Spring is in the Air...Or is it Dust?

When the light spring winds blow through the Tuileries gardens, it always looks like you hit the Arabian desert in the middle of a sandstorm.
The fine gravel dust covering most public park grounds in Paris gets lifted up and hits you in the face without you even noticing. Only later when you enter your favorite tearoom you'll notice that your clothes are a tad lighter in their overal color scheme and your shoes look like you played in a sand pit.

But everyone still loves to come down to the gardens and take a seat. Take a seat and stare at tourist groups or pick up a latte and read the morning news in the IHT. Oh, and don't let those pigeons disturb you, it's only mating season.

Oh yes, I remember that white dust.
We were going to the Ritz one afternoon for a drink and I had good black shoes on - thank goodness I had a tissue to wipe it off! LOL
Bonjour! Cedric,
All I can is...Wow!

But, there is one thing for sure..

Great shots. How much do you love that you can just move those seats anywhere you want!
wonderful photos, thanks for posting
I love this post.
OOh, brings me back to your fabulous city (miss it already...)
LOL! I've been covered in the Tuilleries dust several times. I now know better than to wear black in the Spring.
Great photos. We've sat in those green chairs and watched children sail their little boats in the fountain. Ah, Paris.
Where would you get a latte to go in Paris? Please don't tell me you went to Starbucks :(
