I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and 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". 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.

One of my all time favourite places... I know this sign SO well. Beautiful photo F xx
The texture on the wall looks very poetic
loove those colours and textures!!!
have a nice weekend!
It should be a destination for anyone arriving in Paris. I could people watch all day surrounded in it's beauty.
A long, long time, I expect. One of the most beautiful spots in Paris...
This photo is deceptively simple, V—but it speaks volumes to me! (And I love the repetition of shapes.)
Very nice photo. I like the angles!
Actually, it looks rather recent.
I think it's been there since the Hunchback dwelled in the basement of Notre Dame. It's beautiful Genie.
Ahhh Joe. I had to go back and look. I think you are lost... :)
Great photo! I love the colors in the sign. I wish I had a smaller version to hang on my wall. :)
Très bon choix Virginia, qui ne rêverait pas d'être là un beau matin ou à un autre moment de la journée ?
