that Paris has the heartiest geraniums on the planet. Mid November and they were still spilling over the balcons with reckless abandon!

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.

I love the flowers in Parisian windowboxes. I can't resist commenting, however, that if properly cared for, potted geraniums will continue to live and flower until the first freeze, which in sizable parts of the Northern Hemisphere (including the city in which I live) often has not yet occurred in mid-November.

They are thriving V both in abundance and vibrancy.
Balcony envy!
Gorgeous windows Virginia...
-- Zest up your life!
The carvings on the building really draw my eyes!
I know, right? Then again, on such a voluptuous balcony on such a gorgeous façade—how could they do anything but thrive?
