I have undertaken the task going through the nearly 3000 photos I took during our two-week vacation, picking out some of my favorites for printing or sharing here. It’s a slow process – so many to choose from, each one coupled with a special memory. I’ll sporadically post a few on my blog as I’m sorting – here are the particularly special ones I came across tonight:
By the end of our time in Paris, Shane was rolling his eyes as I stopped to take my 200th picture of Parisian roof lines. Can’t help it – even though buildings like this are found all over the city, I am still enamoured with each and every one of them. So lovely…
Lampposts were also a favorite photographic subject – it’s all about the little things (although the sight of the Eiffel Tower in the background certain helps the composition).
More roof lines – this one was taken from the terrace of the Pompidou:
Signs of springtime…
Rue Montorgueil – one of my favorite streets in Paris, lined with cafes and cheese shops and little markets. Shane and I had a nice leisurely lunch at a little pizzeria on this street after our trip to the Pompidou.
Place des Vosges – one of my favorite public squares in Paris (I’m starting to notice that everything in Paris is described as “my favorite…” – bear with me). We stayed just a couple of blocks away from here and frequented this spot. Great place to sit on a bench, eat a sandwich, and people-watch.
Yowsers:
Already our time in Paris and Portugal feels like it was so long ago – I’m ready for a repeat! But for now, my memories and my thousands of photos will have to do, which isn’t so bad – there’s satisfaction in reminiscing about such a perfect trip…
