A short history of the past week or so....

 This blimp was so low. If it had been like this in NY, it would've crashed into a building. Its a good thing Paris has one skyscraper.
 This is the little garden behind Notre Dame which surrounds a statue of Notre Dame. They planted these pansies in November, and they bloomed all winter.
 This is a bed that took over a month to repair. They completely removed it and the fence behind it (which is new) and then replaced all of it. (They added some drainage etc...) plus some rock piles.

 This is a knife from a restaurant that made so so steak au poivre, but I thought that it was made in France and was such a Johnny Appleseed logo.
 Rollerblade Parade II
 Rollerblade parade II. They had one about 6 months ago too.
 These trees only have branches on one side and are absolutely amazing.
 Beehive a la française on the promenade towards Jardin des plantes.
 Look at this root structure. These plants actually change their root systems when they are close to water to absorb it directly like drinking straws.
 The canopy inside the Jardin des plantes.
 Paris je t'aimes, anyone? This is actually a teahouse (not a mosque), behind a Mosque. and it is beautiful.
 This is just weird. Huey, Dewy and Louie. I wonder if Rhianna knows?
 Did he eat my baby?

 Canard a la fontaine.
 Notre Dame digitally lit in preparation for what is going to happen tonight! I can't wait. 23h.
Another digital lighting scheme with all of the figures painted. Is is gorgeous.
So this was a basic recap of things that stuck out to me, for their funniness or perhaps beauty. Spring has sprung in Paris, lunches have been had in the park, and the weather is overall much better. Thanks for the fun too this week Squire.
