I"ve been sitting on this delightful portrait since last June. This has to be one of my favorites!. I spotted le chien through the open door so I stuck my head in and asked to photograph him. Then his happy owner came over and was nice enough to pose as well! Aren't they a great pair?

Paris je t'aime
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.

Beautifully framed picture. The pet looks very cute. Nicely done!
Lovely portrait, I am not sure who is prettier the woman or her dog!
What a photogenic pair. Her eyes speak volumes. Nicely done.
What a classic. Her expression is so genuine and direct. And the dog seems like he gets that kind of affection from her all the time.
So, at last we got this photo; you talked about the shop, the lady and the dog!
Peter, Well I have to drag out the good stuff you know! :) I"m glad you remembered.

K,
Yes, I found her enchanting. What a lovely lady. BTW, when can I purchase your fabulous book mon ami???
Merci everyone, I agree. I think she's one of my favorite "strangers". I went back to her flower shop in July but sadly she was not there that day. I hope she sees this post one day.
V, I think this is my favorite stanger picture yet - she is lovely and the dog is obviously well loved. A beautiful pair!
awwww, delightful!
