I caught Genie's daughter Holly, savoring a few quiet, restful moments at the Jardin du Luxembourgon a sunny Sunday afternoon last January. LOVE that red coat!
My grandson loved sailing those boats when we took him to Paris at age 7. He recently recalled some of the memories he still has at age 17. He was not as quiet and reflective as Genie's daughter, however.
Indeed it is tres petite! Virginia, thank you SO much for leaving a comment...I have "seen you around" hee..but have been too shy to say hello, I guess! I adore Anita, I adore Genie's blog, and now I am so excited to "meet" you. I share your love of photography and Paris, so I will be following and enjoying! Beautiful shot in my favorite park... Merci mille fois et bises, - Irina
Kris and Karena, I'm so glad you enjoy the music. Kris, scroll down the sidebar and find the player. All the music is listed there. It plays the songs randomly. V
Oh la what a wonderful spot to sit and dream for a while. The red coat is becoming famous Virginia, Holly looks tres chic, with the petit splash of blue scarf. Gorgeous image.
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.

cette veste est une belle couleur rouge
J'aime le soleil sur
Scatto molto delicato e romantico in un contesto affascinante come i giardini di Lussemburgo.
Buona Domenica

Looks like a wonderful place to ponder.
Telle une belle rose... Gros bisous
That was a wonderful day, and the sun felt good in January. Sweet shot of my girl. Bisous, g

A photo that could be turned into a painting.

I think I saw Holly in this red coat on Genie's blog . . . also posed mysteriously. You folks must have had a great time.
Great place to relax.
Ahhh the red coat! I made sure this past winter the replace my old beaten-up red coat for a new one, mission accomplished.
I recently sat in the exact same spot, watching the world go by, what beautiful memories your photo brings back!
Beautiful
tres jolie
