This Parisienne d'un certain age was enjoying a beautiful early-spring day in the Jardins du Luxembourg. She had a great face and a chic outfit—but all I could think of was the tricoteuse in Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities.
Indeed, I do adore the elegance of her slightly off-centre, but perhaps quite long, legs. Knitting is not something I aspire to, being happier simply sitting and watching ... or stalking and shooting.
Oh i'm sitting here in awe. I fight feeling like I"ve missed a photograph. I know it's not sane but I do. I wish I'd been there with you to capture this beautiful image. V
This is an excellent shot! She really seems caught up in her work.

ReplyDeleteI would sit right beside her and whipped out my knitting too -- well, if I'd brought it! Can you think of a better venue to just knit and enjoy?
