It's hard to watch a sunset and remember it's the Earth that is spinning. From all outward appearances, it is the sun that is falling from the sky. We sit and watch the sun drop below the horizon and figure that someone in Australia is watching the sun come up. Later, their sunset turns into our sunrise.
On our whirlwind tour of France, we whirled past the Arc de Triomphe. We actually stopped for a few minutes, but just long enough to say we stopped there. A symbol of the French nation, it links old and new Paris, standing on the highest point of the line running from the Louvre to the newer Grande Arche de la Défense.
Just a short hop from the Garden Angel and the Blue Frog on a Post, sit these two frogs under an umbrella. One seems interested, while one is playing hard to get. I'll let you be the judge as to who that represents. I'm not sure what the umbrella is for, since these two should be hoping for rain. Maybe it's to keep the sun down while they wait for the drops to fall.
