ONe of my favorite memories was sitting in the Rodin Museum gardens, drawing with our feet. Very few people saw us there, so that was not the paint. We pictured people through the years in here, strolling, posing, painting, sculpting, talking. We wanted to do something that maybe, just maybe, had never been done there. That's what we chose.<br /><br />Why that thought occurred to me here? I don't know, but thank you for making me remember six of the most inspiring, magical, silly, beautiful, unnerving, ridiculous, romantic, moving weeks of my life.JeannetteLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528285846408727632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-4369390803239163142011-10-06T05:29:14.111+02:002011-10-06T05:29:14.111+02:00WEll I'm back after being led here by our Jame...WEll I'm back after being led here by our James.

Your flights of fancy are remarkable, and exhausting. <br />By coincidence I watched the 1939 film version of Hugos "Hunchback of Notre Dame" just yesterday. The sets, as you know, are astounding in there depiction of Medieval Paris. As I frolicked in my chair with the bizarre celebrants taking part in the festival of fools I was transfixed by the grandeur, chaos, and shear fantastical nature of the illusion that is film. I thought the chimera complete. Today, here, I realised the missing element of Dieterle's masterwork. There were no pigeons in the bell tower!!! I am enlightened. <br />Your humble servant, SpringmanSpringmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09094132506583563094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-4550068678810876042011-09-28T20:06:34.707+02:002011-09-28T20:06:34.707+02:00Thanks for the showing me around Paris!Thanks for the showing me around Paris!jeanlivingsimplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820800238853344959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-807306226476499872011-09-27T23:58:32.634+02:002011-09-27T23:58:32.634+02:00Wow, a great series of photos from Paris.

And I'm very, very honored and pleased that you wanted to take the trip with me, and leave a few words. I thank you... Be well until the next time...Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-342907750935166072011-09-26T19:14:26.107+02:002011-09-26T19:14:26.107+02:00My goodness.

It certainly was worth waiting until late Sunday night to have the house quiet to end my day with such a beautiful tour. I really lingered over your words and each image. I was really touched thinking of you being a small red-headed boy there in Paris 40 years ago, and also by realizing that it is where you were married. If we all could/would follow our hearts the way you did yours there would be many more fulfilled lives than there are. I love how much you love it, all of it, there. <br /><br />I loved most the sunset photo with the lights on the boat, and next best for reasons I cannot describe is how you captured the few remaining reflection glasses on the building that is being torn down. It looked like a lovely building to me...Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-64364013209875011462011-09-26T03:51:57.694+02:002011-09-26T03:51:57.694+02:00I can't decide which I like better the image o...I can't decide which I like better the image of the saint, or all the Native Americans...
