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.

I know this statue and must agree with you. Warm regards.
Afin que la sérénité règne...
Belle capture photographique.
Gros bisous
So serene. Nicely captured, V!
She is indeed incredibly beautiful. Lovely, V.
Exquisite piece of art.. Perfect photo of her.. I love the angle.
She is heavenly.
Wishing you a beautiful day Virginia
Beautiful!
Lovely, indeed.
Maybe the statue is of the person whose grave she adorns.
She is pretty realistic, not an idealized woman. I wonder if Paulita is right, i.e., this is a portrait of the woman in this grave.
Possibly Mary however I agree, beautiful beyond!
All the Best

Un ange bien en chair.
