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.

I´m a big fan of window gardens! And in Paris there are a lot of them. I also love the shutters in this photo.
The window is absolutely gorgeous! :)
And I'm delighted by your header, so wonderful artwork!
Léia
Even without flowers, these look lovely.
Shabby chic to perfection Virginia!
As a Parisian, I have a similar "front yard", except mine is mostly weeds!
Lovely photo! It makes me realize how fortunate we are to have a yard!
I love, love your new header photo, V de B!
Love the new header, and the weathered look of these old shutters!
The new header is gorgeous ("Paris bleu"?).
Great scene of shabby chic à Paris... The header is fabulous!
Shabby chic or shabby? Hmmm. I am still thinking . . .
i have often wondered why shutters like these look chic in Paris and in urgent need of a paint job in Brussels !
Ahh, but have you ever walked past one of these places just after they've watered their 'jardin'?
Same when living in Nice!..:o)
It is often amazing what can be seen growing on parisian window sills and terraces, sometimes entire forests on rooftop spaces... or walls, even entire houses covered in ivy... You are absolutely right, every square centimetre counts...
DEAREST! That header is spectacular and the rest, MAGNIFIQUE!!! Anita
LOVE THE NEW HEADER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moi aussi, big fan of the new header (but I love all your headers). Also love the wabi sabi shutters. When I lived here, my cat knocked a plant off the windowsill one day (and it barely missed some innocent passerby, bien sur). The concierge and I had words, but I stuck to my guns: "Plante? Quelle plante, madame??"
I love this shot, V.
Love the soft color of the building and the shutters...the green foliage and the dark orange-red planters work perfectly for a great shot.
