Remember how excited you used to get when you were a kid when you found out school was closed because of the snow? Well this week's posts will run a close second to having a snow day. In fact it's Paris Snow Week and I will be posting glorious photos of Paris in the snow all week.
It started last month with the photos in the garden of the Rodin Museum. It snowed three or four times after that and I trudged in the snow each time to various parks and gardens where I thought the snow would show up most brilliantly.
Today it's the Tuileries and I think these are the best photos of the series. It's hard to describe the beauty and the serenity of the Tuleries as I was walking through it struggling with my umbrella while trying to shoot the photos without getting my camera wet. Enjoy my trek of the snowy Tuileries!
Prints of all of these photos are for sale. They will be sized at 11"by 14" with a 1 inch white border and printed on Fuji crystal Archive metallic paper with a rich satin gloss finish and are unsigned and unframed.

It was a brilliant idea to "see" Paris in the snow.
I particular love the animal statue with the snow somehow softening its prowl.
The porcelains are lovely of course.
And I especially appreciated these photos now as I had been walking the Tuileries the last two mornings and Isaw at least two or three remarkable sights: one was the trees creating a pathway with a reddish and even autumn yellow glow-outstanding.

Stunning! Wonderful! These should sell like the proverbial hotcake. I especially love that first one with the lone chair.
