Virginia, I live vicariously through your posts every day, but the fact that you're actually IN PARIS RIGHT NOW makes it all so much more fun! My husband and I were there a year and a half ago and these pictures bring back such sweet memories.
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.

Beautiful. It looks cold and snowy. I'm so jealous but seeing my favorite place vicariously through your pics and posts.

The branches are so stark against that lovely sky. I'm glad you arrived safely. Enjoy.

I love this shot V. So very French. I hope you are enjoying every moment in the City of Lights.
Thank you all for your comments. I can't post any text with my photos here for some reason, so I'm trying to choose places you will recognize..
