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.

Yes, praying. Merci pour les belles photos!
It's a wonderful photo, V. Yes, normal would be great. And I'll cheer the publication of the next issue of Charlie Hebdo!
I hope so too. A beautiful shot!

J'aime l'insouciance et la gaité sur ce cliché... On en a bien besoin, en ce moment, de ce genre de tendre moment.
(I'm training you for your français. That is a sweet picture, I love it.)
'Tsuki, Merci, I need all the help I can get ! :)

I love this great bubbles
Hopefully this isn't the new normal.
Your picture is excellent and it captures innocence and joy.
I love the innocence, especially at this sad time.
