On Monday, I posted a photo of the beginning of the walking trail at Jemison Park in Mountain Brook. Alice of Arradon, FR Daily Photo requested, "tout au bout". Since I am writing this in the evening, and all of my French blogging friends are fast asleep halfway around the globe, I am going to attempt to translate: at the end! Excusez moi if it's not quite right. When this post goes up, I will be snoozing, and they will be at their computers and will hopefully offer corrections if needed. Regardless, here's the lovely end of the trail. Not the Pont Neuf or the Seine, but a photogenic stone bridge with Shades Creek slowly running through it. So there you have it- a lovely and peaceful ending to a glorious autumn walk this morning!

You might want to stay a while and hear it to the end. You're welcome to you know!

Hi, Virginia!!

According to the rules I can now myself give this award to 5 other bloggers of my choice and you are one of them.
Please visit my blog and you will see your name among the 5 in question. Then it will be your turn to give the award yourself to 5 other bloggers of your choice, according to the rules you will find indicated there!
Tranquility with arches - another timeless scene. Well done AGAIN, V. Also very cool about Blognotes award!
"Il suffit de passer le pont
C'est tout de suite l'aventure
Laisse-moi tenir ton jupon
J't'emmène visiter la nature
L'herbe est douce à Pâques fleuries
Jetons mes sabots, tes galoches
Et, légers comme des cabris
Courons après les sons de cloches
Ding din don ! les matines sonnent
En l'honneur de notre bonheur" Brassens
Belle photo, qui donne envie de passer le pont...
Nice picture, which want to cross the bridge ..
It's perfect! Attagirl! When you'll come back from your walk on this lovely bridge, another French lesson is waiting for you, conjugation today!
Virginia, What a wonderful "end" to our walk down "memory lane". This bridge is just beautiful! Congratulations on your award from "Blognote" - you certainly deserve to be recognized for your outstanding work.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! (Or I should say beau, beau, beau!)
ANother gorgeous shot, Ms. V. Is there anything you can't photograph well?!?!
This is a very beautiful picture which reflects a great deal of serenity!
I'm amazed st such awesome places
Cheers

Congratulations for the BFF award.
Nice captured ambient.
Alice was right in asking! It was worth to make the walk to the very end of the alley!
I like this walk towards this very attractive bridge
Looks like you are in the middle of some deep, deep woods. Nice way to end a hike.
First of all thank you BLognote for that nice award!!! I will be over shortly to claim it.
And for all my French friends a big WHEW!! I went off to bed wondering-ha Yes it is a lovely walk but it is right in the middle of a neighborhood! I had to wait on cars to get by in order to take the photo. I does look like the deep dark woods I agree. ONe part is more secluded but that'a where the tree fell. I 'm off in a bit. I have my Ipod loaded with some new tunes and who knows what I find today!
Alice, conjugation of verbs? ohhhhh I don't know about that.
Good morning, Virginia! I can see why you love walking here. The stone bridge is wonderful and the light is perfect.
I'll call it pont du stone, I know very very little French. OK, a few words here and there. But this is a lovely bridge to view.
this is my first visit to your blog and I find it very interesting ! I am glad to discover your city !
Lovely bridge, wonderful photo!
I just got this via e-mail and, although my blog is not about Lisbon, I thought sharing this with you might be a good idea, maybe you will enjoy it.

Beautiful image, Virginia!

A wonderful sight V. You isolated the bridge very nicely.
I'm one of those fast asleep when this was written. The colour of the stone is really rich in golden tones. Is it a local stone? This gorgoeus image actually looks like the arches we have under the road onto the beach.
Lovely post. Thanks for sharing about the autumn walk. This is such a wonderful time of year. Happy Wednesday!
And a lovely ending it is!
There's also a famous French song: "Tout Le Pont Avignon" ... named after a bridge in the town of its namesake in the south of France. It actually looks sort of similar to your photo with the arches ... if I remember correctly.
Raobert I just love it when you visit. You are a fountain of great and interesting information. Thanks for always giving us something to think about or learn!
Hello Virginia, Lovely photo today, as always, and that is why I've given you an award! I see that Blognote has beaten me to it but I just wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoy your blog and your love of all things Parisian! I don't expect you to give out 10 awards as you have it twice but I hope you enjoy knowing your blog is loved :)
Well Marley, I am touched! I am at a loss for words, and that doesn't happen often my friend! As much as I would love to add another 5 bloggers to the award, please give someone else that honor. How very nice of you!
I am so excited for you about your trip. You will just have to find an internet cafe to post your activities in Paris.
Love the stone bridge photo. It has that calm feeling and I can hear the water flowing down the stream.
Ming, I have fabulous news. My friend Karen is taking her laptop. I have even offered to schlep it in my tote bag! I will leave comments, not posts. I am not that savvy. And Ming. Eye on the ball.....what is Team NYC doing about Le Roi de CDP's impending visit????? Red carpet? Wine? How about the White Horse for the meeting bar? As I have said, when the great Eric Tenin shows up in the US of A, we need to look alive here.
"Louis" had to come back for a second look at this...
;-)
Well Louis, make yourself at home!
Lovely image and the music matches it very well. CONGRATULATIONS ON THE AWARD, well deserved.
This is an awesome bridge, very romantic shot.
