Springtime Bums

Paris made me happy once again by taking the time to turn green and flowery while I was on spring break. What was a beautiful city is now a Gorgeous City. And I've started taking pictures of the bums. You can only take so many pictures of buildings before you realize that the people surrounding them are often twice as interesting.

Sunny day at Place des Vosges. The homeless guys were basking in the sun like everyone else in the park. A garbarge collector guy later removed all their empty wine bottles that were laying around.
On the steps of the Bastille Opera where the goth kids also like to hang out. For some reason most of the homeless people have dogs with them at all times. I think its their schtick. And some of the ever present pigeons at a market by the Bastille. I saw a book on pigeons and their place in history the other day. I don't know if it would be more or less interesting than the book I saw on the history of the cat. I love cats, but I once played a pigeon in a ballet...tough choice.
