I do love this exquisite iron window guard against the background with soft variations of color. The setting makes one wonder about the family beyond those shutters. bon dimanche à toi
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, part-time painter, lover of all things French ( whose français is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic art museum volunteer, grateful 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". My 2008 trip I looked at Paris with a different 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. I was thrilled to return to Paris and the French countryside in June and July of 2009, and blogged daily while there. I've returned to the city I love in January and June- 2010 , January 2011 and January 2012! Each time I visit, it feels more and more like home, and I discover new and interesting things with each trip. I cherish the time with my Paris friends as well as the friends that always join me there. 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.

Attention to detail in everything ... Beautiful !
This window facade seems sad and abandoned. Hope someone places a pot of red geraniums there soon.

So simple yet so lovely. And you were there to see it, V. Even better. Hugs to you and Meeps!

Beautiful! Love it!!!!
Love the grillwork. A great place to hang your wet jeans!
This ironwork is magnificent.
Bon dimanche to you as well, ma chère. This is so subtle and so Parisian—I love it (though Joe makes a good point about the geraniums).
I´m with Joe. Where are the geraniums?
Looks like they're having a Sunday sleep in...nice!!
