His home was just visible in the haze as he strolled down Rue De Montemarte with his friends at his side. He would soon be warmed by his fathers fire. A thud accompanied the pain in Paulo's forehead before the blackboard duster ricocheted Into the classroom window. "Stop daydreaming", demanded Monsieur Blaget.
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.

Wheee ~ I feel dizzy! What a superb motion photo, V ~ and how sweet.
Awww, so sweet three of them :D
Oh how different les gars sont là bas.....mignon!!! Anita
I am so happy that you also post 'motion' pictures....I always worry that mine would be looked at as total catastrophies :-)
A colorful shot with motion and three young friends, perhaps off to school?
Very cute photo of Bruno, Philippe et Claude!
Bon weekend, V de B!
Comme dans un film de science fiction quand on rentre dans l'hyperespace !
Love the kaleidoscope effect in this shot.....
love the music. That is a precious photo. Have a nice weekend.

Lovely shot. I hope these three remain friends forever... Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
It shows how ridiculously mental we become when we get older, especially here in the U. S.
Great shot, V! And so sweet—I doubt that boys here would walk hand-in-hand like that.
Sempre stupende le tue foto
Reminds me of the song "Three Best Friends" from The Hangover. OK, maybe this shot is a little more innocent...
Love the motion in this photo! And the three holding hands are so sweet ... friendship is lovely!
I *love* this shot! Absolutely charming in every way.
Perfect timing for a very interesting moment! The effect in the picture also adds so much to it!
God bless you!

The best time, hopefully hey will be friends 'forever'. The quick shots are nearly always the best, love the effect you've used Virginia.
Fun shot!!!
