Peter, That's all I needed....another type of wine to appreciate. I have another shot of our lunch table I'll post soon. That was some very nice vin rouge!
Bob, Wish Peter and I could have shared a glass with you and Mrs. C!
Maya, I wish!
Katie, Lots of nice window shopping at the Palais Royal! Ohhhlala
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.

Also getting more and more adicted to redwine? :-)
Ah, painting the town rouge I see!
Terrific essay and, yes, thank you, I'll have one of those glasses of wine. The top picture makes me think of the thrusters of a huge rocket.
Love all the rouge! And I'll have that stripped dress on the left please.

Rouge! You do love it and it shows.
I believe that is my breast in the wine photo!!! LOL - that was a damn damp day in Paris...but I loved every second!

One of my favorite colors too ... love the cafe tables
If I didn't already love Paris, your pictures would certainly tip the balance.
I am ready for any of those red chairs outdoors, people watching with une cafe noir.
