"Stranger, beware
there's love in the air
under Paris skies..."
These are the words that romantically played in my mind as Paris unfolded before me. Would I fall in love with Paris in springtime?
I fell in love ! Who wouldn't...the gardens were all abloom and so I gave my heart willingly.
My photographs of Paris included many shots taken as we explored the streets and the Seine riverside on our own, without a guide. We passed some lovely public gardens which we didn't know the names of. Then there were the pretty flower shops with their roses on display outside the shops. These are my charming encounters with French gardens and flowers which my photographs serve to remind me of...

Paris in Springtime
Accidental
a series of accidents
one event leading to another
one word sparks an action
then reaction leads one on a tangent
life's best left to its own directions
for didn't it lead me here to you?
a gathering of momentum
in the absence of intention
devoid of planning or conscious contrivance
did i know we would meet in spring
in a place filled with new beginnings
stirring new and joyous feelings?
the air seems crispier than it should be
the atmosphere charged with electricity
the colours are brighter than they would be
in a place where I'm not destined to be
isn't this a time when it is perfect for me
to fall tumbling in love with you...
Paris; my enchanting, sentimental indulgence !

Beautiful images, place and poetry. You are incredibly creative and have such a good eye. I agree, who could not fall in love in a place like that. Thanks for adding a unique and expressive take on accidental.
ReplyDeleteOnce again I am just loving the tour of all the gardens that have linked in to my little party! I am so excited to visit each and every post...they are all so inspiring and I am NEVER disappointed! The creative gardens and colorful displays that I am lucky to see are inspirations that I would never have found had I not found each of the gardeners I see online! Thank you so much for sharing your garden with my Friday Flaunt this week...I do hope you will link in again soon!

Your garden tours are always a highlight for me! What beauty you share -- inspiring JOY in all who see it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The flower shops are a feast for the eyes, and no doubt the nose too!
ReplyDeleteRoses and Paris. A very romantic notion. One of my favorite perfumes smells of roses and is called 'Paris.'
ReplyDeleteHi Rosie, this is a different angle for accidental, and I love those flowers especially the incredibly big bunch of rose blooms. I haven't walk around Paris, just at the airport to Strasbourg. I've just seen the Eifel as a 2m tall structure on the plane window!
ReplyDeleteVery happy for you that you enjoyed Paris so much... flowers are so pretty... thank you for sharing...
ReplyDeleteWOW look at all that colour!
ReplyDeleteI especially love the irises. They're just wonderful.......and so many months away.....*sigh*

It's quite possible that I could really smell those roses!
ReplyDeleteI was in Paris in late December one year and it was still gorgeous, just in a different way. Love your pictures and really want to go back in the spring!
