Street Performer in Toulouse

I am constantly taking these photos. These street performers are everywhere, but I never fail to be amazed by their grace and athleticism. But, bravo Lynn, how often do I get arm, face and butt all in focus? I wish it were the start of a trend but truthfully, probably not.

I am getting hooked on my iPhone camera. Seriously, it's my little secret. I took this through the entry window at a building on the Avenue de la Bourdonnais, not far from the Champ de Mars.

Well, okay, it's not your typical picture of Paris. And right across the street is the wildly photogenic Pagoda theater, so what is up here? Actually, not much. I just liked it. Somehow I like the image of autumn and the repeating pattern of the leaves and all. Sometimes that's all it takes for me.

4th of July, El Cerrito

How strange it feels to be in the States for the Fourth of July. Here is a little girl at the local park festival.

Paris

I hope you all have an endless appetite for photos of the Eiffel Tower. I took this one tonight through the peace monument, at the opposite end of the Champs de Mars. As you can see from the broken safety glass, peace doesn't stand much of a chance these days. I have become interested in the camera in my iPhone. I find that its limitations can be used to create photos that I just would not take with my much fancier Nikon.

Add I am in Paris, so of course I am thinking of the States. I took this photo about a year ago, when Robert and I were visiting our friends Mike and Pearl. I like the patterns and colors. It is difficult to think of this as a battlefield; it just defies the imagination.

El Cerrito

Yes, it's true. I do occasionally pull out the camera at home. Right now I'm getting ready to take Tracy's boys to Cooperstown Baseball Camp. That means pictures, and plenty of them. What better way to practice than on the local Little League?
