Lanterne de Paris

Even the vines in Paris love the lanterns.

Look Up!

I have spent many wonderful hours at the Palais Royal,  one of my favorite places in Paris. Each visit I try and find a new detail or way to photograph it in a different way. Many of you will recognize one of the lamps shot from below.

Place des Vosges

One of the arched entryways into Place des Vosges. I loved the texture and colors. Reminded me of some restoration projects here in Birmingham that I have photographed.

C'est Paris

I'm certain, after all these trips, that I will never tire of Paris windows and flowers. And lanterns. And shutters....

Lumière et ombres

Sometimes, just the light on a building is enough to stop me in my tracks for another photograph.

Paris Rouge - les feuilles

I return to Paris in November for a very good reason..... les feuilles!

Courbé

I love a Paris lantern, even when it's a bit courbé!

Les lanternes

 

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!

Les Feuilles Rouges

 One perk of visiting Paris in November is the spectacular color.  Forgive me if I overdo the foliage photos for a while.

Les Ombres

Le Marais

I am pleased to announce the opening of my Etsy Store, Paris Through My Lens, offering a collection of my Paris photographs for sale. 

La formule

Aged walls + elegant ironwork + lantern = Paris !

Lanterne Belle

 Palais Royal...bien sûr!

Où est ce??

I"m sure you know! 

Lanterne avec pigeon

Opéra Garnier of course.  I sat on these steps late one afternoon last June, waiting for Genie and Marie.
Soaking up Paris right here...c'est magnifique!!!

Les Lanternes Roses

I tossed around Paris Rouge but knew I'd be called out on that!
