Love the color of the leaves as the backdrop for this empty bench. I know that feeling that grips one's heart when it is the "last day in Paris". Safe travels home.
Thank you all for your dear comments w hile I"ve been away. Now that I'm home on my computer, I will be able to include some text with my photos. That might have been a French glitch that prevented it in Paris. V

This little photo op in the place Goldoni is just one of the many, many delicious memories I'm carrying with me of our walks around Paris—all 46.69 miles of them! Glad you made it all the way home, V --
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.

There should never be a last day in Paris, just the one before the next day in Paris!
I agree with the comment above - never a last day in Paris. I so wish I was sitting on that bench right now.
That's a good one for eavesdropping, eheheheh...
God bless you!

The bench is waiting for your return. Will it be bathed in the dappled light of summer on your next visit?
Warm regards, Elizabeth
