Surprise: On-the-Streets-of-Paris

A promise is a promise. 

Edith is basking in the Corsican sun leaving me without our weekly collaboration. You are now looking at your surprise compromise.  (You can see to what lengths I'm willing to go to make you happy.)

The rain stopped, the sun came out and off I went, cards in one hand, camera in the other, smile in place and spiel ready to spill. Because the weather -- as reported yesterday -- was so unpredictable it was a bit of a challenge finding women who were not in raincoats or otherwise covered-up for the relatively chilly temperatures.

I absolutely couldn't resist the young woman in the red shoes. You may also realize by now I try to get at least one dog a week into the pictures.

While shopping in my favorite store, Monoprix, I saw two women who kindly agreed to walk the walk. I wanted to ask them to accompany me outside so they would be "on-the-street" in keeping with the theme, but thought I shouldn't push my luck. As it was they hid their purchases so we could see what they were wearing.
