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.

Ah ! what a place to be chillin .... Bewdiful!
felling so much fresher already!
great shot :)
bisous
I'd like to step right into that picture and stay there till September!
Wish I could be there with enough time to just sit and enjoy!
Love the poster for the Generation Gap!! One generation sitting gazing at the open wonders of nature the other generation head down eyes clued on a narrow man made computer screen oblivious to his surroundings.
What Angele Style said. That kid might know how to chill, but not how to commune with nature—but maybe he can find an app for that. :~} Great shot, V!
He's only about a silly millimeter from falling on his head.
Does look like a pleasant place to sit.
Double chillin'. I can't criticize his checking his cell phone too much. I do the same, as well as admiring views.
Oh that looks good Virginia!
During my recent trip to Paris I tried to spend my evenings in one of these chairs at the Jardin du Luxembourg. I´m missing it sooooo much!!!!
One of my FAVS!!!!!
Looks scorched by the heatwave, exactly like last year... Longing for some shade and breeze... :)
God bless you!
