Of All the Things...


I am in Paris, France with my mom and my great Aunt Jane (it is a girls weekend). We have been looking at beautiful architecture all day...enjoying places like the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral. After going through all my pictures from today, I was expecting to give you this awe inspiring glimpse into this city by snapping a piece of history. I have been here several times now and I think that I am starting to notice and appreciate the things that aren't so obvious. Does that make sense? And of all the things to be moved by, it was this tree next to the River Seine. I liked the large knots in the roots. I liked the texture of the bark, and the way it was hanging over the river so peacefully offering shade away from the sun...it just was very inviting.

I find it ironic that you and your mom and Jane were there just a day after we left! Too bad we couldn't have overlapped for just an hour or two!
