ode to Ben

Oh la la!  Is there anything more Parisian

than a lightning storm?

All our mademoiselle needs is a beret

and possibly a bit of sense!

I've always loved this 1899 photo of the Eiffel Tower

being struck of lightning.  I embellished it a bit.

This darling Scandinavian Victorian girl

had a lovely French look to her.

And, when I think lightning storms,

I often think of dear ol Ben Franklin 

with his kite in the storm!

Paris Stroll - 3Muse Umbrella Challenge

Maybe my Victorian Kitty Girl isn't actually in Paris.

Maybe she is actually sashaying down the street in a photo I took in New Orleans.

Certainly, it all seems to have a Parisian feel.

The challenge this week at Three Muses was a Rain / Umbrella challenge.

My Victorian Kitty Girl might actually be carrying a parasol to keep the sun from bronzing her perfect lily white complexion, but in New Orleans, an afternoon storm is just a few hours or minutes away!
