- 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.
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.

What a gorgeous spot of color against those buildings!
How fabulous! What a lovely photo with the water, the colour, the buildings. You are lovesick, Virginia.
Weather is supposed to be gorgeous on Saturday -- you've inspired me to head to that fountain!

I love this exuberance with the elegance in the background ~ a beauty, Virginia! And right back at you.
With the sun sparkling on the water, it almost makes you feel like kicking off your shoes and running through it! What a happy picture!
Sandy,
Oui, but I've never had the courage to try it!
La Mom,
I thought about your hilarious blog when I did the Parc Monceau photos below.
Jilly,
Hopeless, aren't I!!!
Shell,
This has you written all over it!
Amy,
Thank you for your visits and nice comments. I too loved these funky St. Phalle sculptures against the old church in the background.
I can never resist a photo of a heart
I love the Stravinsky fountain.
Lovely picture - lets go to the Centre Pompidou..Have a nice weekend, Inge
Oh, too sweet, tous suite!
Delightful photo of a really fun fountain. My 1986 college yearbook photo is of me posing in front of this fountain, taken the year before when I was studying in Paris. Oh to be 20 again and living in Paris!
Katie,
Oh to be living in Paris at any age! ;)
Daryl,
That's where my heart is!
Starman,
It is fun isn't it!
Petrea,
HA!
Inge,
Actually I've never been in the museum there. I hope to see it one day soon.
As Katie said—only in my case it was 20 years earlier (and this wasn't there)!
V -- must admit, it's not my fave Paris museum (not even close), but, boy, do I love this fountain! Thanks!
A nice message from a real friend! :-)
Alexa, I've not been inside but I'm not a huge fan of a lot of contemporary art. I do hope to visit next time and will let you know!
Peter,
Merci mon ami et tu aussi!!!
Wow I love it :-) I think it is wonderful !!
Would you mind if I used it on my blog, and link it to you.. no problem if I can't though.
