Sometimes my friends are kind enough to point out a potential photo op that I appear to overlook. This one I'd have missed if Peter hadn't alerted me. I fumbled with my camera and barely got off two shots before the light turned and she walked away. LOVE her leggings and that cute kick in her step.
Merci M. Olson!

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.

I love this too. Good for Peter. Doesn't the colour work so wonderfully against the background!
Clever framing...
Love those leggings and the mismatched socks/hose. Great reflexes, V! Thanks, Peter, for your observant eye.

Oh wow, lucky you snapped this at the perfect time.
Do you know who this reminds me of? Yelle, the French singer! Oh mon dieu. Imagine if it was actually a picture of her you snapped?! She wears tights and leotards like this all the time.
The photo is really cute. You are a real master of photography.
Brittany,
Well I can't believe I could have had a shot of someone famous. I will look her up! Whoever she was, her sense of style was certainly fun!
Wong,
I think I can't take credit for the clever framing. It was fast and it was luck!
Nice legs !
Oh love those leggings ...
Luck + Peter or not, you got the shot—and it's a fun one! Looove those tights. She looks like she's about to shuffle off (a la Jackie Gleason—remember?).
Normally YOU are the best observer! :-)
Very fun!!!
Oh my! I takes a brave woman to wear those leggings!!
It almost looks like she's avoiding the infamous Parisian dog droppings.
Leggins out of a fairytale, like a fairy in Paris.
Compliments from Hotel Paris Arc de Triomphe
