Chris' day off at D'Orsay

This is Jane's favorite musee, and I certainly see why. As we walked around to see the various paintings, it struck me that each of these pictures was a snapshot of the lives of these people, just going about their daily lives. The ordinary events that make up our days (except of course the last picture - it is not often we encounter a crocodile that we need to fight to protect our women and children!). So now as I look around during the day, walking around Paris, sitting and drinking espresso and cafe grand creme at the brasseries, tasting the cheeses to decide which ones to buy, smelling the flowers, feeding the sparrows in the Jardin Luxemburg, waiting for the metro, listening to the musicians on the street, seeing the homeless sleeping on the sidewalk ..... as they say in France, "C'est la vie".
