October 2017 Instagram Photos

Autumn is full bloom and many of the photos this month reflect the foliage in the parks, courtyards, and sides of buildings. The leaves and ivy are turning burning red, mustard and ochre and piling on the ground.

Fall fashion is also in full swing and I snapped a photo of a decadent pair of knee-high Saint Laurent boots studded with rhinestones.

I’ve been spending a lot of time outdoors in the warm summer weather doing tours all over Paris this month. The trees are all in their full green and summer flowers are in bloom.

It’s also the time of the year for a bounty of summer fruits and vegetables overflowing at the markets and food shops.

Enjoy July in Paris!
