I've already posted at least two photographs from this stroll through the Palais Royal, that rainy day last January. Fini? Bien sûr que non!!! This chubby cheeked boy was just walking into my shot. I have more. I hope you won't mind.

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.

Ah, les colonnes de Buren, one of the most controversial structures to hit Paris in the last thirty year. Another remnant of the Mitterand presidency. I love the Louvre pyramid, or la Grande Arche in la Défense, but I have never quite gotten used to these striped things I must confess. Great shot, Virginia. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
I just love this shot!!!! Wonderful work!!! :D
Wonderful Virginia....This little guy is so adorable and so purposeful on such a miserable day.....xv
Wonderful reflections here Virginia and the little fella too cute, we were on the same wavelength today! Looking forward to more. Have a great weekend.
Some days I like les colonnes de Buren, others I'm not so sure. Today, I like them!
Don't know the colonnes de Buren, but the photo is very nice and the boy looks perfect there. Gives movement to the shot.
Have a great weekend.
Wonderful reflections!
This picture is brilliant!
Léia
Excelent BW photo
I will not mind at all... These little guys were adorable, running through the rain and over/around the columns. Glad you were clicking away!
Wow, I've missed some great photos this week. The one from summer, 2009 made me feel all nostalgic, and it's not even my memory.
mind? bien sûr que non ! adorable, the guy and the picture
Shell took the words right out of my mouth. And mind? Mais non! Bring it on—especially when your shot includes an adorable petit garçon.
I like his hat. I want one.
Very good framework (i don't know if in english is framework or other word). Sorry my english
Fábio, framework works perfectly and I think you for the nice comment!
Davide, thank you for visiting my blog today and leaving such a nice comment. I hope you will come by often.
Ah, yes, I remember this place. Earlier your many buddies all debated about a businessman striding through it while on a cellphone.
The place still intrigues visitors from all over... funny, I photographed those chrome balls 25 years ago... in 1986 when I was living in a chambre de bonne as a student. Still have that photo somewhere...
I love the rainy mood, and the child passing by; I don't like Buren's work, and not evn the man himself..
So nice to find your blog again! Thanks for visiting mine. I love your Paris pics. You see the sorts of things I might see.
so cute!
Wonderful capture!
