Beauty Queen In Dowtown Angers

I frequently go to Angers, a nice mid-sized city to the west of Paris, France. Most of my in-laws live in its vicinity. Walking downtown is enjoyable and, if one is wise enough to avoid the shopping areas, relaxing. I met the beauty queen below during one my walks.

While I walked many times on the street where she "lives", I had never noticed her before since I don't usually look upward at the buildings and houses that surround my walking path. Which is kind of a shame. One should really take their time to look everywhere, particularly in places that are supposed to be familiar. Beauty may lie anywhere.

That day, I was waiting for my wife to get out of a small shop. On the other side of the street where I was standing, there was a very nice flower shop and my eyes were attracted by the building where it is located. Looking a bit more into details, I spotted the beauty queen and I was really delighted by her sight.

I took some other shots that you may want to see. They were taken using a Panasonic DMC-FX150 compact camera in program mode. Some pictures were "cropped". Otherwise, no software change has been made.
