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.

Lanterne ancienne...mais ampoule à basse consommation.
Nicely framed! and i like the "ghost" in the window on the right...:)
*sigh* So pretty, V.
There's just something about lanterns that pull at my heart strings. Lovely.
Sam
The soft colors here are stunning and I thought that I had stumbled into pinterest... lovely!
Malyss, oh you saw something I missed! :)
Antique lanterns are my weak point. Sparkling bijoux of the city. Paris and Florence have the best ones and so distinctive.
And thank you very much, dear Virginia, for stopping by and leaving such a kind comment.
I love every detail seen in this photo!
What a beautiful arch...Love it...
Lovely .. reminded me of the entryway at Bottega
simply very nice!
I'd have known it anyway! Soooo beautiful, V. I spent a couple of nights in one of those rooms with the half-moon window on the Palais Royal when I first got to Paris. Unfortunately, I was too young, ignorant, and jet-lagged to fully appreciate it. :~{
I see a message of timelesness in this superb photo...
Thank you Madame!
It is so white. I wonder if it has undergone a recent cleaning. Most appealing, Virginia.
