Rainy afternoon in Paris

No takers for the neighbourhood Caroussel de Jules Verne on a rainy afternoon...

...but a variety of colourful roses at a local florist remind us of sunny days.

What a great day to be on a merry go round; the only one there - the smell of flowers and clean rain... sounds wonderful

(your typepad is being very stubborn and locking up - not allowing my comments concerning the photo of the wooden block; in which you asked what others would do with it... if it were mine I would use it on the wall; paint it something like a faux emerald green and then use gold paint - that actually had a gold shine to it; across the wall.... or I would paint assorted huge canvases with different backgrounds and create different color combinations with the block. What an excellent find!)

It's beautiful even in the rain...

I tried posting first but after 4 attempts I gave up ... I loved the roses, such a gift on a wet day in Paris.

Charming. Both the corousel and the roses. I love rainy weather :-)

I see photos like yours and long for an urban existence. I live much too much with nature-- and often forget that things elsewhere are alive in different ways.

Thank you for sharing these lovely photos, Tara! They are just beautiful and offer us Americans little glimpses of a wonderful life in Paris.

Hi dear Tara,
just to make you a little jalouse:
we have blue sky and sunshine in Budapest.
I am backing the first christmas cakes for a charity basar (and am thinking of Paris, which of course I will always love, eaven with a month filled up with rain...!). Love Jutta

Paris looks beautiful, even on a gray and rainy day! Thank you for sharing the carousel - I wonder if it's the only one in the world, dedicated to an author and his imagined worlds...

Even amidst the rain, the carousel if beautiful! And those flowers are breathtaking...

Oddly enough, it looks just like that here in Michigan today...grey and raining (alas, no carousel ;(

I love the buckets of roses - yummy! We had a few rainy, blustery days ... but now, today is a respite from the bad weather, with sun and cool, calm air.
