Sometimes you peek into a courtyard and find a vignette just waiting for your camera.

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.

Cycling is such a great way to get around as long as you can avoid the busy roads.
I love your composition !
Anytime I see a bicycle photo my heart ings a little bit! I love this one!
Just amazing.
Mmmmm, how lovely to be able to peek into a courtyard... The doors not being closed, I mean.
And this photo is marvelous...

And another beautiful header to tide us over to Spring!
Love the beige set off by the white lace curtains - great photo & terrific new header.
I just love this beautifully monochromatic composition, V!
Oh what a lovely shot! The lace curtains add the perfect touch.
Well done. You were fortunate to find a white bike set against that relatively muted background, with the frills of lace to catch the eye. Kind of like you dragged the bike into the scene, but I'm not accusing you of anything!
