you know what is funny ? flowers which seem to freeze in winter in brussels, survive in paris.. how do you explain that? could they be plastic like your red bench?
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, part-time painter, lover of all things French ( whose français is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic art museum volunteer, grateful 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". My 2008 trip I looked at Paris with a different 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. I was thrilled to return to Paris and the French countryside in June and July of 2009, and blogged daily while there. I've returned to the city I love in January and June- 2010 , January 2011 and January 2012! Each time I visit, it feels more and more like home, and I discover new and interesting things with each trip. I cherish the time with my Paris friends as well as the friends that always join me there. 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.

And just that little touch of green makes all the world of difference.
Il est presque normal de voir une aussi belle façade tout près d'"EDEN"... Un véritable paradis parisien!...
Gros bisous
Some of the green reamins the year around, but of course especially the nice street-lamps! :-)
Very nice capture!! I love greened up windows, especially French windows with their wrought-iron decorations, and lanterns.
pretty light

The inclination of this picture (and the wall itself?) is quite interesting...
God bless you!

Somehow, Paris always seems to look great in any month. I love how the ivy trails down the window boxes. Great photo!
You are pretty well along in proving that there is not a 'bad' month to see Paris. She's beautiful all year long.
I am surprised that ivy is thriving [sic] in January. I would have thought that Paris gets cold enough winters to scald it.
Can't ever have enought lanterns... !
Toujours, ma chere -- and you capture her so beautifully!
Your images of Paris make «Louis» wish he once again lived there...
I love the hanging plants adding green to the facade!
Bon mardi 'a toi, V de B!
Love the windows in Paris! Always look forward to what you have coming next!
