The hotel de ville or city hall fronted by a profusion of pink blooms on trees.
Spring planting boxes are adorned with ferns, flowers, feathers and decorated Easter eggs at Les Passages.
A wall of moss, leaves, ferns, flowers, feathers and eggs lends a festive air to Les Passages.
This lovely mossy plant panel extending from the ground floor to the second level in Les Passages reminds me of a rock-climbing wall - sans the frou-frou, of course.










What a feast for the eyes! xx, JP/deb

HI busy lady!!! I am glad you are back with us!
I loved these, they are getting me in the mood for spring.
I guess you are in the right place for spring, being in Paris.
I expect the most wonderful photos from you as usual this season.
I hope you enjoyed your guests...

Easter is very early this year and nearly coincides with Spring Day.
Your post is a good illustration of it - Spring and Easter nicely intertwined!

Love the wall of moss, feathers and other treasures. So inspiring! Thank you for taking me along on the visual tour! Tara, if you need to contact me for any reason, will you please email me at this address here, as I'm unable to retrieve my messages from home.
