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.

Magnificent!The reflections are perfect and I love the symmetry as well!

I have many childhood memories with those boats.. Great pictures!
Ohhh!! I love this one V. Fabulous perspective with the boats carrying the eye into the photograph with each boat diminishing in size. The repetition of subject is terrific and seems so complete in three, one more would be two many, one less to few. And the crispness of the reflection makes feel the cool spring air. Bravo V. An artwork.
Jamais très stables, mais ô combien romantiques...
Great scene.
That is a photo so fabulous that Monet might have painted the scene.
This is one of about 10 photographs I took of the boats that day. This particular shot was one I had not even looked at. Glad I hadn't deleted it!

Alain, oui. Faire attention!

That looks quite lovely! I think I'll hop on!
A lovely shot, straight out of a Monet painting...
Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Oh la la—what a gorgeous composition, V!
I like the color of the insides of the boats, even though I probably see it differently from the others.
A really magical capture
"All Things French"
You had me thinking of Monet too, V. It could be an oil painting. Beautiful.
I LOVE this....please transport me there now~
Very pretty, Virginia. I looked at some canoe, kayak and boat photos yesterday when I was thinking about what photos to show in the coming days. But, I didn't choose one. Maybe I should go back and look again.
What a pretty shot.
Oh, what a beautiful photo! I love the quiet atmosphere in it.
Superbe!
Nice shot!!! There's a South Pasadena artist who would paint this one in a minute!!!
