You're keeping to your theme of three Virginia, I like it a lot. What an ornate cross behind the fairly plane one. I hope you are having a great weekend, it's nearly finished here in Perth.
Thank you all for your comments today. I"ve had friends here this weekend and am just now getting around to my blogs. I appreciate your faithfulness even when I"m absent! V
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.

It would have been interesting if you had lined up the one in front with the one in back.
A perfect post for sacred Sunday! A wonderful photo, V!
Bon dimanche!
V, you have such a great eye!
Wonderful composition! Must visit Cimetiere de Passy next time -- what a treasure trove!
Beautiful, V. I love the way you composed this.
Excellent, Virginia. The carving is wonderfully ornate. The offset cross in front looks like it fits into the window, but it doesn't.
