The Basilica Saint Denis is an amazing church filled with rows and rows of beautiful marble statuary, a veritable Who's Who of French royalty. Many have faithful friends, such as these, at their feet. My friend Owen at Magic Lantern Show was our guide that day, and he has done a marvelous post on many of these as well right HERE. He and I seemed to have had a "foot fetish" that day. More on that later!

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.

I think this is the sweetest example of a foot fetish I've seen, V. Lovely.
Wonderful light in these photos V. An unusual subject for a sculpture in a Church but beautiful nonetheless.
Cool lighting and subject !
Are they cute! Wonderful light V.
Have a nice sunday!
That you for the tour of this beautiful church. Have a spectacular Sunday

Incredible marble work! Looks at this pattern of "cloth" underneath the dogs, what a craft!
God bless you!

Love St. Denis; enjoying this pic more, Virginia, as I just returned from walking my own two dogs. Have a lovely Sunday~
I've really got to get up there one of these days. And when I do, I'll be sure to keep an eye on the floor! :)
They're very cute - and it's a wonderful piece of sculpture.
I followed your link to Magic Lantern Show, which I had never visited before. Great post, great photos. Your photo today puts me in mind of Back to back, belly to belly, I don't give a damn, I done dead already . . .
