Danielle Voirin’s Photo of the Day for 08.17.15

Night falls in the gardens of Vaux-le-Vicomte.  On Saturday evenings from May to October, this 17th-century Chateau is lit by candlelight and a fireworks display, and ambiance perhaps similar to that of August 17, 1661, the night of the party that inspired a very jealous Louis XIV to construct Versailles.  Nicolas Fouquet, the owner of Vaux-le-Vicomte, had thrown the party in Louis's honor, not knowing the king had already planned to arrest him.  Voltaire would later write about this night, “On August 17, at six in the evening Fouquet was King of France, at two in the morning, he was nobody.”

A new leaf in the middle of my modest house plant, reminding me that the natural impulse of every living thing is to grow.
