Weekend strolls

I at least have two less people who write my political blah off to cynicism; the two guys serving unprecedented jail sentences for being caught in the post election riots. I agree, those that burn cars for fun in the name of protest are peasant scum, but amazing how justice can change in a few days since Sunday's elections... hmmmm

Not too much else to report, so just quick Parisian weekend in photos...





















Rue Mouffetard, apparently a road from the Roman days, with its market that dates back to the 12th century. A feast for the senses with a jazz quartet on the corner, coffee wafting out the brasserie and meat, bread , fruit and flowers all along the road.
















Sorry there are quite a few flower photos that you have had to put up with of late, but it is spring, and it has certainly sprung in France. Such beautiful roses and rhododendrons to be found all over.










































































The sun and storm clouds jousted for dominance on Sunday afternoon, above and below are not only the same day, but probably 10 minutes apart, beautiful day for a stroll. Both photos of the beautiful Pont Alexandre III.




































"Ball games strictly forbidden", hmm seemed to work ;)
















Believe it or not, the military school, expect it to be some botany institute huh?

Hope the flowers are smiling at you this week.
