What a feast for the eyes. Patty, we are so lucky to have someone such as you, taking the trouble to share such amazing photographs as you do time and time again.
I adore the women shopping, so Parisian, so much fun. In fact I have too many favourites, the leaf is amazing as is the almost classical sculpture.
