Today a look at Mary, Genie and Marie enjoying a quiet moment at the fountain in Tuileries on Friday evening. And yes, I got to prop my feet up and enjoy the view of le Louvre as well!
Such lovely photos! Glad to know you're at least sitting down every once in a while. I know it's hard to sit still when there's so much to do and see in Paris though!
J'aime les trois amies, Virginia, but...les trois pompiers has somehow appeared in my reader, and I hope you'll be posting it soon because I hate for the other ladies to be deprived.
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.

Good to know you relaxed a little today and just enjoyed 'being in Paris'.
Based on the clothing, it looks like it's still coolish in Paris - nice walking weather, I hope.

Jolie et tranquille.
Very tranquil ~ I love both of these, Virginia. I drew my feet once, but your photo is infinitely more attractive. :)
Fete de la Musique today! I hope you'll enjoy it
I am so wishing I was there with you ..
The weather people say you might actually get some summer weather this week.

Oh, you lucky ladies! These shots are great, and I hope you all enjoy the fete de la musique!
Oh such cheery and girly photographs... I envy you all!
Love the one of your toes!!
I so love that I can picture that place and feel the environment. Not too far away I can see the shady path along the chestnut trees....
I see your trip is going very well. Good for you!
Cheers,
Victor
