One Sunday morning when walking back to the apartment after Sunday service at the Val de Grace, I spotted this curious chat that apparently lived in the salon de coiffure. I liked the color coordinated floor tiles! (I shot this through the window.)
The cat and the floor are perfectly matching! Right next to my gym there´s a record shop (no cds, only old fashioned records) where two cats are living, sometimes they are sleeping in the shop window. Cute!
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.
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.

That's a great capture...looks like the cat's curiosity got the better of it.
How clever of him to pose on the black and white floor, but being a cat he would not likely admit to posing anyway! So sweet, V.
One of those magical moments ~ so glad you were there to catch it for us, dear V!
Le chat noir is so pretty.
Surely, you didn't think they would have une chat that clashed.
I'm a sucker for cats in windows but I don't think I've taken a cat in a window shot as nice as this one. I love it!
