It Must Be Summer

My turn to pick the subject for the art group monthly challenge.  Decided to go with "a shoe" as there's a tendency for us to paint flowers, landscapes, animals, veggies, etc.  Well they got more than a little clever with a glass slipper and a horseshoe to name a few.  Hmmm, now what to do?  After many ideas decided it must be summer and what better than a favorite flip-flop!  Mine are too shabby, but found this great picture and jazzed it up a bit.  I wonder if Dorothy needs any ruby-colored summer wear?

On Ice

Bonjour!

Just returned from a fabulous trip to Paris.  Truly extraordinary city, people, food, art and sights to see.  Already planning to return.  Great place to wander about, stop for a bite, and be a part of people from around the globe.  The Parisians we met were absolutely delightful - so forget those rumors you've heard!

On Ice - is in honor of Paris where they have small specialty shops including one for seafood.  I hope it reflects the freshness despite being on a warm sidewalk.  I think you have to know exactly where and when to be there as we only saw it once, but certain we dined from it all week.  The food was simple, but fabulous tasty combinations by both new and practiced chefs.

p.s. Enchanted by this unique chandelier in a small restaurant across from the Opera House. Notice the glass ballet shoes.
