For this challenge, I submit the following photo of macarons on a sign at the entrance of a bakery in Paris:

Macarons

It is said that macarons have been around since the 8th century, and these days they seem to be everywhere in Paris. They are a light, crunchy type of biscuit filled with a soft and sweet middle of various kinds of jams, chocolates, and decadent things like foie gras! I had an almond crusted big one filled with slices of peach.

Following is my unofficial translation of the sign: “Macarons, the small pastries with a crunchy shell and a melting heart. For the season, the month, the mystery.”

abstract sculptures, Musée de la Sculpture en Plein Air, paris, photography, postaday

Arriving too late to visit Paris’ botanical garden (Jardin des Plantes), we went back to catch a Batobus (hop-on, hop-off boat). While waiting for it in the Tino Rossi garden on the bank of the Seine, I noticed two abstract sculptures of the Musée de la Sculpture en Plein Air. They looked striking even though most people hardly notice them as they walk or jog by.

This next one is a bronze with an intriguing name, Ochicagogo.

Last Wednesday, we were strolling along the Seine river in Paris when we saw three French soldiers patrolling the area. They took a brief moment to pose for a tourist. Their image below is my answer to this week’s Street Life Challlenge.
