Marly le Roi, France
Today's photo is my Paris travel amie, Mary Gilbert. About a year ago she started carrying a little Nikon point and shoot and has captured some very nice shots. She has a great eye. I think I created a monster. Now as you can see, SHE'S the one lagging behind taking photos instead of me!!
Très clean. A Marly, visiblement, on attend toujours plus ou moins le passage du roi.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back safe. It was such a pleasure to meet you and Mary this week.
ReplyDeleteAs we say in french, "l'elève depasse le maître" parfois! :o)
ReplyDeleteVery nice and pretty street!
No better monsters than photography monsters! Love the narrow winding streets.
ReplyDeleteI have many role models: Virg, Peter, Eric, Richard, Genie, Carla, Meredith, MicheleH, Owen, SteveT, SteveK, Daryl, JB, Nicola, Ronice, Jane and all of the Instagrammers...merci Virg for the honor today and merci Nicky for making our "beyond the peripherique adventure" possible.
ReplyDeleteBon WE
Welcome back, my friend! And thanks for keeping us in the loop while you were gone!
ReplyDeleteI do so love this. Such a beautiful street, and those cobbles. Oh those cobbles. I have also so loved seeing Mary's wonderful smile in your photos. And yours ...
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, V—and I'll bet Mary loves it too. So when can we look forward to her blog? :~}
ReplyDelete(And merci for taking me back to Marly!)
Welcome home. Mary's photo is great!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, sweet Virginia. I'm sure the trip was wonderful. I look forward to seeing your work. Work? Hell, it wasn't work, but it sounds weird saying I look forward to seeing your fun.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, V! My very old Nikon still manages to do a great job ~ I'll probably just get the newest model when I go to replace it! {But with a viewfinder ~ I haven't forgotten your recommendation.} Mary does look like she's enjoying herself ~ I love the atmosphere you've captured here, my sweet. Hugs to you and Meepsie.
ReplyDeleteThe whole city is a confection. Who could imagine a little street like this anywhere in the US?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the photos! I'm glad you had a good time (duh)!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home Virginia, hope the assignment went well.. Your photos while you were away were fabulous. I'm hoping to visit Paris this year, can't wait.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to all your new photos. I can't wait until "I'm home" for me means that I'm in France
ReplyDeleteMary may be the one lagging behind taking photos, but you were the one who captured this great photo! Can't wait to hear more details about your trip!
ReplyDeleteThis street looks great. Is Marly Le Roi worth a visit?
ReplyDeleteThis is great - I love it. So charming steet :D
ReplyDeleteStreet ;D
ReplyDeleteWe spent 3 weeks in Paris over the holidays and only went on 2 day trips - to Chartres and to Marly Le Roi! I took a TON of photos. As I go through the editing process, I wonder how quickly I can get back to Paris. BTW, you are one of my photography inspirations! I learn so much from reviewing your photos. Your blog is wonderful.
ReplyDeletebobbi,
ReplyDeleteChartres was on my list of a possible day trip as well! I feel the same way about my photos, good or bad. They all bring back a very special memory and I can look at them over and over. Thank you for leaving a comment.

A delightful capture. The gently winding, cobble-stoned street -with its wealth of quaint, eye-catching and unique photo opportunities, is charming. So much to see and do, it's not surprising you've had so many trips to Paris! Thanks for sharing.
