Les fleurs éternelles

Every cemetery I've visited in Paris has these lovely porcelain flower remembrances. Some are wreaths, some crosses, always beautiful. As they are exposed to the elements, their patina gets even richer. Often, as here, tiny moss begins to grow amongst the petals.

Paris je t'aime
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.

I visited in 09 but was still with my husband at the time who was spiraling out of control with addiction and mental illness. While distracted, I was still able to appreciate and enjoy the city. I cannot wait to return and visit with a healthy person or just by myself so that I can embrace it entirely. Thank you for the sweet daily reminders of the city I love so much.
What a lovely sight that makes.
