500th post! Oui! C'est vrai and I have you to thank. If not for your encouragement and support, I wouldn't still be writing this blog. This international community of the blogosphere of which we're all a part - birds of a feather, despite the differences in our languages and cultures - continues to challenge and inspire me daily. Thank you very much, merci bien and gracias mi amigos!
congratulations on post #500! Your fantastic photos and prose always bring me back for more.

Good work! ...
And that is quite a suit!
I may be in Paris soon (next week)... thinking about bringing HH to the city for his first
