November 19th a year ago our family was dashing off to Paris. We had been collecting frequent flyer points for years and we were setting off to see our daughter, Lillian, who was studying in Paris.

| So grab a latte and a croissant, chocolate of course, |
 |
| and enjoy a quick stroll through the streets of Paris and feast your eyes on some of what this beautiful city has to offer in autumn. |
 |
| Notre Dame |
 |
Love this gorgeous piece of architecture leaning against the wall in the "backyard"
of the Notre Dame Cathedral.
|
 |
Place de la Concorde under a threatening sky, which produced snow flurries a bit later in the day!! To us southerns snow flurries in
Paris just made the day more magical.
 |
 |
| Before heading into Musee Orangerie, I got this shot of Lillian in front of a lovely bookshop. |
 |
And then a little stroll into Musee-Orangerie for a burst of fabulous art....
Of course, this is the museum displaying Monet's humongous water lilies but I just love the look on this woman's face. Check out the eyebrows, the posture...ahhh.

| With warmer temperatures a trip to the farmers' market to shop for some lovely vegetables, etc for our dinner. Obviously, I am always attracted to the flowers and the vegetables piled high look like works of art...they take my breath away. hyyc 2010 |

| Musee Rodin hyyc 2010 This is my most favorite museum in the entire world. Well, my view is probably limited but it is my favorite thus far. I believe the sculptures, the gardens and the architecture are perfect..in fall or summer. |
