As we stood listening to theharpist, I turned and spotted this couple framed in the archway. My Paris moment continues. Come back tomorrow for the end of the story!
I have been meandering through your photographs . . . magnificent, simply magnificent. Thank you for making Paris so real to me. I hold a place in my heart for that city, and the only reason is because as a child I always dreamed of going there and setting up my easel along a sidewalk somewhere in the city. Old dreams dye hard. Thanks to you I can go there whenever I please. I feel blessed to be following your blog. Connie :)
Fabulous image V. The lamp lined street framed by the archway is a wonderfully composed. The bicycle leaning on the lamp post and the couple strolling into the distance is the perfect Paris image. Bravo!
I hope I get to hear that harpist Virginia...and yes, this photo, framed by the archway, is gorgeous. Look forward to the end of your story. A bientot.
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.
