Le 14 juillet

Today is July 14th, France's national day, a celebration of the first steps in the nation's transition away from a monarchy to a nation led by its people.

An artichoke in bloom out back. The 14 juillet défilé (parade) down the Champs-Elysées gets under way soon.

It's also still hot. Many communities across the country have canceled traditional fireworks displays to reduce fire risk. Drone-based displays are becoming more common, although I don't know of any around us.
