I'm sure we recycle enough bottles to be able to have one of these on every street corner. But at least we recycle them. :~} This is brilliant—thanks, V!
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.

Hmmmmmmm... Nice shot, but I am not so sure about the recycled tree... Hmmmm... Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Like Veronique.. recycling is great, but sometimes, it hurts the eyes!
I did like these trees and the overhead street decorations. I understood that you could buy a kit to make these for your own decorating?
I have to go back this year and see of the decorations have been "recycled" also to be used this year! :-)
Only in Paris you say, because only Paris could get it right!
Very clever! Go GREEN! Recycle, reduce, reuse!
Funny .. and fun .. and makes you smile, isnt that what the holiday decorations do .. love them
