I Love The Flower Shops Of Paris
I wanted to post a vibrant shot of a Parisian flower shop (because it’s just so part of the city & part of its character) for The Photo of the Week, but then I couldn’t decide on just one picture. So you get several.
Back in November of 2012 I listed a few reasons why I love Paris in the cold. Click here for that post.
In this post I’ll show you one reason why I love Paris in the summer ~ The over flowing flower shops.
This was my favorite flower shop, by far. But the owner came out and shooed my away before I was able to get a picture of the full effect with the antique bicycles, tables, & ladder. But I think the one shot I got off does it some justice…
This is at a Parisian market – I simply loved the vibrancy of these flowers.
This next shot I simply adore…
And OK, this one is not exactly in Paris (It’s in the south of France) but I couldn’t resist including it. And if you look closely it’s also a self-portrait.
Hope this brightened up your day ~ Just going through these pictures put a huge smile on my face 🙂
tahira's shenanigans 
The one with the lilac shades is my favourite, Tahira, but they’re all a bit luscious. 🙂 (looking good, girl)
Thanks, Jo! And “luscious” is a terrific description! 🙂
Totally brightened my day! Why on earth would you get shooed away? But glad you caught that lovely shot anyway. I’d have a hard time picking a favorite.
I glad your day was brightened, Gunta! 🙂 And I have NO IDEA why I was shooed away – It was all in French with a lot of arm waving “madame, no no no”. But all turned out well, the more I look at that one shot the more I am pleased with it.
Ah flower shops…so beautiful and you have captured them perfectly 🙂 have a lovely weekend~ Lakshmi x
Thank you so much, Lakshmi. It’s totally my pleasure! 🙂
What colorful and inviting flower shops, Tahira. I love Paris!
Aaaaaahhh, Paris. Nothing else to say, eh Cathy 🙂
Why are flower shops so much more gorgeous when they’re in Paris? Absolutely beautiful and certainly put a smile on my face when I really needed it. Thanks Tahira, keep them coming. 🙂
Pam, why is everything better in Paris? And I’m happy to know they put a smile on your face! 🙂
Thanks for posting such bright and colourful pictures. Paris has so many lovely little places to take pictures of. And I am smiling now!
It’s my pleasure, Anna. And isn’t that the truth – Every time one turns a corner in Paris there is something new & lovely to feast one eyes on!
Wonderfull photos dear…..Orofiorentino
Thank you so much, Orofiorentino. That is very kind of you.
Absolutely lovely, Tahira. Can’t imagine why that shop owner wouldn’t want you to take a pic. 😕
Thanks, Sylvia. And You know…. sometimes those French are just so “moody” – But in the end that is precisely what I love about them AND their city 😉
Wonderful colour!
Thanks, Jennifer. Can you believe the pictures don’t even come close to doing the shops & the flowers justice?
Of course not, they rarely do!
Gosh Paris is a beautiful city 🙂 And the flowers are fantastic!
Rohan.
Thanks, Rohan. Paris is simply dreamy. Everything *they* say about it is true 🙂
Lovely post.Each picture has a different beauty.
Thank you, Jalal. I appreciate all your kind feedback.
You are the essence of blogging Tahira, when you like appeared on my latest image I thought oh! Where has Tahira been so I flicked across to your shenanigans and scrolled back to find my last visit was the excellent Edinburgh toy shop window. But that was only a month ago and I noted we had each posted about 4 times over that period. But at subtly different times – in summary no surprise I had missed your post, I prompt my visits from the reader – but anyway you always deliver some a quality post, lovely photos which interpret the subject supported by excellent insight – so if I bump in to you in another month then I know I eill have some great catch up posts to read….
Why thank you ever so much, Scott! I truly have been very lucky in the fact that I can even engage in these shenanigans – but what’s been even better is having you guys come along on them with me! And it’s funny, I too do “catch up” with my favorite blogs – With some I love coming by to see what’s been happening and with others to feast my eyes on some of the best photography (or when I’m feeling in need of a Scotland fix) 🙂
So I’ll look forward to the visit next month!
City of love and lovers is essential to have such beautiful flowers shops.My best regards Tahira.
It did brighten up my day…thank you
I see you too… the Rose among roses!! 😉
Truly beautiful!
