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 understand you completely, I also love the Parisian flower shops!
Yeah right....
You and me both! I have a little collection of photos of French flower shops - I can't pass one without a 'snap'! A day brightener, to be sure.
Heaven... I'm in heaven... {whistle whistle}
Can I find TULIP there?
You took it for the flowers . . . of course you did—especially that rather long-stemmed one! What church is that in the background, V? (And merci beaucoup for your very kind words chez moi—kindred indeed!)
Monsieur outshined the fleurs I'm afraid! :) Shell if you paint this one, you mustn't leave him out! HA
Alexa, St. Médard at the bottom of rue Mouffetard.
Adeeya,
Oui, I'm sure there are tulips. I bought a bunch in Paris last week.
la fourchette, There are always so many varieties and they arrange them to beautifully.
jb,
You got it!
I have many photos of the flowers and the shops, but I think that this shot of yours here with its "centerpiece" is outstanding... trobooogosse
Bises,
G
The beautiful color in this photo brightens my day! Another photo that says PARIS.
I shall have to look again and see if I can see the flowers :)
We don't have this in Spain...
I like the colors :)
The beautiful and the handsome together in a photo. Love it!
Cute butt, er, flowers!
Daryl!
I agree:)
Sandy,
A very nice pair!
Sofia,
The handsome men or the flower shops?HA
Janey,
HAAAAAA
Harriet,
Oh face it , you love anything I put up as long as it's Paris! :)
Genie,
You caught me.
Bien sur!! :-) Les fleurs sont belles! :-)
Ah, you have so MANY reasons for loving Paris...
:-)
I don't need another reason, but I love this.
Oui bien sûr ! :-)))
What a stunning image! I would stand amongst those flowers all day..
It looks like Spring!!!
The gentleman was picking out flowers for you, I'm sure!!!
I'm absolutely certain the handsome young man had nothing to do with taking this picture.
I think Adeeya knows what is better than "roses on the piano."
