That feeling which can go either way... lonely, as if we've missed something everyone else had earlier, or privately uniquely blessed in our own wonderful space.
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.

So wonderful picture, I like the perspective with the chairs and the couple there look interesting in your camera! :)

Isn't it funny...this style of chairs is SO French. All I need now is a nice meal and some champagne!
You were being watched

So many empty tables, where is everyone?
I have a feeling that we would all gladly come and fill them...
I'm thinking early morning...and a cup of hot steaming cafe au lait...
There seemed to be a lot more 24/7 places last time we were there.
Love the colors in this shot, the contrasting rouge of the awning... so very Paris!
Voila, pour vous, Madame V de B!
Bon weekend
Looks like the perfect place to order a glass of red wine! Love the lighting here!!
A certain Impressionist painter would have been jealous of this shot...
En ce moment, il doit y avoir pas mal de places libres en terrasse, surtout la nuit.
I'd love to be sitting there right now!
