Another very atmospheric image Virginia and parfait for Pasques. Just looked at your photographs "Reading in Paris" and they are delightful...a set, framed for a reading room, would look wonderful.
Love every single one of the 'reading' images, it's such a wonderful way to spend 5, 10 or many more spare minutes. Can you recommend any fiction books set in Paris and written in English Virginia. It's been a while since I've read a French tale!!
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.

A perfect photo posting for today, Good Friday, V de B!
I'm participating in a Crosswalk at 10 am today...
Happy Easter to you and yours
A glorious cross for Good Friday and a wonderful memory of that cold January day with you, Owen, la Grenouille, Peter and Holly!
You do seem to spend a lot of time in cemeteries.
A great image. I have spent days walking through French cemeteries and particularly love those in Paris.
Have a safe and happy Easter.
Alain, enfin oui!!!
Starman, I'm so glad to find you here again and hopefully feeling much better my friend.
Leif, look forward to your photos from the cross walk in Eagan.

for some reason it reminded of the moment on La Vie en Rose when she asks for her croix :)
