I was recently going through photos taken last Spring during my trip to Europe.... trying to choose some favorites to use for note cards... and was once again awed by all the beauty that we saw.
I can still feel my excitement as I deplaned in Paris... itching to see my daughter, Bianca, and anxious to start my adventure. Bianca was a wonderful guide, and in 3 short days (before heading off to Italy), she gave me a glimpse and a taste for what Paris is all about.
Some of my fondest memories are centered on the architecture... the "simple" details that seem to be everywhere, even in the humblest of structures. Of course, the "must see" spots were wonderful... but as a traveler, I've always enjoyed seeing "behind the scenes" and striking out to areas that are a bit off the common path.
As I looked through the photos, I noticed (again!) the gorgeous white and cream details my camera had captured...
...the entrances and facades were incredible... but the inside - wow- most ceilings and passageways were a work of art themselves!
... I miss you, Paris, can't wait to visit you again!
Linking up to White Wednesday at Faded Charm Cottage;
stop by to check out all the beautiful whites.
Just wanted to let you know I mailed your swap box yesterday & I tagged you in my blog. Hope you are having a great week.

What beautiful pictures! Thanks for the "trip" to Paris. It reminds me of how much the French influenced Mexico. Similar scenes can be found in Zacatecus, Guadalajara and the state of Colima. Just lovely!

Loved all your photos. Magnificent architecture as you say! We visited Paris too, but it was almost 40 years ago, but I have never forgotten what an awe inspiring time it was! Truly a romantic and amazing place.
Thanks for sharing your lovely photos.
Blessings, Nellie
