walk with me

In the morning, around 8:15 am, when I leave the flat to go to the show


I walk through the courtyard

and through the porte

out onto the street. Friday was a beautiful morning, just after an early rain, cold but the light was so nice.


Sometimes there's a lot of traffic

and then suddenly there's none.

This is just across from where I step down into the metro into the Jussieu station.



And this is where I come up, at Palais Royale, just across from the Louvre. Every day I pass the Louvre, but can't go in...

and on my walk, I turn and look up the rue St. Honore but then turn left


past the news agent


around the bend and cross the street

past the beautiful glass metro entrance on the other side of the street

past grand cafes

and more newsstands




and then I turn the corner past the Louvre and onto rue de Richelieu--the sky was so gorgeous that morning...



through the colonnades of the Comedie Francaise



a narrow street with little cars in heavy traffic
every day I pass Moliere


and I always look down (just in case---there are a lot of little dogs)

and up




past little cafes and the boulangerie and the fruit stand

and
my favorite street on my path, rue des petit champs



and when I get to the pretty little park

and the tabac


I'm there.
And then I spend the next 9.5 hours inside hoping buyers will come and like what I've done.

Friday after work was finished, I walked across the Seine with some friends from the show:

through the courtyard of the Louvre.

Lovely old and new friends : Juliana, a clothing designer from OnA, Mouschka from Amouschka, Carolina & Jean from Mi Purocorazon, and Nico from Joya Amarillos, all so talented and so much fun to be with.






a walk across the bridge from rive droit to rive gauche...



and later past Notre Dame

and home again...
