I confess that it took me quite a while to get my nerve up to ride the Grande Roue de Paris at Tuileries, but on my last day in 2011, Peter and I walked through the gardens and I looked up and said, "Let's go!" I will admit to keeping my eyes closed tightly for quite a while, but when I opened them, I was amazed at the wonderful view of Paris, even on a very gray January day with a bit of rain. If you're in Paris and have the chance....go!

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.

Ferris wheels and carousels are the only rides I use these days! I like the shot, too.
Ah yes I remember riding it when I was there. A grand view indeed. And a grand photo by you.
Terrific angle for the shot, Kate!
I would love to but my husband would be terrified :)
