Pleased to Introduce Willa Pink Saturday

 

This Pink Saturday, please meet the very pretty in pink, Willa

I was on my way to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Friday morning when I met Miss Willa. I stepped off the bus and there was this adorable vision in pink. My intention was take photographs at the Museum for Pink Saturday -- and I did -- but I knew Willa was the perfect Pink Saturday photograph for this week or any week. 

My first stop at the Metropolitan Museum was the Temple of Dendur. The woman in pink caught my eye as I walked through this area of the museum. 

I didn't have an agenda for this visit. I've been to the museum more times than I can count and it's one of my favorite places anywhere. I also have a few galleries that  I visit often and I decided I'd spend time in those galleries. 

I had Degas' beautiful little ballerina and much of the Impressionist galleries all to myself. 

After my visit to the Temple of Dendur and a visit to the American wing -- including a cup of coffee in the reopened and now socially distant cafe -- I made my way to the Impressionist galleries to visit old friends.    

One of my favorite Monet paintings at the far end of the galleries.  

It was a wonderful reunion with Monet, Degas, Renoir and Van Gogh and so many other friends. I was at the seaside, in Paris and in gardens throughout France. I might not be getting to Paris very soon, but, nonetheless, I enjoyed Paris much closer to home. I took a lot of pictures during this visit, so I can share my adventures with all of Buttercupland in posts to come. 

Thanks for all of the suggestions for the A to Z Challenge. The ideas are great and I'm going to incorporate some of the suggestions into my topic. I'll be doing a formal A to Z reveal later in the week and I think you'll enjoy my choice. 

I had a relatively quiet weekend, but one of my activities was watching a live video event with one of my favorite mystery authors, Cara Black. Her mysteries take place in Paris -- yes, I've got Paris on my mind -- and her newest book, Three Hours In Paris, looks terrific. She read the first chapter and I enjoyed it a lot. It was almost, almost as though I was attending a book reading again. For more information about Cara Black and Three Hours in Paris, I'm attaching my post from Coffee Light and Mysteries Noir.    

As ever, thanks for visiting and take care. Colorado friends, stay safe!
