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.

Is this the way French cafés keep their flatware or some piece of art? Anyhow, one more great photo!
Nice way to decorate with ancient silver forks and spoons!
Hey Virginia nice lighting and catch, this seems like most people would over look the beauty of this... but you captured it and in nice warm lighting.
Une couronne de mariée originale.
That's a great photo in every way.
Well done.
Greetings
Oh I like this. LOvely photo.
I absolutely love this .. brilliant idea
Great light and color tones, V. This might make an interesting focal piece for a dining room.
Virginia,
I really love the look of this. What a great idea! I never would have thought to do this! Great photo!
I just added you to my blog roll so I wouldn't miss any of your photos!
I will remember this when my husband tells me my table decoration is too far fetched.. in defense I will pull up your blog and refer to Le Nemours..
Love the light in this shot, V. And I'm thinking that this little vignette would not be so easy to create!
Well now that's an interesting focal point!!! And yes...the lighting is quite good!!!
very cool. I like
very cool. I like
Love the wonderful warm tones in this photo.
Love this...how did they do it? I'll have to check our Café le Nemours too.....is it one of your favourites?
Ummmmmm . . . why?
I say...why not? It's creative and conversation inducing. I wonder if they change it up every now and again.
Ver unique. Love it and no need to dust the cutlery.
le Nemours will definitely be on my list to try in October.
Perfect cafe 'sculpture' Virginia, and perhaps useful too if needs be!!
