This first set is from the street market on Sunday.  These guys were butchering chickens as fast as their knives would go…as one who watched my Dad do this, I was mightily impressed with their knife skills, particularly as they scraped and cleaned the inner parts.

While I waited for my roast chicken to be packaged these fellows cut up three chickens.

One more photo of the “brush” store, featuring walnuts!!

The set below were taken in the beautiful department store Galeries Lafayette…the ceiling and store decor are always just stunning.  Too bad there isn’t a big ball somewhere in Tucson where either of the two gowns pictured would be appropriate. Eye candy indeed.

And this last set is a group of photos I took around le Sénat in the Luxembourg Gardens and one photo of roses in my apartment.

An “allée” of plane trees in the Luxembourg Gardens

And Allée of trees in bloom

Fragrance all day long…

Courtyard view from the living room/dining room.
