somewhere in Paris

This almost never happens: to spot a
beautiful, colorful, photogenic
door—without a car parked right in
front of it.

foodie street

This is rue Paul Bert, where you find the
famous bistrot.  I've never been there,
but I was passing by here on my way to one
of my fave Paris restaurants, where I'm
always the lone American among the (friendly)
locals—and I like it that way.

a special street

It's in Paris, near the Place de la Bastille—and filled
with colorful houses, some with trompe-l'oeil effects.
I was taken there by my dear friend Genie,
who does the great Paris blog Paris and Beyond.
Merci, Genie!

As you probably guessed, the kitty
 has a victim in his sights—and
in my version of the story, the little
bird gets away every time.
