Evening in Paris...Remember the romantic perfume by that name, with its distinctive cobalt-blue bottle? The Saturday evening sunset, as glimpsed from our balcony. I like the stark contrast of winter's bare tree branches against the sky's pastel hues. Photo by David Holmes.
Spectucular sunset and David has captured it beautifully. Evening in Paris!!! OMG -- I haven't thought of that in years!!! My mother wore that when I was a little girl and I can still see that distinctive blue bottle!!!! Thanks for giving me a happy memory!!

So romantic - even in winter, Paris is beautiful - at least when seeing it through your lens - you have an eye for beauty, Tara~xOx

I imagine many couples were caught kissing under such a beautiful sky.

Tara...
I love the silhouetted branches against the evening sky. It looks beautiful. You have a nice view. I am glad you take the time to actually look at it. Who does that? I haven't in awhile.

Bonsoir Paris Parfait,
Is it Soir de Paris by firm Bourjois ? I take this opportunity to tell you how much I appreciate your blending of social-political news, poetry, antiques fairs reviews and Parisian window shops. (en particulier Chanel). I used to live in Paris and now live in Spain so it's very refreshing!
Referring to hacking, I couldn't believe the other day someone tried to hack my paypal account. So yes, beware
