Time to Vote!!
Good Sunday morning!
It’s been so much fun for us again this year to focus on a photography theme. We’ve done this for five years now including the original cafe chair contest, as well as doors, lovers, light, and most unusual shot of the day.
It’s time to select your favorite cafe chairs (vote for 3) and your favorite dog in the cafes (vote for only 1). I have numbered all the contenders and you have until Wednesday morning to place your votes. (The numbers are below each photo.) I will send out the winners in Thursday’s post. Please title your vote as Chairs and Dogs. Thanks so much for participating.
You can vote several ways:
—by commenting at the bottom of the post
—by emailing me at lindaspalla1@gmail.com
—by using Messenger on Facebook or just commenting at the bottom of the FB post.
Let’s see how many will join the fun!
Merci,
L & B

Cafe chairs: very hard to pick three!! Thought you’d include the ones at Momartre that straddle the curb. But many good options. 🤔
Dog: I know especially with the dogs, it’s almost more the whole picture than just the dog. For example one of the dogs is glancing up so expectantly hoping for a morsel. Most are on the ground but some have the privilege of their own seat at the table! Another obviously either a puppy or miniature dog that the young girls are holding onto- who doesn’t love a pup?! I guess you didn’t get the dog inside the mall; I thought that was pretty unique. Number four looks like it’s smiling! Fun fact, photo 1 has Bernie in the window and that bread 🥖 I miss so much!! I’m drawn to 9 for some reason but will let the boys decide.

So what exactly are your votes? I’m confused.

Too many to choose. But thanks for all the pictures.. I have to go to Paris soon, its been too long. And been too long to visit family in Brussels.. if I really had to choose the chairs, I love the more traditional ones. and probably 1 or 4 or 6 (. though 10 is pretty great too!) The dog is much easier… How can one not chose the Maltese, #10… precious!. When my mother would come to visit me in Paris, the one thing she kept loving was all the dogs allowed in the cafes. .. she would try to sit next to a table with a dog and then ask to pet! She loved seeing me, but missed my brother, the French poodle! But where are you in 12??? I’d love to see the swings next time I am in Paris! not sure if I want to eat while swinging though, looks a bit uncomfortable??? but what restaurant please!
safe home… and looking forward to next year’s adventures! ( tututu!!)

The swings are at a cafe on Blvd. Beaumarchais near the Chemin Vert subway stop.

Ugh and I spelled Montmartre wrong- oops!

Les chiens: # 4 second choice # 9.

Linda, thank you for another fabulous armchair adventure in beautiful Paris. Your stories and photos are so interesting and well done that it is like stepping out with the two of you each day!
September 20, 2022 @ 5:00 am
Thanks, Karin. How are you progressing after your difficulty? I have thought of you often because “at our age” (ugh) it’s harder to snap back. I’m glad we’ve been able to provide some pleasant diversion!

Chairs:
I simply cannot pick three. It took a lot to narrow from nine down to five. 1, 4, 5, 7, 14. I love that the yellow chair one has the attractive girl in the yellow dress sitting in it with all the crowds beyond her. Great photo composition in my opinion.
Will get back to you on the dog 😂
PS, this is an indecisive person‘s greatest challenge, lol!
September 20, 2022 @ 11:33 pm
#1 Chairs and #5 dog – he is mirroring the woman’s expression, love it! This is so much fun. Thank you!!
September 21, 2022 @ 5:26 am
Alright, sorry, you can use 1, 5 & 7 for chairs as my top three
For the dog: I’ll pick 9 🐕
