Colourful

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:)

Hi Kel, yes Lucy and I made a plan to meet up there, although I wasn’t there for a full week, so Lucy had time to herself as well (which I’m sure came as a relief to her!). What a pity we weren’t all there at the same time, that would have been great!

Yes, I’m hoping to go over again in Spring next year.
