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.

Oh I did do that walk last year, with my daughter on the way back to Hotel Regina! Ah good times. I just love Francoise Hardy, for such a long time.Thanks for bringing back such great memories Virginia.

Time to go to sleep ... lights out!

Daryl, I wish I could lay my head down in Paris right now.
Perth,
Oh the rue de RIvoli is such a magical street, overlooking the Louvre and Tuileries. Sigh
Léla, yes everything about Paris at night is romantic.
Brittany, moi aussi! :)
I love the European lampposts. Nicely captured. One can feel the atmosphere.
So romantic, those Parisian lampposts! Le grand sigh.
I am behind on my commenting!!
This is a very romantic photo!
I Love the last two posts as well...those beautiful geraniums say French to me and that photo of the children's field trip brought back special memories for me!!
Midnight in Paris, indeed! At least you did not get kicked off the Metro this night! This time last year, we were THERE!
Bises,
Genie
Genie, I've thought about that many times. Oui, this time last year we were seeing Paris together for the first time but I hope not the last.

I love the mood in this shot! I also like the memories it brings.
I love the sounds that you are using so that now I stay on the photo until the song is finished. Thanks for making my evenings so enjoyable.
