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.

Vive la France ( et la Belgique... et les Etat-Unis bien sur! )
No fireworks here yesterday's night, the wind was incredibily too strong..But thank you for Happy July 14th!
Spectacular capture Virginia.
Oh la la—you've outdone yourself, V! I always yearn for Paris, but even more so on the 14 Juillet, so this a real treat.
The image on your blog header and today's spectacular capture say it all. Vive la France.
Wow! I would put that in a frame!
Love the new header! Thank you for thinking of France and your French friends on this special day! Veronique
Ah, la tour, always elegant!
God bless you!

Beautiful photo! As always. And your new header is absolutely wonderful! Happy Bastille Day to you too, Virginia. Your heart resides in France as well. :)
Fantastic, absolutely fantastic image Virginia!
Beautiful and glorious beyond the words. The gem in your incredible collection.
Thank you.

The lighting effects in this shot are truly magnificent.
We celebrated the 14th with crepes and orangina and talked about past trips to Provence.
Wow!!! Fabulous shot!!!
Merveilleux! La Tour, le feu d'artifice, la musique. Ah, que j'etais en France!
Oh my French loving friends, thank you for stopping by today to visit and see one of my most favorite Paris memories. Vive la France.

EIFFEL TOWER!
EIFFEL TOWER!!
EIFFEL TOWER!!!
Long live Virginia, the Queen of Paris!!!
Beautiful picture! I was in Paris on July 14th two years ago and managed to see neither the parade on the Champs Elysées nor the firworks.
I love your flag & the fireworks by the Eiffel! I celebrated the 14th by attending a French immersion day up the Maine coast yesterday...And, from your other post, I just want to say that you have inspired my desire to go to Paris in January some day...
That is definitely a sight I hope to see one day.
Stunning, exciting, alive...fantastic!
Fantastic, French, festive fireworks! Formidable!
