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.

The pigeon is probably on the menu.
I'll bet that pigeon has a chequered past. ;)
I'm so sorry, but lately I have been just too busy to make the tour of the blogs I usually try to visit, including this one of course! I have now - at last - made the tour of your latest posts (thanks for the birthday wishes and the symbolic champagne)!
I think this is very well educated pigeon, staying UNDER the table!
Love it .. I am sure M. Pigeon knows a big table like that means lots of crumbs for him
I'm wondering what the big pile of straw is doing there. And I notice 4 ashtrays—does this mean you can still smoke if you sit outdoors?
LOL Starman!
Great photo, V. Looks like it came right out of 1924. My last name starts with a "pidge" sound, so I have quite an affection for pigeons in Paris. I was googling photos of just that last Friday!
You're making me HUNGRY et welcome back to the Divine Peter!
Simple and beautiful!
Wonderful!
WEll the photo was taken in Nov. 2008 so I"m guessing it was a "harvest theme" in Paris!
Peter,
We've been swilling champagne since your birthday! :)
Starman,
MonDieu, NON!
Merci to you all. I"ve been in Los Angeles and just home. Thank you for your kind comments while I was gone.
V
Love, love it! The b&w especially!
