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 LOVE this perspective! And the colors of the street and sidewalk...the atmosphere is perfect.
Great! Your friend would really come in handy during this past week here in Paris!
The rainy atmosphere is perfect, a complete street shot! :)
Were you just singing in the rain? Lovely Parisian sidewalk scene!
I'm convinced there are no bad shots of Paris, excellent 'feel like you're there' shot Virginia.
I always love the shots of wet cobblestones in Paris, and this has the bonus of un parapluie violet!
A sad day because of rain no?
Keep going :)
Nothing more romantic than Paris under rain..(sigh:)
Une petite colchique dans Paris...
Gros bisous.
Paris colors at their best through your lens Virginia.

I like the idea of a purple umbrella! Your perspective is very nice here.
Seen through your "love lens," V, Paris always looks her best!
It looks like a picture in a storybook.
You are one very clever lady - I love. Showers in Paris - perfect. X
Even in the rain Paris is gorgeous and romantic!
Even in the rain this scene is inviting. Let's toss the umbrella aside and do an Astaire and Rogers right here.
looks like a sun shower!
Oui-c'est mon parapluie...was that June 2010 or 2009? Can't wait for Jan!!!
That was June o9 the same day as the famous shot of you walking with your umbrella in the rain!
