Jardin des Tuileries in autumn

It doesn't matter how many times I wander through the Jardin des Tuileries, it always delivers a moment to remember.

On this visit during late autumn with afternoon light dappling on the season's last foliage, I found myself running happily after my five-year-old daughter as she danced with glee toward the trampolines. We discovered these trampolines for kids last year and she is always delighted to return.

I was enthralled with the stunning blue sky and the light along rue de Rivoli.  She is used to stopping for photographs, especially knowing her reward will be a carrousel ride, the kids' park, and the trampolines.

I love seeing the two pairs of people walking in lockstep with each other.

Sometimes I am amazed at how timeless this city can be no matter how much time I spend here.

Technical Details: iPhone 4, Hipstamatic App, John S Lens, Ina's 1969 Film, no post production.
