As I mentioned yesterday, I've had the pleasure of visiting Paris twice - once in 2005, at the tail end of a school-sponsored trip to France, and again in 2010, at the tail end of the Mediterranean cruise I took with my husband's family. Here are some of my favorite photos from those two excursions to the beautiful city of lights.

(When I visited in 2005 they were putting in a bid for the Olympics, so they had a big sign attached to the side) |

As always, I hope to use these photos as source material for future artwork, and I have plans for several small watercolors based on all my travels in the works.
