The most romantic RATP station of all!

Barbes Rochechouart with Sacré Coeur in the background.

At the L’orangerie museum today with my friend J. Always a must visit when you’re in Paris.

One of the things I have discovered in Paris is this jazz club on the petite Ceinture (an abandoned rail line that circles Paris) called Le Gare (the station) where they have free jazz at 10 pm 365 days a year.

Everyone is like “it’s so cool you’ll be in Paris for Fete de Musique” but what I’m really here for is

The moon and Venus last night over Montmartre

Montmartre by midnight. (Paris)

Luxor theatre by Barbès - Rochechouart. Went with friends to see the Christophers film. Very fun. Great views of the station and Sacre cœur from the cafe at the top.

On last night’s walk.

Pictures at an exhibition arranged for organ final movement Eglise Saint Eustache in Paris.

Went with my Paris friends to an art gallery opening of the work of Chuck Sperry - an incredible American printmaker now based in France - the exhibit was entitled Archetypes and it is really worth checking out. In the 4th Arrondissement (Le Marais) until mid August.

If anyone is in Paris and wants to home a kitten / young cat who is living in the bushes in Montmartre this is an amazing pet for someone. Very affectionate cat.

DJ Chat spinning tunes.😹

Some window cat of Paris! (Near Park Voges)

Went to the Theatre Champs Élysées with my Paris friend J. to hear Russian piano protege Alexandra Dovgan perform. This theater is renown as it is where Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring debuted in 1913, starting a riot. There was no riot tonight just great music by Mozart, Chopin, Franck, and Prokofiev!

Anonymous photo from 1970 of a bocce ball game, and a photo I took 50 years later of a bocce ball game in Paris.

View of new JR sculpture covering Pont Neuf from Pont des Arts over the Seine in Paris.

Amazing that there are only 20 known paintings by Leonardo da Vinci and five of them hang here in the Louvre - if you didn’t know you could just walk past them! (Mona Lisa hangs in a separate gallery…)

Why is the Mona Lisa smiling? I think it must be because she eternally stares at this cat in the painting across the gallery!

Visited the Louvre in Paris. Something is definitely amiss here! 😹

The real new mayor of Paris, watching over the city! 😹

Paris rainbow with pigeon!

Rainbow at the Paris blue sky meet up! 😻🌈

In Paris on Montmartre. Will be attending a blue sky meetup later today with @chrisinparis.bsky.social…hope to see my Paris Peeps! 😹

Chinese Festival of Lights, Philadelphia

Some window cat in Fox Chase, Northeast Philadelphia

Some window cat in South Philadelphia

Four Seasons of Philadelphia (not the hotel or landscape company)

What a difference a few months makes!

Met Stella the Temple University mascot. Interestingly why an owl? Because classes at temple in the 1800s were all at night at a local temple basement. Owls being up at night and all.

Maybe my next career I’ll be a news anchor…”next up there is a cat in the window at 8th and Christian streets…”

Met today with the legendary Mr Lam who opened the first Banh Mi restaurant in Philadelphia - Cafe Cuong. A former neighbor of mine it was extraordinary to see him again and chat about old times.

Stopped by my favorite street in Philadelphia today (Jessup by Pine). I love my country Philadelphia!

One of my favorite window cats crossed the rainbow bridge. Celine brought me much joy on my way to patco every morning. As she did to many others too. 😿

Philadelphia city hall today. Love those trees!

Easter at the Ukrainian Church.

What a difference a few months makes! (Alverthorpe Park by Philly)

Washington square west in Philly - I never saw that mural before!

At my grandmother’s house yesterday this cat I haven’t seen in over a year came waltzing over, into the open door and sat down above my grandfather’s favorite seat. He hung out for a half hour and just walked off. Maybe he’s a spirit! 😹

Some orange window cats of South Philadelphia

No Kings just cats with a surprise guest at the end 😸

Cats of Camden, NJ

A Philadelphia window cat sent to me from my Rutgers Philosophy colleague Craig Agule who lives in Queen Village. If it were not for the car in the reflection I would have thought this was hanging in the Louvre!

This year is the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the Ben Franklin Bridge, which I cross every day between work in Camden and home in Philly. It’s amazing they created infrastructure a century ago that stands the test of time and will be carrying future generations across the Delaware river!

Liberty one in Philly.
