About Me
- Virginia
- Birmingham, AL, United States
- 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.
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.

ROMANTIK PUR !!!!!
Thank you,Virginia
Megi
beautiful and truly romantic cemetery
nice shot ! :)
What a photo, what an atmosphere!
I like it very much!
Aah! just ever so pretty - Les Parisiennes do Cimetieres well!
Beautiful, V... the scene looks like a fine painting in which the artist has dipped a brush into the brighter end of the color spectrum, giving the cemetery life. The pink cyclamen draw the eyes into your art and composition.
Excellent, my friend!
Virginia, this is dreamy. I gasped when I opened your link.
This picture is very interesting, I like a lot your composition!;)
Léia
It rains in Paris? Beautiful.
V, this is such a poignant and beautiful shot! The flowers really give colour and hope to this rainy cemetery. I love it. I've never seen the rain captured in this way
Just brought back memories of French class and having to memorize, then recite Paul Verlaine's Il pleure dans mon coeur
Rain? Tears? A mixture of both? What a poignant composition. Love the pink pop of color.
wonderful shot V!!! I love the rain against the window...what a wonderful effect!
Virginia, you have such a good eye for capturing the shot at the right moment in time. This is stunning! I have much to learn.
I like your title picture. I've always wanted to play with a boat in the pool, but the kids would never let me.
I think that every superlative that came to my mind has been used here. Je suis éblouie par ce photo—and ever in awe of your fine eye!
Megi, thank you for your visits!!!!
Alexa, I just learned a new word "éblouie"! :)
Starman, I want to push boats too.
Jeanne, I am a work in progress myself.
Kathy, I think it's rain or maybe condensation. Whatever, I liked the effect!
Marie, I hadn't thought of tears!
Jack, Really! We all know it NEVER rains in Paris! HA
Brittany, I loved the color myself.
Elizabeth, this is a wonderful place to photograph. Thank you.
Cezar et Leia, you are always so kind.
Octavien, thank you for stopping by my blog and your very kind comment.
Genie, I knew you'd like it! It's got YOUR color!
Éva, Thank you
Dianne, yes they do!
Once again, lovely work.
Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving comment.
I have, since then, checked out your other blog and do love your work.
I was ashamed that you may have winced at some of my photo's.
I wish that I could take a class from you to square up my lens and shot choices.
Thanks, and have a good one!
How emotive this image is. Something so snuggly about looking at rain on glass, either through to, or away from, a cosy room. Have just stumbled across your blog and tickled pink because we share the same name! (Unusual in Australia.)
Cheerio from Virginia in Melbourne.
Love the effect of the rain and the pink pop of colour!!
That's very pretty and atmospheric...
Ciao Virginia, le cimitière, il y a toujours quelques choses de romantique.
Wow. Beautiful composition. An artwork.
Jules, I would never wince!!! You do a great job with the photographs on your blog. We're all learning!!!
Thanks Joe!
Italo, romanic cemeteries? Never thought of them that way.
Such a romantic photo.
That is a gorgeous shot! I love the atmosphere.
wow
I've been catching up these photos. You have such a great eye, V.! This one is stunning!
