Paris in Springtime

Paula’s black and white Sunday this week is delicate. Now my selected image may not conjure up fine craftsmanship or intricate textures, but I am aiming for a sense of elegance and grace with these lovely trees providing an intimate framework for the pleasures of Parisians enjoying the spring air.

Lovers sitting on a bench, a child playing, families strolling through le Jardin des Plantes, the main botanical garden in France which lies in the 5th arrondissement of Paris on the left bank of the Seine. This photo reminds me of the sort of picture we used to study at school during our French lessons in order to learn the vocabulary and practice speaking. So many details to find.

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

  1. Very nice, Jude, and very French. The smart Boulevardiers strolling; no cycles, scooters, skateboards, or other distractions. The B+W gives it a nice documentary feel too.

  5. Wonderful, everything about Paris is dainty. I love it. What a joy to see you take part again 🙂

    1. Looks better in B&W than colour I think. The people look as though this could have been taken decades ago.

  8. One of the things I enjoy about black and white photos is the differences is clothing and style. In time this image will become more interesting as it ages. Since so many people select color images, black and whites should be even more appreciated.
