I haven't visited in such a long time and I forgot how incredibly talented you are. You have such a wonderful eye for light and shadow and your perspective and composition are outstanding. I have been having a lovely time going through your past thirty or so posts. Simply beautiful. Keep smiling. Your blogging sister, Connie :)
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 lovely way to pass the time. Oh ... Just listed "bread" on my check list.
Yes, this guy is thinking "just a little closer and I'll be having that duck confit for lunch".

I wonder if they said "bonjour" or "may I join you?" when they sat down. What a wonderful slice of life!
Muy buena!
It kind of seems as though the man and the ducks have met before. :~}
I like the sense of expectation the ducks seem to have.
I'm wondering who sat down first and if the second to sit was hoping to strike up a conversation...(not with the ducks!!!)
Attendrissant.
