A Day in the Park


After a short day at the Louvre in Paris, we ended up at Les Tuileries. We would have stayed longer at the museum, but my son was not interested in any of it. We saw a few things and traumatized him as little as possible before moving on to the next thing. He was only four at the time, so I guess it shouldn’t have surprised us too much. Anyway, after all the art gazing, we were off to Les Tuileries which is a park in Paris that has a well known place to sail boats. Before we got to the boats, there was this walkway that was just amazing. I was taking pictures as we went. We just happened across this since we thought we'd be at the museum most of the day. My daughter just happened to be wearing blue that day when I was talking these pictures. I have this picture hanging in my office. Often my coworkers don’t realize that it’s my daughter in the picture at first because it seems more staged since she’s matching her surrounding so well. I love the colors in the walk way. The contrast makes for a dramatic effect in the picture. After the enjoying the scenery for awhile, we went off to sail boats which the kids really enjoyed.

This is one of my favorite pictures. We were out for a drive and I made my husband pull over to see what I could get. I've given this picture away as a gift and quite often they'll tell me that it's neat that I left the fence in color and made the rest black and white. This picture is in full color. The fog of the day and the soft covering of snow creates the effect all on it's own.
