Quotes (I) Henry Cartier-Bresson
Fellow blogger Cosme, from bCLPhotography, an awesome photographer from Barcelona, with a beautiful photography blog, nominated me for a challenge to post my three favorite quotes, one each for three consecutive days. With each post I must nominate three bloggers for the challenge. I have accepted this fun challenge and will start with a quote from the guru of all street photographers.
“The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.” ~ Henri Cartier-Bresson
The fleeting moment below was caught in Paris earlier this month, at the Jardin du Luxembourg. She wanted him to scratch her foot, he was saying “non, non…” 
I’d like to nominate the following bloggers for this challenge:
Tina Schell, from Travels and Trifles, who delights us with beautiful photography and wonderful quotes on every one of her posts.
Cee Neuner, from Cee’s Photography Blog, a masterful photographer and a lover of challenges. She hosts some four of five fun weekly challenges on her blog.
Susan Judd, from Words Visual, who is both a photographer and a poet. I figure she might enjoy the quotes challenge!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Off-Season – 365/Day 163
When people think about Los Angeles, they usually think of sunny days, blue skies, warm and pleasant weather all year long. What they don’t know is that May and June can be pretty gloomy in L.A. due to a phenomenon called “Marine Layer,” a dense mass of cool, moist air that accumulates over the surface of the ocean, causing that morning, and sometimes afternoon, fog that plagues many areas of Southern California. The phenomenon happens when the air close to the ground is colder, rather than warmer, while warm air above presses down on it, preventing it from dissipating. It usually starts in May (“May gray”), increases in June (the infamous “June gloom”), and sometimes sticks around in July (“no-sky July”). It’s a strange phenomenon that makes days look and feel like it’s winter or fall. Most of the time the sun comes out later in the day, but this week it has been losing the battle and it looks like winter around here, when it’s practically summer! That is definitely off-season, no? Here’s a taste of June gloom…

Tender Moment~~
There they sat staring at the ocean, oblivious to the world around them. Her head leaning on his shoulder as he gently stroked her hair. I was moved and confused. Was that a happy moment? A sad one? Were they grieving, or just enjoying a quiet afternoon at the park? I couldn’t figure out and couldn’t stop myself from capturing that beautiful tender moment, whatever it might have meant…

Leaving Lyon to Paris (late posting for June 1 – Day 152 of 365 Project)~~
We left Lyon in the morning of June 1 and headed by train to Paris for a final half-day in the city. This post shows some of the countryside between Lyon and Paris and some of our afternoon meanderings in Paris. We went back to the Left Bank for a walk around the Jardin du Luxembourg and the Latin Quarter.
