Pink over pink
Back from a walk in Montsouris park which played and still plays a prominent role in my parisian life.

Thousand and thousand years
Would not suffice
To tell the little second of eternity
Where you kissed me
Where I kissed you
A morning in the winter light
In park Montsouris in Paris
In Paris
On earth
The earth which is a star


Des milliers et des milliers d’années
Ne sauraient suffire
Pour dire la petite seconde d’éternité
Où tu m’as embrassé
Où je t’ai embrassée
Un matin dans la lumière de l’hiver
Au parc Montsouris à Paris
À Paris
Sur la terre
La terre qui est un astre. »
Jacques Prévert

My funny good birthday

We came back at 3 am from the New Year party. So hubby slept very late and I spent a big part of the day alone painting, walking in Paris, taking photos, thinking of my projects for 2013. 

All kids are away. No birthday party planned. I've received lovely wishes by phone, mail and sms and many on google+.

I'll be eating in a brasserie with my oh this evening.

Haiku, the lying lake, le lac menteur
I wish you a true golden day

Gleaming of the gold
Of a glorious aurora
The lake tells his lies

Rutilant de l'or
D'une glorieuse aurore, le lac
Dit ses beaux mensonges

A repost but on such a subject I had to show Geneva's lake and I am in Paris at the moment.

Haiku, Paris flesh, I wish you a great Tuesday

And men's history
is written in town's flesh
With blue, white, red ink

Et l'histoire des hommes
s'écrit dans la chair des murs
A l'encre bleu, blanc, rouge

Paris is a town with a long history, including Bastille day! And do I have to go on painting?

I wish you a great Monday

This is Boulevart Pereire, Paris, 17. A good part of that Haussmannian Boulevard has been transformed in a planted promenade.

One of my friend lives at one end of the garden. When I go and see him, I manage to have a nice walk.

In parc Montsouris, in Paris, on earth... and looking at the sky

The first words are extracted from a poem of Jacques Prevert.
I live in Paris near Parc Montsouris and I love it.

Sister and brother, but maybe it shows...

The second of my pair of daughters and the first of my pair of sons.

The resemblance would be greater if she did not pluck her eyebrows and if she had accepted to smile less widely...

With this little Parisian piaf perched in a statue I wish you a Sunday full of joy
Yes a piaf, that was the affectionate name for sparrows in French. Hence the name of  *Edith Piaf because she looked like one.*
She sang so well that she stole the nickname of the birds. Nobody calls them like that any more.
Once my father who liked women to be well dressed told one of our friends who was wearing an unflattering attire : You look like Edith Piaf. At that time, the singer was at the end of her life and her look was terrible. When asked why he had be so extreme in his appreciation, he answered with a mild smile I wanted to be sure, she would never wear that dress again.
Our friend looked far more like the original piaf than like Edith....but my father   was - I must admit it - despite my unconditional love of him, a bit of a male chauvinist and women's looks were, in his opinion, fundamental....

And so, what other soundtrack for a sentimental Sunday morning that :
Edith Piaf - La Vie En Rose

I wish you a morning en rose

Yes, les Champs-Elysées

I had a few minutes to kill yesterday evening before a mash-up meetup about transmedia. Yes, from times to times, I indulge in geeky intelectualism...

I forgot the soundtrack : Joe dassin - Les Champs Élysées
