    Colourful

    By Tess | March 6, 2008

    A couple of weeks back I wrote, a little cryptically perhaps, of my regret for having not seized past opportunities and my determination to live a more colourful life from now on.

    I did just that in the trip Lucy and I took to Paris, and while probably the most colourful thing of all was meeting my online friend in real life, these were pretty good too:

    Pont du Neuf

    Blue skies
    Smilin’ at me
    Nothing but blue skies
    Do I see

    Metro

    Not le dernier metro

    Altar Sainte-Chapelle

    Plain and understated, n’est pas? (Sainte-Chapelle)

    Chocolat

    Chocolat. But where are Binoche and Depp?

    Strawberry Shoes

    Let me take you down… strawberry shoes forever.

    Monmartre

    Montmartre semble triste
    Et les lilas sont morts

    Eiffel at night

    Bonne nuit, et bon courage.

      I’m so jealous! I would love to have the opportunity to go to Paris and just hang for a few days. What a wonderful time you must have had.

      Tess, great post today. I went back to review your 6 word meme - a great resolution - more color. Although, I’ve never felt anything DRAB about what you share with us at AnchorMast!!!

      Thanks for the UTube video - the women make one definitely proud to be part of the female tribe:)
