I like this photo. Lots of "atmosphere..." It is special to look at the Old Lady through tree branches... a different perspective. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Wonderful photo. I am just now catching up on your photos after my trip to Paris and re-grouping here at home. The atmosphere of your photo is certainly appropriate for October in Paris and makes me wish that I could have stayed longer!
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.

Love the feel of winter in this photo - joyeux anniversaire, ma chère amie!
The leaves that are still on the trees look like they are painted on and add a beautiful pop of color to your photo. :)
You're obviously a glass-half-full person, V. Have a bon anniversaire, ma chère!
I hope your birthday is going well!!
so lovely .. i adore naked or almost naked tree limbs, they are so poetic reaching up to the sky ...
Beautiful!
Hi Virginia, the bare trees make for a very artistic view!
