About Me

- 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.
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 am looking back in time.
Perfect, perfect, perfect. Oh I so love this shot, Virginia. Those buildings are amazing, ditto Madame and her chien.
Those old alleyways can so much tell. Great photo. Lucka
The half-timbered houses remind «Louis» of the last two remaining half-timbered houses in Paris on rue François Miron in the 4 ième.
Very fine image, Virginia.
Oh to step those cobblestoned alleyways, great photo xD
I see why no words were required, Virginia! This is stunning, and I love that the tones ~ her hair, apron, and the puppy ~ all match so beautifully with the architecture!!
The street and the houses looks very old...
Great shot and scene...
Greetings
Yvi
What a wonderful picture! I love how her clothes match the surroundings, that she's out in her slippers and apron, that her skirt is slightly billowing behind her as she walks her little dog. The light, the hues, the windows, the doors, the lines...all just delightful!
Oh V .. this is superb. Scrolling down past the rooftop, the windows, the ancientness of that building to find that woman and the dog .. I love it and I could do this all day ... its just one of my favorites of all your Paris photos and I have loved many of them... but this .. ''knocks me up'' as someone I know once mis-said so fabulously ...
The colors/tones in this photo are perfect. A movie director could not have created a more perfect scene --- perhaps some people are just in touch with the colors around them and respond appropriately???
And then certain photographers have the eye to see it and capture it! Merci.
Ditto to all the above!!! Aren't you clever to find that woman and dress her up like that!!!
What a gorgeous shot Virginia! Joigny reminds me of Provins, a sweet city not far from Paris.
Nadege, I visited Provins twice last summer. I have some photos from there on this blog!

Daryl,
"Knocks me up" is hilarious. I'm surprise I didn't say it first!HA
Merci everyone, I need to post more photos from the countryside of France I see!
This is fantastic. I love the old buildings, the colors, the ambience.
It looks as if she wanted to enjoy some sunshine and walk Tiny, so she stepped away from her little kitchen where the aroma of her dinner cooking can be enjoyed by the people walking by on the street. I love dreaming up scenarios to go with the pictures!
Here's a site every Paris lover will enjoy:

wonderful....Barb
I like this a lot. The half timber reminds me of Rouen. I thinks Joigny is a short train ride from Gare de Bercy. I might have to check it out myself.
Those buildings are amazing, ditto Madame and her chien.
work at home in india
It truly is another world. I love these ancient villages in France!
If there ever was a perfect photo, this is it. The lighting, the focus, the movement....love everything about this one!
Steviewren,
Thank you so much. You know it's funny, sometimes the photographs that don't grab me immediately turn out to be ones that I find so special later. I'm glad you liked it as well. Merci!
