A Christmas tree and reindeer in my neighbourhood.
Today I braved the crowds to photograph the last-minute Christmas rush in Paris: the multitude of shoppers; glittering store windows and seasonal decorations. Check back later for more photos.
Hope your own holiday plans are going smoothly. I plan to spend tomorrow baking; my British chef (husband) has responsibility for the main Christmas dishes, including a turkey.

Tara,
Give that chef of yours a hug for me!
Enjoy that turkey!
Fabulous photography sweetie!
