Travel to Paris during the winter months has forced me to see things in different ways as a photographer. I've gotten a lot of practice! This remarkably sunny Sunday morning, showed me another view of the Seine.
It looks rather spooky with those bare branches in the foreground and your black and white portrayal V. Perhaps its just Halloween getting to me. Ciao J.
especially love comments by Joe et Alain.... c'est très beau! And I just thought of Halloween too although it doesn't do anything at all for me - I guess one must be American to appreciate H....
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.

Paris in winter led me to the discovery of wool socks.
It's beautiful, V! I love the winter light in Paris (what there is of it). :~}
Nicely composed!
Always changing, always lovely.
