Chez Madame

This is where I'm living. If you count six balconies up on the corner, that's me!

Neighbors

This is the building I look at eat day as I eat my toast in the morning. I've become familiar with several of the people across the way - like the guy who sleeps naked, the lady who feeds the birds and the couple who smokes together first thing in the morning.

Garden

This is the view from Madame's balcony. She overlooks a beautiful garden that's a joy to sit in during the summer.
