Cimetière de Passy

Judging by the vines growing over the door
of this crypt in the Passy Cemetery,
 in Paris, I'm going to say that it hasn't
been opened in a very long time.

and Macro Monday.]

The Weekend in Black and White

I love the simplicity of this Paris
lantern, and the way the vines mimic
the shape of the embellishment.

ABC Wednesday—V is for "vines"

Right now Paris is covered in colorful
vines.  This building in the Marais
was just dripping with them.

Les jaunes douces de lundi (monday mellow yellows)

In Paris lately, I just couldn't stop myself
 from snapping every vine I saw.  This one came
with a little bonus, and I knew I would use it here.

In St. Germain des Prés

The sky really was this (non) color for much
of the time I was in Paris this month.
The good news? That hardly ever meant rain.

ABC Wednesday—V is for "vines"

Not sure what the main vine is—wisteria, maybe?
But I'm impressed with the bougainvillea
blooming in October.  This garden is in the Andes, 
where it was warm during the day but the temp 
dropped down to near freezing at night.

abc wednesday —V is for "vines"

The a-mazing, over-the-top green ones are both in Rome.
As for the other two, one is in Paris, the other right here in
my Brooklyn neighborhood—can you tell which is which?
