"Sorry, but you are now on the no-grow list..."

Those French- they could put TSA to shame.

Trimming the Paris trees...

Following to yesterday's debate in the comments on the meaning of "Se raccrocher aux branches" - hi Guille! -, I thought this was the most appropriate photo du jour! Soon it will be fall and this morning, I happened to witness a tree triming. Doing a little research on the web, I found out that there are no less than 95 000 trees in the streets of Paris (that does not include the ones in gardens, woods, etc.) and that each of them is identified by a chip that allows the city gardeners to know everything about their history! Dingue non?
