When Mary and Peter and I get together in Paris, there is just no telling what we will find. Last November, we wandered around and found this little alley. Peter went ahead to scout out an exit, then we followed. A great find!
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.

What divine composition! Indeed, a wonderful walk and find!
Ah...the advantages of pulling up the rear!!! Great capture Virg!
It looks like an inviting passageway.
I wish to be there!!
I love it!
You find the best stuff when you're with Peter, n'est-ce pas? And beautifully captured by you, ma chere.
This is a gorgeous passageway, VJ. Not much privacy in those appartements across the void though.
At the moment, I have this blog with white background and yellow text. Is it my monitor? It is very difficult to read, my friend.
I can't imagine this view has changed much over the last 100 years V, it's a classic oui!
Nicely composed! You lined them up as a skein.
Great find and super to be walking around with Peter too . You never know what you are going to see, love the lamps.
You must venture South, Montpellier, Nice, Antibes sometime. These tiny passageways pepper the South and the light is sensational.
