Un été français

This is a wonderful time of year to dream about summer. Before it gets really hot... So from the vantage point of Spring, I thought it would be fun to visit a French été through the work of Paris photographer, Yann Pendaries of PhotographyDream. 

welcome to Paris!

First stop, La Tour Eiffel 

looks nice from this angle too...

Visit Yann's shop here, there's lots more to see!

Yay! It's May!

It's May! Is it too much to hope that we've seen the last of the snow flurries? I say yes! 

And I'm celebrating!
