Haiku – springtime in Paris

~

Springtime in Paris.

Blossom filled walks on the Seine

Keep spring in our steps

As we end our jaunt in Paris, I am grateful for sunshine and comfortable shoes! Such a beautiful city to explore and nourish the artistic soul 💛

p.s. “Legs up the wall” pose was also appreciated every night.

  13. There is a tiny bit of envy going on here. 🙂 I don’t walk as far or long as I used to so no envy there. Scotland sounds more up my ally. 😉 Enjoy, enjoy.
