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.

Great photo! J´adore les fleurs dans la fenêtre! I also love the white shutters!
Pleasant view
Someone takes great pride in their window display.
I love to see the creative flower boxes, but why would soeone completely block their view and their access to their fresh air with all those flowers? It is a puzzle.
....yes, or chic in a shabby sort of way...
This is one of my faves, V ~ I love the muted walls, flaking shutters and and the flowers with their sweet and humble cheer.
Superbe photo avec romance et des fleurs!J'adore les détails!

Beautiful V! Very striking with the red and pink flowers.
... Quand les fleurs viennent nous dire bonjour, elles choisissent les fenêtres...
Une belle photo...
Gros bisous.
I guess they don't much use that fenêtre.
Oh, V, it's photos like this that make my heart do a cartwheel. What a special treat.
Whether you call it shabby or chic—I'll take it! Great shot, V.
It is kind of like looking at life through rose colored glasses...in this case a flower filled window...
I love this photo, love the shutters and the beautiful flowers.
Une fenêtre modeste peut devenir très belle lorsqu'elle est décorée par quelques fleurs, à Paris ou
à Venise !

So pretty Virginia. I love the colors of the flowers against the stone. Thanks!
j'adore
you know what I always find so remarkable ? here in Belgium, people would paint the shutters and only when the shutters are pico belle would they decorate w the geraniums
in Paris, it is the other way around... and they might never get to the paint job
bon weekend !

Very nice photo, it's been a while since I have been to Paris, your photo's are beautiful. I hear a calling for Paris building again...
I live nearby and I noticed this window so many times...your picture captures the beauty of it perfectly.
Isabella, Thank you so very much for your comment. I'm so happy when those that live in Paris appreciate my photographs. Last January, the window was not full of blooms but I hope it is now again.
