Playing in the white powdery dirt in Paris seems to have universal appeal for children. My Eva and Davis did a lot of it when we visited in 2009. I captured this petit garçon with the obligatory stick at the Luxembourg Gardens last week. And would you look... a ROUGE mitten!

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.

Virginia-- I smiled when I heard Jacques Brel singing: "Ne Me Quitte Pas" just as I was looking at that kid looking at his mitten... "Don't leave me, red mitten! We are tied together! Don't leave... " ;-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Votre petite moufle ressemble à un joli poisson rouge sorti de son bocal...
Belle photo...

Someone must have known you'd be wandering along momentarily, V! What a perfect touch.
Why do I think that this is what caught your eye? Great capture.
Not a red mitten Virginia, well imagine that haha! I also like the fur lined hood and the extremely white little sneakers, so cute.
Adorable! Just the perfect splash of color ... And rouge just for you!
LOVE this POV, Virg
Very cute little guy and already stylish. Let's give a credit to his mom.
Perfect framing, invigorating splash of color and a light with long evening shadows made a wonderful shot.
Virginia, please come to my blog to take a walk together.

Love the red mitten and the swinging motion suspended over the unique surface found in the Paris gardens... It was a great visit with lots of shadows and an abundance of sun!
So at what age do they stop wearing white sneakers?
Ce petit garçon was obviously wearing them just for you, V! And what is it about little boys and sticks?
You used a most interesting angle to compose this image, so it is not "just another kid" photo. Nice!
