I realize that Paris could use some much needed rain right now, but you'll have to excuse my enthusiasm for a day when la tour is bathed in sunshine against a gorgeous blue sky. It doesn't happen all that often when I'm there. ( Yes, I know if I went at better times of the year my chances would improve!)

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.

Love it Virginia, can just see peeks of greenery from the eatery on the first level. The sky looks perfect.
LOVE the new title pic.
She´s sooooo beautiful! Great sky! I love the new title picture! It´s sooo Paris!
Ah! La Tour is always elegant and beautiful but on a clear day with the back-drop of blue skies with her lacey columns reaching up into that azure blue - well! that is pure magic. Can you imagine Paris without her?
It's hard to go past that view, Virginia. And I love your new blog header, too. The way you've placed the wording. And the colour of the wording. And... the pastry.
The sky seems to have adapted to ths shape of Tower! :-)
The formation of the cloudscapes form a good composition !
Ahhhh, she's such a beauty! C'est formidable!
I agree with Peter. Looks like the tower is altering the weather. Great shot...and your new header is fab!
The Tower looks terrific from any angle in any weather at any time of day. Aren't you glad that they abandoned the original plan to remove it after the fair?
I'm glad you like my header photo. This was taken at Janeen's fabulous flat where we stayed last January. I thought the cups were fun and of course the pain au chocolat divine !:)
I agree that la Tour IS Paris. I never tire of standing beneath her and looking up. :

ToonMan had on the French Open and it was raining on Saturday .. lovely shot
Do you know I went to Paris three times before I visited la Tour. This shot is magnifique.
I love the new banner!
this is exactly Paris!
I love how the clouds gather around la tour,more at the top.
Also,thank you for your appreciations ;)
The tour is always a treat, even without such a sky as backdrop—but with it?! Oh la la, ma chere! (And I love your new header too.)
Love the clouds behind La Tour!!! A perfect setting for her! And I love the new header too!!
Hi Virginia,
It was lovely to discover your blog and many thanks for visiting me.
Your photographs are wonderful and isn't the Eiffel tower such a magnificent structure.
Happy week
Carolyn
I love your new header photo. About visiting at better times of the year - after much internal debate, I just opted for a cheaper November stay instead of a pricy good-weather trip in September.
Paris!!! Thanks for sharing this photo. It is my dream to travel to Europe for my 50th birthday. This photo shows me what I will me missing if I don't go!
