Those pastries look heavenly! Absolutely nowhere to get real pastry here. Not even a bear claw from Panera.

And the flowers are gorgeous, too!

Ty for sharing!

They have the most astonishing array of pastries that I've ever seen.

The flowers really grabbed me today as well. They were everywhere.

The floral displays are simply stunning. . and as for the pastries. . noe to self: MUST go to La Baguette in the morning! It is the closest I can come to those lucious treats.

You are a true moment of respite in this escalating insanity.

Taking these photos helps me escape the escalating insanity too.
