My Day in Paris
These are a few of my photos that didn't make the cut for main part of the blog, but are part of (a first for me) the embedded slideshow.

Fontaines et vendeurs de rue; ruelles et les boulevards
were on a holiday with our own Trusty Elf. 
Then I went to your blog about Paris - and read your words and story - and thoroughly enjoy your humor, your photographs, the tales, and the analogies. You had fun, and as a result of that, so did I.
I had not gone to the blogs until now knowing full well I need to visit when I have the time to get lost in them - time wise. So the rest is still in abeyance. But you are teaching me with yours what is possible.
But it just made more sense for me to have one. I am less into individual photographs than a series of them telling a story. It makes more sense telling a story in a blog than here. Plus I get to learn a few technical things as well. In the process of embedding the slideshow my Flash stopped working on Internet Explorer. It has been nonexistent on my Firefox for awhile. it took me two hours to figure out how to get Flash to work. I'm sure that is good for my brain. 
I love minor tourist attractions and don't really like major ones that much. It seemed very self indulgent and fun to do what I did last Saturday. Generally my camera and taking photos is an afterthought to whatever else I am doing at the time (taking a walk to get exercise, accompanying my husband on the boat, etc.).
By the way, the winery outside of Paris is absolutely awesome. It is like Sonoma County wineries were thirty years ago when I first went. The last time I went there, the Sonoma County wineries seemed to cross over the line from minor tourist attraction to rat race! Sad. I'd rather go to the Paris winery.
