Riding the ponies at Luxembourg Gardens was a very special time for my Eva and Davis. The "pony man" was very kind.

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.

Looks like he is asking how she enjoys the ride of pony!
Oh my goodness! Just yesterday I was sorting images on my computer, and there was the exact same " pony man" taking my daughter( then aged 5) for a walk on the ponies down the lane in Luxenbourg gardens! Our image shows him with the lead in one hand, holding several ponies together, and deep in conversation with a friend accompaning him. It is good to see he is still there. It has been three years since we were there. Colette x
You caught the moment perfectly!
What a wonderful photo! :)
And how wonderful that you were there to capture this moment, V! I think it would be very nice to have this man's job.
Excellent photo, Virginia. You caught him so nicely, as he leans in to talk with the children.
Delightful image, and I have to say Virginia your Eva has already got that very French 'air' about her, they are both gorgeous.
You have a unique talent of capturing life as it is with your camera. I hope you continue taking amazing shots.
