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.

Lovely flowers at the windows, we can't have them like that ...
Nice pic but what I really like most today is the header photo with "Paris through my lens" on the cup... :)
God bless you!
Cezar
Waiting up every morning and looking out that geranium clad window was a blessing! Lovely photo, Madame V!
What a pretty sight - touches of red and the grey mansard roof. Very easy on the eye!
I would love to water these geraniums myself (which would mean that I live in the apartment)...
What an ideal apartment window! I am starting to feel like red is the colour of Paris! You know, red cafe awnings, red coffee cups? And now these pretty flowers..
Brittany,
Oui, I think ROUGE is the color of Paris you know.
Vreni, It was truly the best to be there for 3 weeks that summer.
Dianne,
Merci
Leif, a blessing indeed and right past the flowers we had the amazing view of the Val de Grace dome!
Cezar, I'm glad you like my header. It was fun doing it.
Wong, I guess geraniums don't grow in your area. :(
belle vue sur les de beaux immeubles Parisiens avec de jolies fleurs!
So charming...missing Paris today!
Geraniums are a favorite and I like to add sprigs of other plants/ flowers to the posts!

I have an amazing Giveaway from the Artisans at Novica. You will love it!
Geraniums are my favorite...and easy to care for. The French music adds a nice touch...Thank you!
Love the red geraniums!!! My mother always had that same red geranium and white ones on our back porch!!!
I think you might not have seen the flowers across the street from our apartment in the 17e.

To start, the header photo is great. I really think that patisserie needs to have cups made with your logo!
The music is great --- lovely songs, lovely voice...very nice to listen to as I'm catching up on a week of photos. Such great variety. I definitely like the color in the photo on the quai. And what a lovely view you had from that apartment. Waking up to the curly-q's in the iron work and the red geraniums would make every day a special day in Paris.
And she did an excellent job, clearly!
You've done it again--made me want to be there NOW!!
This is so nice, Virginia. A wonderful sight to begin the dya.
I wish I was in that apartment right now! I really like your header photo.
