Bastille Day in France est une occasion du célébrer. This flag atop the Opèra Garnier seemed perfect for this day.

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.

Great French flag photo V. I hear it's pouring in Paris today; I hope the rains end in time for the fireworks!

Très belle photo et parfaite pour le 14 juillet.
I am still on holidays for the last few days in Boston. Back on my blog soon !
What's up with blogger lately? I could swear I left a comment here. Well maybe this one will go through: Just wanted to say your drapeau is parfait and wish a Happy Bastille Day to a fellow francophile!
