and I'm off with mon amie Mary today. I've packed 10GB's, so SURELY that will be enough to capture Paris for all of us! While in Paris, we'll be joined by Genie ( Paris and Beyond), her daughter Holly, and many, many dear Paris friends. I promise to share all my memories upon my return. À bientôt!

About Me
- Virginia
- Birmingham, AL, United States
- 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.

I'm a tad green with envy.....another trip to Paris AND with Genie! Wish I could join you.

Ugh I'm so JEALOUS! Have fun for me! Take lots and lots of gorgeous photos, like you always do :)
How wonderful to be off to Paris. Give her my love and tell her to expect me next year.
Bon voyage, V de B! I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time 'a Paris!
Feeling the excitement of that early morning arrival in Paris!
Bon voyage to you all. Stay in touch, will you? Hugs to Paris -and France- from this French Girl in Seattle. Veronique
Bon voyage, dear Virginia !!!
I wish you sunny days for the best shots, mild weather and warm friendly dinners.
Have you packed a few wool foulards? You'll have a great time in a lovely company.
Keep batteries charged.
All the very best to you and your friends.

Enjoy Paris, Genie and Virginia! Have a wonderful time! Say hello to Eric and Laurent, Peter...
Have a nice trip!et " Bienvenue en France" !
Safe travels! You are there the same time as my boss and two co-workers. Although, their trip will be much less interesting, I'm sure of it. I couldn't imgine going to Paris on business. What would I possibly get done?
I'm also green with envy, but still wishing all of you a wonderful visit—with Paris and each other! (And please tell me you bought this ET for your collection.)
Bonsoir! I made it to Cincinnati via Detroit with mech probs in B'ham and a mad dash to the connecting flight in Detroit but i made it. I'm heading to bed early tonight. Big day tomorrow.

Bon voyage, Virginia. Have a great trip!
