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 charming picture from Paris.
Lovely!!! Love the yellow flowers which beautifully accent the whole composition!!!
Those flowers have arranged themselves beautifully for your photo, Virginia!
Those flowers provide just the right splash of color for this photo. Also, I love the simple elegance of the way the curtains are pulled up.
They give a litle joy to that sad grey walls
SO perfect ... perfect .. like a dream
Shucks, I thought you meant the drink.
Oh gosh....oh gosh....
This is sheer perfection. I could stare at it all day. The residents would have me arrested for loitering!
Lovely - curtains, textured wall and bright flowers all combine into a very sweet whole.
My. my—your eye just sees up, down, and all around! The negative space really makes the curtains and the flowers pop. And the whole thing is SO Parisian.
Merci, V!
Merci. I think is one photo from the zillions I took this trip that really satisfied me. It's so very Paris and I so very, very much miss it.
Utterly delightful.
A perfect combination of textures and colours!
