As evening fell I sat outside with a cup of espresso, grateful for the outdoor heater. I could have found a table inside but would not have been able to enjoy this informal game of soccer on the Place Stravinsky. The side of the beautiful Église Saint-Merri was an interesting backdrop.

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.

Great image. I like the combination of Church and community. Maybe not the gathering the church intended but a gathering none the less.
Wonderful expression of young activities in such beautiful architectural settings ...
And those boys probably take that backdrop entirely for granted—can you imagine?? Nice capture, V!
Tolles Foto!Ich liebe Ihre Fotos!Sie geben immer einen Grund zum Nachdenken!Einerseits bin ich sehr konservativ-ich weiß nicht,ob ein Kirchenhof als Fußballplatz benutzt werden kann.Anderseits ist toll,dass die Kinder in der nähe einer Kirche sind und sich mit Sport beschäftigen.ich habe auch als Lehrerin gearbeitet,deshalb schreibe ich so viel über die Kinder.
liebe Grüße
joe,
I agree.
Alexa,
I think they do take it all for granted, but they are young!
Wong,
Thank you
Megi,
Actually this square is not part of the church property, just to the right is the unusual Stravinsky Fountain.
Virginia, thanks a lot! Because of yesterday's photo, I had to go to Trader Joe's to buy their frozen "pains au chocolat". They are a bit on the greasy side but so good right out of the oven and hopefully that will statisfy my cravings for a while.
Did anyone notice the two boys wearing only T-shirts? Kids are definitely crazy.
I'd like to climb into the photo and be one of the players. :)
Marvelous work. A visit to your Paris photo blog is like enjoying a fine feast for the eyes.
Nadege,
I"m always happy to lure my friends to decadent breakfast pastries! We have a bakery here that comes very close to Paris standards.
Starman,
Boys will be boys, no matter the city or the weather!
James,
I wish you had been there for me to photograph!
Doug,
Thanks for leaving a comment. Your work is wonderful . Great eye you have.

I love the motion in this shot, just wonderful!
And, for sure I'm enchanted by the Church!
