Nice shot of another man on steps. How does Paris manage to have flowers in November? Love the crooked light. And is that some kind of body stocking? (Doesn't look anything like my long underwear) and Les Deux Chaises are calling me... thank you!
The man is waiting for the meloncholoy girl from a previous photo. They arranged the wrong set of steps to meet. Love the ooh la la's today. Sexy if a little cold for this time of year. Bugger the cold it's Paris. Those empty chairs are awating the arrival of the young couple who will meet shortly. I am slightly mad I know.
I leave in 2 more days.. but a cold & cough has hit me.. first time in years and lousy timing.. My house sitters are here and it's odd having all this activity in my normally quiet home.. The cats are afraid of the poor old harmless dog who has moved in and my kitchen is chaos as is my sleeping patterns.
K., No R& R in Paris and don't expect the weather to help your cold. Drink lots of vin and you'll be fine!
B, there were people "waiting"' of just maybe sitting and enjoying the scenery everywhere. I myself sat in one of those lovely chairs with my Ipod on just taking in all the activity in Tuileries and snapping the occasional photo. What better way to spend an afternoon, oui?
Jill, There were balconies spilling over with geraniums, and every kind of flower. I do not know how they were surviving. Only in Paris......
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.
