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.

You nailed it V. Perfectly panned and timed.
Les chaussures rouges Italiennes ?
Good lord ... I could not even walk in those, that alone cycle in them ... but perhaps cycling is easier as only the sole is used ...
Why are some shoes called "pumps, Virginia?
Nicely timed shot, Virginia!
She's so French!
Nice shoes—and nice catch, V!
...and a fabulous red hat in the distance adding just the right touch! Oh, to be in Paris this spring!
Bien capté !
This is a nice job of panning. AND, a few touches of Paris rouge.
C'est tout Francais!
