pic of the day for wednesday, 03-31-10

trianon palace, versailles, france, 01-02-10

did anyone notice that i neglected to submit a pic of the day yesterday?  i think i need to change the name to "pic of the every other day or so", but this invites laxity into my realm & a valid rationalization of it after the fact!  my young whipper snapper of a sister pointed out that the pic of the day could be any day, just not every day & that i should take a moment to add the following disclaimer:  i am consistently inconsistent!!!  and there you have it... i'm letting myself off the hook & wiping my hands of the situation, lol! 

but really, all tee hee heeing aside, i had a headache the size of ummm, i don't know, imagine something really big here, & after struggling thru a few folders in the vault, i decided to bag it & focus my energies towards breaking in my new pillow, lol!

as for the shot above, i just like the contrasts in it!  i usually find more beauty in simplicity than in anything else, & this photo is an example of one of those occasions :) :) :)  if my eyeslids weren't protesting my desires to keep them open, i would take a moment to ramble on about my definition of beauty, but i'm gonna throw in the towel & get some shut eye.  tomorrow's another exciting 11 hour day, & i have to conserve my energy to prepare for the big excitement involved in riding my 2 buses (each way) to the industrial area where i attend my french courses, in a graffiti riddled & shamefully dirty building.  france spares no expense for it's immigrants, as you will learn in another blog, somewhere down the road...

nighty night :) :) :)
