Starman said...: I could accept that if only there were more days when I could be the pigeon.; January 18, 2011 at 4:28:00 PM CST
Rip said...: I think thats one of the few quotes where I really think it has a meaning, and someone didn't right it down just because some dude was famous. It seems birds have really taken to you this past trip, Mrs. J!; January 18, 2011 at 5:28:00 PM CST

PeterParis said...: There is now a competition between pigeons and seagulls to be the "chapeau" of the statues! I guess you have also a few seagulls in reserve! :-); January 19, 2011 at 4:42:00 AM CST

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.
