Isn't there a poem about roses in the churchyard. Wait, maybe that was lilacs in the dooryard. Actually, this photo is itself a poem about roses in the churchyard. Beautiful, V!
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.

Le sacristain de St Médard doit aimer jardiner.
Now there's a welcome site V. Spring in bloom. It's turned decidedly arctic down here in Melbourne.
Beautiful!! "C'est le temps que tu as perdu pour ta rose qui fait ta rose si importante"

Reminds me of the rose garden at Jardin LeCoq, our local park when we lived overseas... Thanks for the beautiful flashback.
Simply beautiful. Divine!
I know you did not capture this beauty on your last trip, but does it matter?
c'est magnifique
Those flat-faced roses aren't my favorites. I like floribundas and hybrid teas.
Alain, perhaps there's a gardener!
Anni, no this was taken in late May 2009. You know I have to dig deep and often!
So beautiful!!!
