About Me
- Virginia
- Birmingham, AL, United States
- 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.
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.

Mysterious... and a bit scary... Those shadows... Nobody around... Tu es courageuse, Virginia... Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
I pictured those benches once, but under daylight.I'm not like Veronique, I imagine a lovers rendez-vous! :o)
I love the atmosphere you've captured here!
I agree with Loulou -- c'est tres atmospherique! I'm on a plane and may not have much Internet access where I'm headed. So just in case, Happy New Year, m'dear!
Ohhhhh it has been too long since I last visited you chèrie; thank you for ambling on over and YES! YOU SAW EVA!!! Ohhhh, big hugs to you sweet Virginie! BLESSINGS FOR 2012!!!! Anita
It looks almost a little spooky, V de B!
Bonne annee' 'a toi
Veronique, not to worry, I had a good friend with me that night. He and I were armed.....with cameras! :)

I think Malyss is right Virginia, there will be lovers along any minute to sit on the bench under the moonlight and have a bit of a canoodle haha! Here's wishing you a very happy New Year Virginia.
Excellent, Virginia. What is so good about the shot is that each viewer supplies his or her own interpretation.
Have a wonderful 2012, OK?
Hi Virginia,
Love the light and the shadows and this is such a fabulous photograph.
Happy New Year and best wishes for 2012.
Hugs
Carolyn
I do believe I have a photo of the same tree!
