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.

A classic image of classic architecture.
L'heure est aux économies, même dans le V° arrondissement.

Oh it looks gorgeous ... Beautiful big red bows are just perfect for that majestic building.

belle journée!
Lovely photo. I'd never thought that they might decorate the Pantheon. I really must get to Paris for Christmas one year.
You made a very beautyful picture of this classical monument! I like the way you framed it!
I was just in Paris myself and miss it already! So lovely at this time of year with the tasteful decorations . . .
Perfect! No need to gild the lily, n'est-ce pas?
One of my favorites.
I love your composition on this photo. I walked past the Pantheon in October but it now seems like a dream........
A new, festive and less serious view on this impressive building...
