Nice Noël 24 (Weekend Street/Reflections # 204)

Nice, France

Place Massena in Nice is very festive this time of year. I wanted to take a picture of the Ferris wheel and the Noël Nice 24 sign, but I was too close to capture them in the frame. Instead of walking across the street, I decided to wait for a tram to go by so I could capture their reflections in the window.

                                                Merry Christmas!

Vive le Vent (Weekend Street/Reflections # 203)


 Dijon, France

There was only a slight breeze when I took this picture, but it reminded me of something that happened a long time ago. On a very windy day when I was 4 or 5 years old my mother took me to see Santa Claus at Fashion Island (a local shopping mall). Afterward, as we walked to the car, a gust of wind knocked a huge Christmas ball off the side of a building and it started rolling quickly toward us. We were holding hands but I broke free and ran and hid behind a parked car. My mother wasn't so lucky. I watched as the ball chased her through the parking lot. She was very upset but thankfully uninjured. Strangely it didn't scare me at the time and afterward I thought it was funny. It took my mother a lot more time to find the humor in it. 😄

                                     Have a great weekend!
