OOOOOHHH your photos are making me crazy to return to Paris. The streets, the people, all the artistic elements you are capturing make my heart crave to return. Thank you for sharing!!!!
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.

Aha! It belongs to Audrey Hepburn & Gregory Peck and they just popped int the Cafe for a coffee!
Les véhicules à deux roues sont incontestablement plus romantiques que ceux à quatre...la proximité y est certainement pour quelque chose.
My two favourite colours in one photo... Perfect!
It's so charming! :)

For some reason I have this craving for lime and strawberry gelato.
Haha... nice contrast. Like Joe said, it does remind you of Audrey and Gregory...
The red is magnified by the green!
The photo below with the red bag and coat would fit as well.

Love it against the yellow wall.
Can't quite see what the shop is about.
Not sure which I love most -- the scooter or that fabulous chartreuse wall!
He must have known you were coming. How thoughtful to leave such a nice photo op for you! Bon weekend to you and Meeps, dear V. x0
YOU'RE KILLING MEEeeeeeeee!
Wow! LOVE these colors!!!
Wow! Now that is a shot in the arm of fabulous color! Perfect photo. :)
Yeah, but it's Italian.
I wouldn't ride these. We once saw a rider hit by a car in the outskirts of Florence. Very low speed, probably not major injuries, but still scary.
Voilà - a perfect Christmas card!
Wrong city for Audrey and Gregory, but I can see it anyway! Fabulous combo of colors, V --
Very nice red scooter and I like the reflected windows too.
