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.

How delicious. A lovely shot.
The bird is almost camouflaged in the branches, no doubt hiding from hungry cats.
I put aside my 'oh those vines will destroy the facade' and decided who cares, its gorgeous bare and when the leaves pop .. it must be even lovelier
It almost looks as though someone drew those vines on the wall.
I am in love with every window, door and vine in Paris. I've finally managed to coax a couple of vines to grow up my porch but it's not the same.
Thanks! (I love this place and stop by every time I'm lucky enough to get to Paris.)
Very lovely photo... seems from another time!
so french...divine!
