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.

V,
What a warm and inviting looking cafe, would love to be inside!
This is a great shot! I adore the cafe settings in Paris...they definitely deserve a category of their own!
This looks very familiar.
A great evocative image. Bisous
Well I guess you are now on your way here. ... and you had sufficient stock of photos to keep until now! Bravo!!
My first thought was also "cozy"—especially knowing what the weather is like in Paris right now. Keep warm, V!
Outside in the chill, looking into the warmth. Have a great trip!
