About Me

- 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.
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 is not far from the Place des Vosges, VJ. Have you walked that way much? I walked (once) from Place de la Bastille, along Bvd Beaumarchais to a demonstration about unemployment being held at Place de la Republique. Well I remember having to negotiate the purchase of a new camera-card with minimal French. I have also travelled the length of Canal Saint Martin. Both of these were in 2008.

It's a sad world Virginia..
Another sad tragedy in this crazy world!
The free world stands in solidarity with the people of France. May the families of the victims find some kind of solace in the outpouring of rage and grief we all are experiencing. I hope that the wounded in this terrible massacre are able to mend, both physically and mentally!
A very sad day, V. I grieve along with my friends in Paris and for all who love her.
Some people are so filled with hate. So sad for France and the world.
Merci Virginia.
Nous sommes tous Charlie
A sad day.
Je Suis Charlie.
Thanks for this one, V—we're all Charlie today. Fitting photo too.
IMHO, people can believe what they want to. They can offer to share those beliefs but what I don't want them to be fee to do is force their beliefs on others.
And that goes for Kings, Queens, Presidents, Prime Ministers, religious leaders/fanatics/extremists and the man next door.
What with the Sydney Cafe siege (a cafe I have passed on many days) and other mindless killings, we live in sad times.
Looking at pictures of Paris helps to brighten the day. Thanks Virginia.
Je suis Charlie.

Blessings and love for those who are lost

Je Suis Charlie.
The tower weeps V.
