What a treat meeting Meredith. I must have a peek at ehr book. My obsession is still very much alive and well. - about Paris that is.
It's a beautiful capture V. Worth the wait.
I don't imagine you find waiting around in Paris a hardship, dear V. This is lovely.
How fantastic Virginia that they happened along, I have an image of you poised for action haha! As Shell Sherree pointed out waiting around in Paris is no hardship!!
Timing is everything! Sometimes the difference of a few seconds can really make or break a great photo! This is a wonderful photo made even better with the father and his son!
Tres bien fait, Madame V!
Well worth the wait! The human touch adds so much to this image. Excellent!
C'est vrai!
This is the quintessential Paris!
Bonjour, Virginie!
Je suis ravie que vous ayez venue chez moi ce matin!
I am so pleased, so happy to make your acquaintance dear colleague. I too am a practicing fourth grade teacher in a French immersion school where I teach all subjects in French and also teach English language arts. Oh how you would have enjoyed my Paris Link party back in May I believe; we hooked up with many bloggers who love PARIS and I see you are one of them! Your photography is STUNNING and Meredith's philosophy of waiting for the moment rings true to me. Though I am NOT a photographer, I am a wannabe poet and after basking in the likes of Mary Oliver and Nancy Willard this summer, I see I have a lot of "WAITING FOR THE MOMENT" to do.
How wonderful that you came by and left a message! I am joining your blog and am eager to see more of your MOMENTS in FRENCH....
Bonne journée ma nouvelle amie!

I can't understand the title for this image. Interesting framework
You do these vertical shots so well.
Is there a way to get the Françoise Hardy music working again?
Every corner of Paris is an opportunity for another beautiful photograph.

OH I JUST SAW YOU ON PARISIAN SALON!!! YEAH! Bravo, ma belle! Anita
Great advice from Meredith and a lesson in patience bien sûr! Glad you "waited"... you did, of course? You didn't take 5 shots quickly while waiting? (just kidding)
It is a very nice moment you captured. I have wondered how Genie and you and the others in your clan manage to take so many photos and still savor the environment. Now I see that you recognize the problem.
