The Weekend in Black and White

There are many, many carrousels (in French, manèges)
to be found all around Paris.  This is one of
the most charming, I think—the dodo manège, with
fanciful creatures to ride (a gorilla, an ostrich, a panda) as 
well as some that are extinct (a dodo, a triceratops). 
 It's located near the northeast corner of the Jardin des Plantes.

Thursday Challenge — "friends"

I just love this picture, and had to "borrow" it
from my daughter Lila (the long-suffering one
in yesterday's post).  These two put-together
Parisiennes of a certain age were strolling on
a Saturday afternoon in the Jardin des Plantes.
