On a cold January day after ice skating at the Hôtel de Ville, what could be better than a warm gaufre avec Nutella?? I will admit, I almost grabbed it out of his hand!!!
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.

Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist.
Starman, no just a kid enjoying the skating!
Personally, I'd probably go for some grog. :~} But, yes, miam! (And what a beautiful child)
What a face! I love the bits of chocolate around his mouth! Fabulous personality study. I wonder what he was looking at!
A good portrait!
I don't know... Looking at his face, it looks more like "Nutella... and a gauffre" to me... :-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
