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.

The thing is, Virginia, even their cheap wine is good. :)
I agree, but the cheap wine when arrive in Asia becomes very expensive !
I have the tire-bouchon and wish to offer a toast to you on this special day!
Bon anniversaire, Virginia!!!
Bises,
Genie
As I recall, wine prices were lower in Paris than in the States...or maybe I drank too much and can't remember right? ;-)
I don't know what to tell you: maybe hop on your horse and get to an airport and fly back to Paris?
We'd love to go back, too, and hope that happens 'ere long.
Happy Birthday gorgeous! I wish you were here I have a lovely Malbec to share
Birthday Girl -- they will pull the cork for you, recork it and off you go to enjoy your vin --- I will drink a toast to you and pretend we are all together in Jardin de Luxembourg!!
Ginnie, Bien sûr!
Marie and Genie, Oh that we were together today doing just that.
Wong,
HA, that happens a lot!
Daryl,
I'm on my way!
Jacob,
Don't we both wish we were there celebrating my birthday.
I began immediately singing "Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee," though Jerry Lee wasn't singing about this good stuff! I'll lend you my extra-special tire-bouchon (gift from the city of Bordeaux) and let's toast to your birthday. Bon anniversaire, ma chere!
Happy birthday to the Queen of Paris!!!!!
Bon anniversaire, Ma Chere!!!
(Does it count as plagiarism when one copies a translation of Happy Birthday???)
Now I want a glass of wine....Barb
Happy Birthday V! I'm drinking some French Muscadet right now to celebrate both this great photo and your special day. Cheers!
Merci to all of my dear friends who have stopped by today to wish me a joyeux anniversaire. You are just the best!
V
Bonne Fête, V! Live it up 'til you can't live it down. :-)
