Dear Virginia...whenever I yearn for a glimpse of Paris...I open your blog and dream. You are so good about putting a new photo every day...wish I could do that. My New Years Resolution is to do something every day. We're busy planning a trip for August that will end in Paris in September where we'll stay for several weeks. Can't wait! Merry Christmas and a blessed 2013. You might enjoy the photos of our little boat parade that I posted recently at http://marthajans@blogspot.com/
Merry Christmas to you, Virginia. Your photos have given me lots of happiness in this last year. :) I love the hanging Santa. And i love the bonus of the magnificent French window and shutters..
I adore seeing your photos each day of my favorite city that I have only been able to visit one time. Each photo reminds me of that most precious trip with my oldest son. The little Santa is such a perfect touch for this time of year that displays the whimsy and fun that is all about LOVE. Your photos are touching on many levels. Thank you.
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.
