jardin des tuileries, paris, france, 10-17-09
hello, hello, hello!!!
i know i'm consistently inconsistent with my pic of the day, but let me give you a glimpse into what goes down before i complete a post:
first, i excitedly start rummaging thru my online vault of digitally immortalized images. i get caught up in memories & the minutes turn to hours...
second, i once again realize that i have THOUSANDS of shots. this is about the time that i am subjected to an onslaught of panic as i try to narrow down my selections...
third, with a handful of potential candidates, i start my scrutinization of each photo. i continually find flaws & imperfections, & dismay slowly rears it's ugly head...
finally, i shut my wee computer in disgust, with intentions to tackle this overwhelming task mañana, mañana, mañana...
and there you have it. a look inside the roller coaster ride otherwise known as my brain!
but, i digress...as for the photo, i found this installation piece in the tuileries garden in paris. i randomly stumbled upon it after a day spent gorging on chocolates at the salon du chocolat, which is an entire trade show of, you guessed it: chocolates!!! for those of you who know me well, you certainly can imagine the heaven i was in as i sampled one after another of these sugary delicacies! they even had a cat walk for models to parade upon in gowns made of chocolate...ooh laa laa!!! haute chocolat couture!!! oh dear...i've managed to digress again...doh!
ok, ok...THE PHOTO. this bed was just floating aimlessly in a pond within the garden, without an explanation provided. i didn't feel i needed one, as my imagination is usually preferable to reality ;) as i'm writing this, however, i googled a search & have found a link for those of you who prefer to uncover the mystery: http://parishotelboutique.blogspot.com/2010/06/mystery-of-floating-bed.html i could have brightened up my shot a bit, but i rather enjoy this darker version of the fairy tale ;)
so, until we meet again, i'll just be skipping along in my little red hooded cloak as i follow this trail of breadcrumbs into the forest...
little miss sleeping beauty
