Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Alyce at At Home with Books. To participate, post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken then leave a direct link to your post in the Mister Linky. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don’t post random photos that you find online.

This week, I was looking for some graphics files and came across a folder of photos from a trip I took to Paris back in 2005. This was a birthday trip, with a friend who was also celebrating a monumental birthday, her sister, and a couple of other friends. We had a wonderful week and I have a ton of wonderful pictures, but this first one is of the birthday brunch we put together with things from one of the lovely fresh-air markets:

Doesn’t that look tempting? Click on the photo to see a larger version were you can really drool over those tempting morsels.

One of the things I love about cities is the way that they have so many hidden spaces — little gardens, parks, walkways, places that you don’t see from the major paths through town. This is a little glimpse of a garden we fell in love with:

So, those are my photos for this last Saturday Snapshot of the year. I think for next year, I need to resolve to get my camera charged up and take more pictures!
