I can see why this is one of your favorites - it's simply amazing! And now I'm very curious about what the one kid was saying that has all the others so attentive. Love the variety of shoes and clothes and the two cute hats!
Once again, I am blown away by your gift for people shots! This one is stunning! I also like the one of the man in the museum (in your blue series). Spectacular!
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, part-time painter, lover of all things French ( whose français is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic art museum volunteer, grateful 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". My 2008 trip I looked at Paris with a different 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. I was thrilled to return to Paris and the French countryside in June and July of 2009, and blogged daily while there. I've returned to the city I love in January and June- 2010 , January 2011 and January 2012! Each time I visit, it feels more and more like home, and I discover new and interesting things with each trip. I cherish the time with my Paris friends as well as the friends that always join me there. 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.

It just doesn't get any better than this! It's one of the cutest photos I've ever seen. It should be framed and hanged!
Great job!
Brilliant! This little boy is obviously quite the raconteur.
Oh, this one is just perfect! And I'm sure your grandchildren enjoy it too!
Love the expression of the kid on the end next to the kid with the striped shirt (is the striped shirt kid a boy or girl?)
I'm speechless...

That is such a beautiful photo. I love it!
Thanks for the nod :)
C'est extra!!!
Reminds me of a modern-day Cartier-Bresson image.

I'm so glad that I decided to look at some of your older photos because this one is a buried treasure.
James,
I don't know how you found it but it is a goodie, n'est-ce pas??
