Stealing the Flowers

During our walk through Jardin de Tuileries' we all admired the beautiful spring flowers. Jean spoke to a gardener to congratulate him on his efforts. When Robert came along, he admired the beautiful iris so he produced a perfect stem that must have been broken off and gave it to him to present to the beautiful lady.

Being in a dilemma, he recounted the story and gave the flower to Gail. She agreed that must have been the gardener's intention.

A little later we sat on a seat to rest and as each Parisian walked by, they gave Gail a filthy look...... Obviously they take a dim view of the tourists stealing the flowers!

Shortly after, we placed the iris on one of the sculptures in the garden.... a modern bronze of a beautiful lady.

I always knew you were a bad seed.

I nearly spat my lunch all over the monitor as I laughed at that story. At least getting an iris might make up for missing the waterlillies.

We are still avoiding the gendarmes.
