Bon Anniversaire Eiffel Tower

Happy 126th Anniversary of the opening of

the Eiffel Tower today! 

Took these photos with my cell phone during our last visit.

So while not the best camera,

I love the colors. 

This is what it looked like when we emerged from

the Musee du Quai Branly 

after spending the afternoon there.

I had no idea about all the lights and colors

until we came out to this magic. 

And speaking of magic,

March is my birthday month

and a wonderful month it's been.

I got to spend a week at my writing retreat on the coast

with special favorite writing gals.

And last week, we spent a long weekend 

in Napa/Sonoma with friends 

for someone special's 80th birthday party. 

And as always happens in my birthday month,

my favorite season, Spring, arrived in full beauty and...magic. 

Happy Spring to you...

and I promise more Paris photos soon.
