In the grand Jardin des Tuileries (Tuileries Garden) of Paris, I walked around to admire this vast open area of statues, art sculptures, strategically grown trees. It’s a beautiful place rich in history and inspiration, with plenty of room to sit down, relax, think how fortunate one is to find a moment of peace in such a wonderful place.

I noticed a broken statue of some lion, adorned with fresh bananas. I was a little hungry and the bananas looked tempting.

But then I thought, let’s not touch the art.

In truth, the bananas are made of bronze and hand painted by modern-day artist Tony Matelli. But that did not stop from wanting to eat the art.

Picture was taken last fall. Just felt this was a good time to share it, because life is bananas.
