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.

Actuellement, c'est plutôt une boite à prospectus.
On a bleu door? Simply parfait!
I love Alain's comment. It's true!
Your picture is wonderful, I like the mix of blue and red!

Virginia...who do you use for your apartment rentals? I've rented one for this September through HomeAway but am always looking for new sources. Would appreciate your information if you're willing to share with me.
Martha ...Armchair Travel with Martha
I love the contrast with the blue door. You framed it just right. For some reason, your link took me to your New Year's Day photo of the Eiffel Tower. Of course, I loved that too. Thanks for playing along. Here’s my Dreaming of France meme
I too like picturing mail boxes! they are promises of good stories.
Vive le bleu blanc et rouge !
Having any kind of mailbox!!! We have to go to the post office!!!
V,
Nothing could be nicer than a rouge post box. I'm in love with you're new header! It's gorgeous! And my header is a new one, one that you haven't seen before.
Too be honest If I had that address I'd be happy with any old mailbox. :-)
Of course you add your reflection to Weekend Reflections next week or any week.
Your photos have me chomping at the bit! I'm leaving next week but I won't get to Paris until March. I'll take a few special shots for you. :-)
James, a whole month? Ohhhhhhh my goodness how nice. I can't wait to see your fine photos.

Virginia...good to hear from you...my email is: marthajans@gmail.com
You are my daily fix of all things Paris...thanks so much for never missing a day! Martha
Wish we can have one of these !
I first had to get over my envy of James's upcoming looong time away before I could say that the red is perfect—especially against that Tiffany blue door!
Is a rouge mailbox really better that a bleu, jaune or vert one? Just protect me from the bills.
Simple, but beautiful!
Lovely.
This captivates me in so many ways!
