You just can't plan these things. Virginia. One day your grandchildren will look at these photos and realize what a grand adventure it all was. They look like little French ones. Their mother and father must be delighted.
Mumsie, Great pictures! So when I look at the blog and see pictures of the kids, they are hardly ever wearing any clothes I have seen before. How many outfits has Melissa bought over there? Tell her I want some cool, fancy french accesories or pjs even!!
Hope y'all are doing well! Things in Forest Park are rather uneventful!
You really are working so well with light. Lovely soft and natural as are the kids always. Monoprix was my daily port of call in Montpellier. One of the best ways to get to grips with the language a shopping trip to the supermarket.
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.

That first shot is wonderful! It looks like corks make great toys!
Wonderful photos. The first is my favorite, but I love them all.
Mumsie,

How have you found conversing?
Wonderful and such memories for those two adorable Grands!
We all want some French pjs, mumsie. AKA zsa-zsa. AKA Ginger.
I love it all, especially the doors.
I wonder how long it will take French wine makers to switch from corks to screw caps?
That shot of the corks in the copper kettle was worth the trip. And I like the doors too.
Seems like you're having a great time.
Love love love the cork village!
