Louvre in the Fall Paris

I am back in Chicago, catching up on work and editing photos. My first round of edits from October is complete, and I love some of the shots I took. Aside from a very rainy trip, I had some great images. I am working on a project and will use some of those and add them to The Print Shop. It was a beautiful trip and one of my favorite trips. There is something special about Paris in the fall that I love so much. I had some incredible meals that I plan on adding to The Paris Guide.

Henri is back by my side and is recovering from pneumonia. Sadly, he picked it up at boot camp. We caught it early, and I was home to pick him up from the vet. We are doing a lot of steam showers and snuggles.

  1. The steam showers really help. When Addie was a puppy she came down with a terrible respiratory illness that plagued her for her 14 yrs. If they recommend breathing treatments or an inhaler they are a tremendous help too. I’m betting Henri will not need those since he is young otherwise healthy, hang in there Ollie and I are thinking of you both.
    Wonderful post I so look forward to the Sunday post. Always full of such wonderful “stuff”. Be safe🌸
