Nice, I love 'framing' my shots with something in the foreground .. its a tricky shot for autofocus'ers like me but I know you are pure manual all the way
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.

Clever frontal framing ...
Cold and sunny: the perfect combination for this pretty postcard!

Très joli, Virginia. You always find a unique way to capture your favorite Parisian friend, 'la Tour". ;-) Bon weekend en Alabama. Veronique
très réussi !
That's a good one. OK time to go over and spend real quality time.
Just looking at this photo makes me shiver from the cold.
I remember the stars on the Eiffel Tower! I think it was for Franc's presidency of the EU.
Fantastic once again. One can never see too many pictures of the Eiffel Tower.
Je passe assez souvent à cet endroit...

Beautiful, Virginia. I spent some time deciding whether or not I like the view through the bare limbs, and I came down on the side of "yes!"
Crisp and chilly, but always beautiful, gorgeous shot Virginia.
Parfait!
