About Me

- 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.

Oh I love this, great shot.
You spotted the colours well in this one Virginia.
Why didn't you pose on the velo rouge, V de B?!
The red coat just completes this image for me. Makes me want to hop a plane right now - I miss Paris!
I'm so in love with Hector Guimard's Metro. One glimpse at your image - and I'm back there, instantly. Red bike is a great.
Thank you Virginia.

Superbe! Très Parisien. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Parfait!! So Paris, gorgeous find Virginia.
bien vu !!! brav !!!
Why do we like bikes so much, Maybe because they're the last means of adventure inn towns?..
good eye to catch the red bike and the grading ... I love the iron work in Paris, its such a beautiful city...
:D!! And a happy sigh..
Hi Virginia,
I love the red bike, alongside the fabulous art nouveau ironwork, of the Metro.
Happy week
Carolyn
It's as though someone left it there just for you, V. And the lady in the red coat—was that just serendipity?
Right time, right place and the right photographer = perfection! Francesca x
Also love the yummy color of green that the ironwork is painted. Great photo!
This image looks so familiar. Did you post it before? Or maybe it's come to life right out of my dreams. Either way, it's faboo!
It's a Paris dream, Suzy, that must be it.
Thanks everyone. I"ve had a really, reallly long day working the voting here. Whew! I'm glad you like the velo and the lady with the red coat was a happy surprise I didn't know I got!

This is definitely my kind of thing. The art nouveau metro? Check. Bicycle? Check. Red? Check. Well composed Check.
Love the red bike against the metro design! Just love all your photos!
