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.

Two more steps and you could have titled this post "The Thirty Nine Steps" V. I know, I know ..... too much time on my hands. Cheers J.

Glad I don't have to climb this every day!
Paris definitely a stairway kind of place. Visitors need sturdy knees!
Some people might want to camp out halfway up and go for the summit tomorrow.
Love that picture as it conjures up walking along the Seine - also love the new header.
Love the puddle of leaves at the base of the stairs and echoed at the foot of each tree. Very nicely composed, V!
A very cool point of view !
