Ta patience a été récompensée, Virginia! Colorful little lady. Her shoes [almost] match her hair! Seems she is a photographer, too, and headed somewhere on a mission... Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
What perfect timing; unfortunately about 10 minutes to late to make it into this week's That was the week... - you'll have to go back and take another one!
She´s most certainly no French girl. I´ve never seen a French girl/woman with pink hair, they prefer a more natural look. I have red hair (thanks to chemistry) and I´m getting always a lot of strange looks when I´m in Paris. Kids love my hair "Maman, regarde....!" ;-)
Vreni, That's funny you say that. I have see many women in Paris with really bad "hair chemistry"! I've also said when I'm there I must be the only woman in Paris with grey, undyed, hair!
Your quick trigger finger has served you well, ma chère! I see she also has her camera at the ready—but if she'd been paying more attention, she might have snapped a shot of "the only woman in Paris with gray, undyed hair." :~}
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.

Pour les femmes, comme pour les glaces, je préfère celles qui sont un peu moins colorées.
In Paris, I think you will not have to wait for long to be lucky.

Serendipity, that's what I say!

You also need to know when to push the button in order to get great shots like this.
Delicious!! I like that this is number one in a series...?
Very cool shot.

Hi Virginia,

That is a pretty cool picture, Virginia, in so many ways.
I don't know, V, girls like her never seem to fall in MY lap!
