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.

I love this flower! :) Awesome pictures!
Léia
Sunflowers just sing Summer don't they V.
I first saw those magnificent fields of sunflowers in Italy... and now, of course, in France. They ARE summertime!
Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I did not know that was the word for sunflower. So many words to learn. Want to link to my Dreaming of France meme today?
Gorgeous! What a joyful experience. :)
Tournesols scream summer!
Beautiful shots ! Bravo !
the most perfect name for a flower ever : turned towards sun -Tournesol; a golden treasure!
Nice.
You certainly made the most of your stroll—these are beautiful, V!
Love your new current banner!!!!
I can't wait till the Tour de France goes through the sunflowers! I hope I haven't missed it!
Sunflowers bring such joy and happiness - thank you dear V for making my grey day bright and cheerful! Roll on summer - over the rain in Sydney! F xx
The bee looks pretty happy there, too.
It seems that the giant sunflowers are everywhere-peaking their heads at you.
So beautiful. What a wonderful experience that must have been.
