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.

Not only cars , but also moto and shop.. You really see la vie en rouge! :o)
There seems to be rouge wherever you look.
Bonjour,
Je suis très heureuse de vous retrouver après mon absence... Bien que mon retour se conjugue avec du travail en retard !!...
Effectivement je comprends que votre regard se soit suspendu aux nuances rouges de la rue... Une très belle capture photographique.
Gros bisous
Sweet!
Zooming rouge!!!!!! Love it --- I feel like I am zipping with them!
Une couleur de voiture qui attire l'oeil...des policiers.
I want to do my favorite kind of window shopping... look at the menu.
The restaurant, two cars, a moto (and a helmet): Your timing for rouge is impeccable, ma chère!
Oh. Do you like red?
The universe was smiling on you, V! If I saw this photo elsewhere, I'd think of you instantly.
Wow, tellement de rouge in one photo!!!
Wow! Stunning. It would stop me in my tracks too!
