Scooters seem to be the preferred mode of travel for the children of Paris. I'm always amused to see adults using them as well. Of course it wasn't the scooter that caught me eye, it was le petit garçon's glorious curls!
Yesterday I flew through Zurich, and one of the passengers had a carry-on bag with a folding scooter built into it. She just folded it down and scooted off ahead of the rest of us.
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.

A beautiful moment... and you are right... beautiful locks!
You see a lot of those here too.
Girls with curls always want straight hair—and vice versa. I'm guessing boys don't even think about it (but he's lucky all the same)!
Bonjour,
Une très jolie photo de cet enfant aux cheveux bouclés... L'une de mes filles est aussi bouclée !!
Gros bisous ❁
You can have the curls. I want his scooter.
