What timing! Our local supermarket was having a sale on an Australian wine because they are no longer going to carry that brand (darn, it's my favorite). Everything sold out except the rosé.
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.

V, I've been under the weather for a few days.....this gives me a lift. Great pic! Thanks for the help.
How did you capture that light in the glasses ? This is a brilliant picture, I love it !
I love how you've picked up the light just in the glass. Wonderful!
Ditto on how wonderful the light hits the glasses. And is that a Vampire cape on the wine drinker? I love the silhouette.
I ad a glass of rosé last night but somehow drinking it on my couch in Austin is just not te same... Lovely photo.
Laurent and Maya,
Dumb luck
Karen,
No vampire cape. I almost didn't use the photo because of the sign that was behind her! :)
StyleSpy,
You're so right about that. B'ham isn't Paris either!
Judy,
Hope you're feeling better my friend!
Amazing photo! You are full of surprises. It's a joy to look at your photos each day.
Now THAT is my kind of afternoon. I love rose. I love rose in summer. I love rose in summer in Paris.
Ah .. lovely .. I can almost taste it, L'Chaim!
Another brilliant Virgograph - just where is this café???

Starman, hope you bought the whole lot!
Mar,
It was beside the long fountain at Sorbonne. That's all the info I can offer. You know I don't remember any street names! rue Whatever! HA
AH,
I love rosé and Paris any time of the year. Waaaaaa
