The quiet..the place ..required nothing else, just to be there. My heart was breaking watching the fires but I refuse to imagine that it will be scarred maybe but still standing for a long long time.

I had no idea that beehives were placed in "strategic" locations in Paris to improve biodiversity.<br /><br />Near my place in Paris, on avenue de Breteuil, I noticed, in recent years, various kinds of flowers and even tomato plants were planted in the little squares of soil at the foot of towering plane trees. That an excellent initiative. These plantations seem even to be respected by local people! There's a beginning to everything!chmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765675930520613520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-44285716771154252832019-04-19T11:14:21.143+02:002019-04-19T11:14:21.143+02:00Thank you, that was very interesting and upbeat.Thank you, that was very interesting and upbeat.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-89866458729299705402019-04-19T06:57:38.926+02:002019-04-19T06:57:38.926+02:00Wonderful photos!
