Virginia, I love your colour planner. Especially images on Cover, September and October. You are such a master of le ciel de Paris (cover, Oct.). To catch ever changing clouds, colour and the mood is so rare. Wonderful images, wonderful!
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.

Tres belle, la place de la Concorde, en noir et blanc ou en couleurs! Bravo Virginia et bon weekend! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
What dates are you in Paris, V?
Stunning, V. Such a clear night. Santa would be grateful to be able to land with this kind of lighting to assist him...
The enlighted Grande Roue is like a winter sunshine!
Very dramatic! Great in monochrome! Do you carry a tripod in your handbag while strolling around Paris??
This is a fabulous view and perfect en noir et blanc!
Lovely B&W!
God bless you!
