Oh how I love this wall....BON WEEKEND !!! And dearest, my email is closed down. I have lost your address, and I have been ridiculously busy and not able to send you that print.....I have NO email at the moment!!!! Anita
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 seems that this wall was already used for graffiti and was re-painted many times..At least balloons add a poetic touch.
Such interesting finds in Montmartre Virginia, it's a treasure trove..I can't resist anymore I have to have your book.. Have a great weekend.
Bon vendredi à toi également!

Oh! I'll take the little blue puff fish - he's so... cute!
I also love the fish one! What a find!
Cute!...I talked about you on my blog today....from Paris at that!..Janey
An interesting thing happened when I brought up your blog. The image was split into two distinct parts.
Fun catch
Not always but quite often graffiti in Paris tent to be gentler and more inspired than elsewhere.
I love that one on the left! It reminds me of the Beatles' animation in "Yellow Submarine".
I wish all public walls were painted on! I love the fish balloon.
Finally a red balloon in Paris! :)
