APRIL IN PARIS, 2019 1

Dear loyal followers & everyone who happens upon this Blog:

Even though I am so sporadic with my postings I do hope that you will forgive me & NOT GIVE UP on "SHARE ART"! The post today is part one of "APRIL IN PARIS, 2019".
  I so hope that you will find it was worth the wait.  Please let me know in the COMMENTS whether you enjoy it or not!
PARIS WILL ALWAYS BE PARIS FOR ME NO MATTER THE CHANGES!
Some of you may be aware that I lived in Paris for a few yrs. in the 80's.  "I (have) always returned "no matter how it was changed or with what difficulties, or ease, it could be reached. Paris was always worth it."! 

 You probably have seen some of the following quotes from Ernest Hemingway's 'A Moveable Feast':
"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast."
"There is never any ending to Paris and the memory of each person who has lived in it differs from that of any other. We always returned to it no matter who we were or how it was changed or with what difficulties, or ease, it could be reached. Paris was always worth it and you received return for whatever you brought to it. But this is how Paris was in the early days when we were very poor and very happy."
Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast
So "feast" on the following images from my recent "APRIL IN PARIS"! More to follow SOON, I promise! :-)
With love,
Rivian xoxo

THE ART OF PARIS-A VISUAL FEAST, PART ONE

Ernest Hemingway said that "Paris Is a Moveable Feast" It is is also a "Visual Feast"! Lucky me, I just returned from such a "FEAST" & I am going to share some with you! Hans, my Husband & I try to go to Paris every year and we have done so since 1990.  (I left in 1988 after having been fortunate enough to have lived in this beautiful place for two years)! If you do a search for Paris on this Blog. you will see some of my previous posts.
I hope that you enjoy the past photos & the ones on this post that express the love I have for the "City of Light"! All Photographs are by me unless titled by 
Hans Butikofer
I would appreciate any comments that you'd like to leave.
Warm Wishes,
 Rivian
