    You brought me back to a time when I walked through those garden.  Thank you for those pictures and for a trip down memory lane.

    Thank you for taking me to the Jardin de Luxembourg this Sunday morning.  I feel as though I was there, and I didn’t even have to leave my chair!  Your photos are amazing!
