munching the pointy end of the 2nd baguette from yesterday afternoon - mmmmmh!!!!!!!! what surprises me is that this man in the dirty city is carrying his bread in his dirty (surely...) hands and not have them bagged up.... Virg; I shall think of you when I'll have my prochaine baguette, OK?! :)
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.

A baguette, some cheese and a riverbank and life is complete V.
You can't have too many baguettes.
I miss the French baguettes! The sound, the taste... miam miam...

That looks like Rick! He took a baguette baking class a week ago and the recipe makes four at a time! Needless to say, we are enjoying carb overdrive!
....a warm baguette in my hands while in Paris......now that's the life!
Double entredre madame?
Joe, add some wine to that and I'll join you.
Moi aussi, ma chère! And maybe a bit of that good fromage and a glass of Mâcon-Villages—or am I being greedy?
Dinner requires baguettes, therefore...
A voir ses vêtements, cela doit être le bistrotier du coin.
The French do it right. Going home with fresh food in their hands, to be eaten within hours after it was made.
He needs to start eating immediately before they turn into rocks!
