I like the greenery against the rich looking bricks. It is summer finally. We are heading for a very warm weekend. Well, the warmest yet. Hope you have a wonderful long weekend.

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Le fond en brique ainsi cadré fait penser à une compo moderne à base de mosaïque, à laquelle vient s'ajouter un élément naturel. L'été est ici aussi depuis quelques jours, il nous est annoncé un beau WE, j'en profite pour aller faire un petit tour sur Paris. Alors je te dis à Lundi et bon WE à toi Lorraine.

It's not the summer green that attracted my eyes, but the way you cropped the windows (at least I assume they are WINDOWS on left and right, though.....is that on the left a mirror...again?) And the contrast of colours is also very pleasant...brick red - one of my favourites!

@Japanalia: Aren't they gorgeous? I tried so hard to get the full photo of the mirror? window? to the left (I'll have to check it out next time I'm there) unfortunately i was stuck in traffic at a light, I couldn't back up a bit, 'cause the person behind me wouldn't let me, and as started snapping at what I could, the light turned green and took another quick shot before the guy behind me honked LOL had to move...Thanks so much Gabriela ;)
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia

Nice contrast in forms and colours. I would never have seen what you've seen here, so I have to hand it to you!

@Andrew Gould: You want to bet, it was in my face during traffic, i was stopped smack next to it, you would have caught it lol but thanks for the compliment :)

JoeB from Brampton, Canada
It's a long way from winter, summer is here I'm going to get busy eating pizza. I think you were a little unhappy with Bell and it affected your typing skills. This comes with age you pull up your pants to below your chest or below the the belly depending on your shape, and then you blame everything on the "Corporations."
27 Jun 2008 12:32pm
@JoeB: Sounds accurate to me...so where's my slice ? ;)
MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
This is a wonderful 'stopped at red light' capture, Lorraine! I'm thinking you may have been on a narrow street to allow you to get this good angle. The light on the hibiscus and the greenery are lovely against the rich, red brick.
27 Jun 2008 1:39pm
@Judy: lol thanks a lot Judy, I have a great zoom ;)
@Daryl: Hey Daryl, thanks a lot :)
@laughingwolf: Thanks a lot!
