PEPTO-BISMOL PINK
In contrast to my black and white moon of yesterday, here's a building the likes of which you won't see very often. Not sure if my reference to Pepto-Bismol pink will be understood, but Pepto-Bismol is an over-the-counter medicine that provides relief from over-eating.... And it's bright pink!

FULL CART(s)
This fellow caught my eye downtown yesterday. The sign beside him advertises a delivery service for food, be it from a restaurant or a grocery store.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY: the bored florist

Not many customers for this florist, but it was late...

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--LA SAMARITAINE, PARIS
Here's what the Internet says about La Samaritaine: "Founded in 1870, La Samaritaine is an icon of Paris, emblematic of the Second Empire's era and the emergence of this new architectural typology that would revolutionize retail: the department store. What started as a small shop expanded to a series of buildings occupying two urban blocks at one end of Pont Neuf. The architectural monument is the site of an interplay of Art Nouveau and Art Deco elements."
I actually did not go inside; I preferred to spend my time in Paris outdoors.

SKYWATCH--Le Mirbel
Le Mirbel cafe in Paris, which is also a 'tabac,' where one can still buy matches, lighters, cigarettes.....

DID SHE SEE ME; DID SHE CARE?
I always play innocent when I used my camera for such shots, pretending I'm checking something on the camera, and not looking directly ...
