Late one afternoon as I snooped around the Village St. Paul, they were bringing the chairs in for the evening. I snapped these delightfully colored chairs right before they were stacked away for the night.
Really gorgeous. I don't leave many comments, but I do so enjoy your beautiful photos and blog. I see you live in AL... I hope you don't run out of Paris photos - if so, you will have to take another trip! Happy New Year.
Hi Virginia, Oh my, time has been flying right along, work was crazy up through Christmas... I see you've been busy, was just looking through your recent posts, always your quiet sense of grace for the surroundings you explore. These chairs... they are dancing, and whispering in each other's ears, shyly... but maybe we could pull a couple of them up to a table one of these days. I hope January won't be too crazy cold and snowy like December was. It was a nightmare here for a lot of folks, some of whom had to spend the night in their cars in the Paris area after the ice and snow storm hit...
Owen, How could i photograph our Paris any other way? Thank you. I hope we'll be able to spend a little time together next week but will certainly understand if your work and other commitments won't allow it. V
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.

Love the colors!!!
Wonderful shot! Your eye—and your timing—are spot on as always, V.
So glad that they were into bright colors as those chairs are just perfect against the gray cobblestones. Very nice, V.

Nice of them to provide the seating.
