Snowflakes falling this morning in Paris. Click photos to view detail.
The courtyard of our apartment building, coated with snow. It's the first real snowfall of the season.
A street lantern is at the center of this photo taken from my second-floor balcony. Beyond is the Bois du Boulogne, blanketed in white.
Bamboo and other snow-covered trees.

You have captured its essence, fluffy and soft and magical.

I saw snow for the first time in Paris in late-November, 1993. I was thirty-four. I had overslept and had no chance to catch the train to meet a customer in Lannion. I opened the blinds and there were flakes falling, and frost on the window, and yesterday's subdued colors had turned to white. After two hours, after the anguish had passed, thank God, the snowing hadn't stopped, and I began to consider the miracle before me, and was soon consumed by it.
Thanks for your visit to my blog. I have added your link on mine.

In all the years I lived in Paris, it never snowed enough to stick, only enough to form gray slushy puddles to step in on the way to the metro. But these photos - beautiful! - are making me miss Paris terribly.

So beautiful ... and yesterday here in Sydney Australia the temperature was 40 degress C ...I'd rather be there!

How beautiful! I can hear the snow fall from here.

Hey gorgeous!
Your lantern photo is reminiscent of Narnia!
Love it. Love the snow when it is pretty like this. Yesterday we had a similar snowfall-like someone shook up a snowglobe, gentle fat flakes.

Beautiful snow. I hope we get a little snow for Christmas, but I think it will be just rain. So a cozy fire in the fireplace will be calling and I will turn my back on the window so I can imagine snow is out there. Very pretty, love the lantern in the park.

Lovely and cozy - but what a world away from the weather in Jordan, eh?!

Quite beautiful!

its magical, we are expecting some here in London, which will probably mean everything at a standstill for 48 hours, so like you I'll be out there with my camera.

It will probably melt by the time you hit the road! Safe travels.

Very pretty - but I'm not sure this bodes well for my drive to the Limousin!
