I'll bet you thought I'd forgotten all about my Table/Chairs Series...you'd be right! That said, this last trip I got some nice ones. You know why these caught my eye! ( and for some reason the leaves did it for me aussi)
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, part-time painter, lover of all things French ( whose français is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic art museum volunteer, grateful 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". My 2008 trip I looked at Paris with a different 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. I was thrilled to return to Paris and the French countryside in June and July of 2009, and blogged daily while there. I've returned to the city I love in January and June- 2010 , January 2011 and January 2012! Each time I visit, it feels more and more like home, and I discover new and interesting things with each trip. I cherish the time with my Paris friends as well as the friends that always join me there. 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.

A warm croissant and a hot cafe au lait and I'm sitting right there with you, Virginia! I too like the curled leaves.
And I love how you used PTML to create the 'back' for the bench. Who wouldn't love to sit on that bench or in these chairs!
Great perspective, V, and I'm glad that you got down on the ground to snap this one! The leaves really soften the lines and order.

Oui, oui Harriet...that header is magnifique!!!
Les chaises sont rouges, of course!
Love the chairs and tables!!! Love the header!!!
I'm with the rest of the gang here—love it! (And, no, I did not forget about this series. It's one of my faves—so evocative.)
All at attention!
Great photo. I love those chairs and tables!
A sad picture.
I really enjoy this photo. It would make a great painting/poster.
