....in this otherwise grey and gloomy day in Paris. This is opening day of the Antiquites Brocante at Bastille. This morning the sun shone briefly, but before I could leave my apartment, it started to rain. Since it's not ideal to be at the brocante in the rain - much less shooting photos - I decided to go another day. Meanwhile, I'm catching up on editing photos, clearing out files, answering emails and running errands. Back later with another post. Hope you find some sunshine in your day!

Beautiful gerberas! We had a couple of fantastic crisp, sunny autumn days here. Wish I could bottle it and mail it to you. Overcast today, I'll wait.

Autumnal daisies basking in the morning sunshine -
thank you, they'll keep me smiling in this sea of grey we are wading in right now.
I hope the sun turns out again and you sends you off to the brocante!
