Yup, time for me to visit the optician again. I need to go back for a few posts to see if these are new photos from your current trip or from your archives.
Nice eye to notice the double twinings of the gate and take a photo through it. I hope you'll play along tomorrow with my Dreaming of France meme. Here’s my Dreaming of France meme
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.

You captured a dramatic scene in my favorite church in Paris. Merci, V.
In my memory, this church is very dark—but you've captured some wonderful light here, V. Bien fait!
Lovely, Virginia. Perfect for a Sunday morning.
Great shot of one of my favorite churches!
Interesting shot.
Gorgeous! So much warmth and texture.

Un peu de vin pour le petit déjeuner?
