Taken at Jardin des Tuileries in November, when one can actually find some alone time.

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.

It does look quiet, and better for walking that time of the year.
You have to walk, William—to stay warm! :~}
(Love this composition, V)
Love this statue! When I was there, there was a bird sitting atop of Neptune's head!!!
Nice composition, Virginia. It looks like there is a halo.
I was just there last month and enjoyed sitting by the Grand Bassin Rond with my daughter early one morning. There were only a few others there and it was so nice and relaxing.
