Fall Palette

On a day that was otherwise rather gloomy and gray, Paris and her surroundings saw fit to share with me some of her beautiful colors.  At breakfast, the skies in our quartier were striped with pink.  And that old sailor's adage, "red sky in morning, sailors take warning" was not far off the mark.

And then midday in the forest of Rambouillet, I saw this graceful counterplay of orange and green.
