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 would content myself with a balcony or terrace in Paris...
A very beautyful quote with a very beautyful picture!
Quelle belle capture photographique...
Si je n'avais pas de jardin et si je vivais à Paris je voudrais bien avoir ce clin d'oeil de ma fenêtre...
Gros bisous
Congratulations Virginia......I see you've got something wonderful coming from French Essence....fantastique!
A beautiful location. Looks like a painting.
tres jolie
So lovely!!
Is this a prelude to a garden series (one hopes)?
So pretty. Our roses don't bloom for another month. Why don't lovely poetic thoughts like that come to my pragmatic mind?
Gardens are too much work. I'd rather let the professionals do it and then I can just sit and admire their efforts.
Of course, no need for Colette to envy those with their own garden (or even to invent one!) considering her apartment looked out on the gorgeous gardens of the Palais Royal. This is a beautiful image, V!
This is so pretty that I don't even have words for it.
Picture perfect image V...With only my small balcony, this makes up for the lack of a garden.
Congratulations on your wonderful win Virginia! Oh how I will envy you and those linens :)
As you know this is one of my all time favorite of your photos! I keep the calendar with your photos open to this very page. So beautiful.....
Gorgeous! And there was, and hasn't been since, anyone quite like Colette. :)
