This stand outside the entrance to Luxembourg Gardens was a "must stop" for Eva and Davis. This nice gentleman always had a smile for us. There were many delicious choices but of course we always asked for chocolat!
Starman and ET Suzy, I'll take orders the next triP!
Peter, Well Eva and Davis ordered and I licked to keep them from dripping! Spring in Paris. Well that makes me want to book the next flight!
Thanks everyone. I love Davis' photo. He still had a little bit of a "baby" boy face. Now he's a "big boy", reading and playing t-ball! Mumsie wanted to keep him little!
Wonderful portraits of both of these "gentlemen!" Young Davis is beautiful, and the ice-cream vendor actually looks like the type who might give you the shirt off his back—yes, please! (Only if I get to him before ET Suzy does, of course!)
OF course, this nice man was so generous with his smiles. I hadn't really noticed his ET shirt but now I want one too. Maybe i"ll get a boatload the next visit and bring them all home for my dear blog amis!
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and 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". 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.

Please, add me to the list for the ET-shirt, Virginia. ;)
What charming boys, both of them. Delight for la vie, delight for chocolat. You've captured them beautifully!
I want to reach for the ice cream, I tried but I can't!
