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.

And oh, the Chandelier. Divine.
Elegance with a capital E.
With a chandelier like that, how could they disappoint?
I had high tea there on a girlfriend trip. I shall never forget the beautiful flowers.
Wow!
A gorgeous chandelier!
I just looked at your photos through the last few months – you do take some outstanding photos. You certainly have an eye for the unusual and unique, so the picture is the story and you don’t have to write much. I don’t have pretty pictures, so is it why I have such long posts? Just kidding – I write my blog for when my grandchildren will read it, so it’s OK if very few people read it now. You must have spent a long time in Paris? We were there in May but not long enough and I still have not downloaded my pictures … sad I know, but I can look at yours and they are better anyway!
Very impressive. The greenery and the chandelier are outstretched to greet each other.
This is one of the places I don't visit normally; it's not in my price-class.... :) But we were invited to the über-posh Mandarin Oriental and I must have taken dozens of photos of the flowers and arrangements (our host asked me not to take any further pixies). Beautiful take!
