These photographs were taken almost exactly a year ago in le
Marais district of Paris. I just love the colors of this "Virginia creeper" and the fallen leaves almost as much as I loved walking the streets and photographing this old and lovely part of Paris.

Oh, I can see why you're in love with this, Virginia. How spectacular! {And don't the colours match your blog font colours nicely.} Ooh, my wv is dapper!
C'est fantastique!J'aime beaucoup tes photos. Salut :)
What a beautiful building! Do you remember in which street is it?
Just a little thing: in French, we would say "Automne dans le Marais" (or "Automne au Marais" but it does not sound great). Sorry, French is so hard...
I was here today with Richard. Tres jolie!

I love the Matais. I don't think they would be called Virginia creepers inn Paris, but there are a lot of them there.
Starman,
That's what Jilly in Monte Carlo DP called it. Here we call it Boston Ivy. Who knew!
Alice,

France,
Thanks for you visit and your comments.
Shell,
Oui they do match!
This is a test note.
Lovely and chilly but welcoming..
Really beautiful photo! Diane
I gasped at the first photo! Lovely.
So beautiful!
It's just too beautiful for words. I love that you love Paris so much, you've made such a difference in my life.
Oh Paula, now don't you make me get all weepy. I do love Paris so, and I love doing this blog so much. It's like a little trip back each day when I pour over my photos and choose one or twofor all of you. I can't bear the thought of running out and having to stop. Well actually I have so many that I can run "marginals" for quite a while. A trip might be in my winter plans. I can't stop. I"m besotted.
I love autumn colors -- both photos are great, but that top one is definitely worthy of some award.
Breathtaking pictures!!
i regret that i did not have enough time to visit all the beautiful places in Paris last year, maybe in 2010.
next time i will get the "documentation" from your blog :D
thanks for the shots, they are very beautiful :)
Ahhh, Parthenocissus vitacea! This was the hardest latin name I had to memorize in 9th grade Biology and I never forgot it because it was so hard to get in my brain in the first place!
