On the steps of the Notre Dame in Montmartre, this guy was flat out drunk with a bottle beside him. I wouldn't normally invade his privacy like this - it's the expression on the tourist's face that I find so striking.

Out behind the back of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, you find this wonderful building. I like the geometric lines and shapes in this photo.

Frog, Jardin des Plantes, Paris

Frog, originally uploaded by Debbie G.

As I strolled through the plantings of the Jardin des Plantes, I was surprised to hear loud and distinct croaking of frogs. To one side of the path was a small lily pond, in which there were probably dozens of healthy, happy frogs flopping around in the water and sitting on the pads croaking their little hearts out. This is one of them.
