About Me

- 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.

Your baby just hiccuped, Virginia. ;-) And that is probably because he has swallowed the yellow Metro sign... Bad, bad, "baby" ;-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
LOL, French Girl in Seattle! I'll look forward to seeing the sign when it's behaving again. I'm sure it's stunning, dear V.
I can almost imagine it!...
I'm glad you three have good imaginations. Who knows what happened. I was there last night! :)
V
Voila - le metro se trouve ici!
Salut d'EAGAN 'a toi, chere V de B!
Looks nice with some fine architecture features just behind it...
God bless you!

A Metro sign with beautiful architecture behind it -- a great capture.
Le M de "La marque jaune"
Great capture V!!! No hiccups here!!!
The Metro signs are one of the joys about Paris. Many years ago while in Paris with my daughter asked whether the sold hamburgers there!
Yes, this version of the Metro sign is nice, but the ones I really like art the art nouveau signs.
I love this, love the light. I wouldn't mind being there and looking at the real thing right now.
Great shot! The lighting is beautiful and I love the sign.
p.s. I just posted some Palais Royal shots that I took in November 2010 and one is very similar to your photo from last Wednesday.
I also prefer this "M" to the other yellow "M" you see everywhere (except on the Champs-Elysées where it's white)! :-)
