Alas, I have been forced to delete more than 2,100 posts, due to photo theft and copyright infringement.
No takers for the neighbourhood Caroussel de Jules Verne on a rainy afternoon...
...but a variety of colourful roses at a local florist remind us of sunny days.

What a great day to be on a merry go round; the only one there - the smell of flowers and clean rain... sounds wonderful
(your typepad is being very stubborn and locking up - not allowing my comments concerning the photo of the wooden block; in which you asked what others would do with it... if it were mine I would use it on the wall; paint it something like a faux emerald green and then use gold paint - that actually had a gold shine to it; across the wall.... or I would paint assorted huge canvases with different backgrounds and create different color combinations with the block. What an excellent find!)
I see photos like yours and long for an urban existence. I live much too much with nature-- and often forget that things elsewhere are alive in different ways.
Hi dear Tara,
just to make you a little jalouse:
we have blue sky and sunshine in Budapest.
I am backing the first christmas cakes for a charity basar (and am thinking of Paris, which of course I will always love, eaven with a month filled up with rain...!). Love Jutta
Paris looks beautiful, even on a gray and rainy day! Thank you for sharing the carousel - I wonder if it's the only one in the world, dedicated to an author and his imagined worlds...
I love the buckets of roses - yummy! We had a few rainy, blustery days ... but now, today is a respite from the bad weather, with sun and cool, calm air.

I tried posting first but after 4 attempts I gave up ... I loved the roses, such a gift on a wet day in Paris.
