned from a marvellous visit to the Fondation Louis Vuitton (way over in Bois Du Boulogne) where I've feasted to post-satiety on Egon Schiele and Basquiat sketches and paintings.
I've taken many photos, and I've made a few notes, and I hope I'll be able to tell you something about my visit later, something about the overwhelming collection of images, but for now I seriously need a nap. . . (In fact, I woke up this morning wondering if I might just give myself the day off, in deference to fatigue, but I'd bought a ticket to those expositions, and I'm very glad I made the effort. Well rewarded that was. But I'm tired now. . .
So all I have for you is a stroll through the Luxembourg Gardens -- which happens to be right across the street from The Red Wheelbarrow Bookstore. . .
I've been here in every season now, and I never tire of strolling through the park, people-watching, admiring the landscaping, the most recent plantings.
I posted a short video of the Fontaine de Médicis on my Instagram page. As I suspected, that's a much easier way for me to post a short record of my travels, but I want to be sure those of you who prefer to follow the blog will see separate (or extra) images and text. Hence these photos.
I do hope you enjoy this visit to one of my favourite spots in Paris. I love that it's free, as well. So many things are, here, if you like to walk and to look. . . You could sit on one of these chairs and read, for example, but you'd want a big warm shawl!
I do wonder if Pan feels the cold a bit -- he's cavorting so energetically that he probably generates his own warmth. . . or is warmed by the colours of the chyrsanthemums below -- I love that planting!
A stark palette of blacks and whites and greys, but then those leaves, raked up and ready for composting. . .
I find so much inspiration here in the various palettes. . .
Here the chrysanthemums, and a fairly similar palette but such different proportions (swapping out black for light) -- and the sky!!
But really, I have to nap now. . . . Sorry to chat and run, but needs must and all that. . .
