Wow! Fresh soft churned butter brings back memories of growing up on an Illinois farm in the depression. That was before margarine was invented. The chore of making butter with a hand-cranked churn was not fun, but the taste was so good
Moi aussi! You captured the pleasure, visual & of the memory of smell & taste. I believe Matisse once said something about the senses being everything!
Do you know, I can still recollect the taste of French butter from when I was a child of 9... I've never tasted anything as delicious since. Love the pic!
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.
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.

Great shot, V. I agree with Pierre: Beurre demi-sel it is, pour moi! :-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

I'm going to have to pay attention to French butter. I should have known there's would be better than the butter at home.
J'adore! X10
