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.

Wow. Want a beautiful arbor of roses V. Just breathtaking.
Just wonderful!
Glorious roses. Some times the Paris city workers make it too easy for you photographers. Come play along with Dreaming of France today if you get a chance. Also, enter for a $20 Amazon gift card giveaway on my blog. Here’s my Dreaming of France meme
i loved walking up there ... you must come to new york and visit the high line
How gorgeous! And the scent must be divine!
Yes, I should! They weren't much in mid-April! How lovely!
And I'll try to do it when the roses are in bloom! This is gorgeous, V --
I fall for your photos of roses every time! Great photo!
I did a double take when I saw this photo of the rose arched. At a quick glance they looked like the Elizabeth Park rose arches. These are narrower. AND, lovely.
I think this is the garden featured in the movie Before Sunset, right?
It looks beautiful!
How magnificent - see you there sometime V? F xx
sorry for being absent from your Stream - but here i am again....
thought first that this was taken at Giverny (Monet's Garden) - because I have tons of similar ones from this all-time favourite garden.
contrary to you I have been umpteen times at the Jardin de plantes but never when the roses were SO spectacular.... many tks for this treat
As soon as I saw this I thought of Jack's Elizabeth Park; no wonder he was surprised to see your photo.
do you know the song, V as sung by Edith Piaf ? I know you 'd love it.
Gorgeous shot! We visited Jardin des Plantes on our last trip three years ago, but never found anything that beautiful.
