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.

What a lovely door and where does it lead........
Stunning doors. I hope there is a secret garden beyond.
Je trouve votre photo magnifique et apporte à cette porte quelque chose de très précieux.
gros bisous
What a beautiful door and I love that plant inside.
I would love a house with these doors!!!
I loved those chalk board signs from yesterday's post. What is it about chalkboard's that everyone seems to love?
For a final resting place, one could do a whole lot worse than this! Beautiful shot, V --
Beautiful entrance into the cemetery and a gorgeous door that I wouldn't mind having as my front door! I think this is a beautiful photo and has a quiet and serene feeling to it.
Reminds me of this by Alexander Graham Bell"
"When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us."
Beautiful photo.

Beautiful doors with a patina and a glimpse into the darkness... love the touch of green.
Oh I love your comments every single day but today, I've been inspired by what you each saw in this photograph. As a photographer that is the highest compliment, when my viewers see beyond the image.

I love your blog!!! I absolutely love your photos!
Stunning! like Joe said - I hope there is a Secret garden beyond . . .
aging with grace ...
Sometimes there is nothing to see behind these more or less closed doors, sometimes there are some very good surprises...! :-)
What a gorgeous shot! I love the doors, and the cyclamen.
