Ah, la naturaleza

Jardin des Plantes
It is mid morning and I am sitting on a bench at the Jardin des Plantes. The Jardin is a botanical garden with sections of plants from different areas of the world. The sun is playfully sneaking out from between clouds and then being filtered by the leaves of the trees around me. Sweet and soft unidentified scents waif through the air teasing me to explore one way or another and children run by in occasional groups on their way to the Zoo or the Muséum National d’Historie Naturelle. The flavor of the two nectarines I had for breakfast lingers in my palette and I have plenty of time to sit, breathe, read and write. Life on vacation is good.
