Today thanks to Anita atCastles Crowns and Cottageswe get to go on a little escape from our regularly scheduled life to visit one of the most magical places in the world.
A city of lights
Where the shadows of time
Allow us to sit back and relax and forget about life
 |
Or take in the sights.
We can stop and smell the roses
Take a walk in the park
Or go for a ride!
We can sit and think
About the past
Or the present.
We can dream about love.
Or perhaps we could follow a map
To our hearts desire!
Whatever we do on this magical trip will remind us that….
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Enjoy all of the Paris links at Castles Crowns and Cottages!
All images take by me except the balcony scene, it is from Pinterest!

Elizabeth, it's not a hazard that you bear the name of famous queens, you do speak the most glorious words and surprise the most beautiful glimpses of life :). I've never been to Paris but it's one of my secret wishes to speak French on rue de la Seine :).
Je t'embrasse 🙂
How lovely! Your photos are beautiful, I have enjoyed seeing Paris through your lens!

Elizabeth dear, your walk through Paris is gorgeous!
Your photography skills are terrific…and that main lock you chose to photograph is in Russian!
Isn't this so much fun?
Dear friend, this week has been so crazy…with end-of school, birthdays and other events.
I have missed you!
So glad you had a wonderful time following the Jubilee…I managed to see a bit of the flotilla…that was quite a sight…and all of the people in the streets, balconies..wow! Very moving.
Enjoy your weekend, sweet friend…and all of the Parisian adventures!
Sending love,
– Irina
Lovely photographs of Paris! I think the storyline is perfection and makes me want to book a trip! Visiting from Anita's.

Bonjour Elizabeth!
Aren't we having a wonderful time at the Paris party?? I met Anita last year at the first one, and I'm so glad she's doing it again! I have been following you for awhile, but have not been too active due to internet problems!
These are lovely photos that you have taken! I do so enjoy it when people put up their own work. It gives us such a personal view. I am blown away by that one from the Eiffel Tower [?} Wouldn't it make a great wall panel behind a bed??
I have "liked" you on your facebook page. I am there as French at Heart.
Amitiés, chérie,
dawne

It is great to met you here in Paris ….enjoy your stay…what a great party !!!! love Ria…xxx
your photography is amazing! truly wonderful!!
and pine corns and acorns are two of my favourite things 🙂
Those pictures are brilliant. I especially love the close up of the locks… so often it is from a distance and you don't appreciate the lovely thought that goes behind them. I do feel like we are all rendezvous-ing in a special place to enjoy Paris… almost like being there.
Stunning pictures… and a really wonderful tour of Paris… thank you… Happy weekend… xv
What a brilliant idea of Anita to connect all of us who love Paris. Your tour of the City of Light is amazing . Thank you for visiting my blog even when I wasn't quite ready with my Paris picnic.
Have a romantic weekend!
Wonderful, Elizabeth! What lovely pictures you've taken–those combined with your beautiful wording have made this a perfect visit to Paris!

What a beautiful post and I am sooooo glad to know that you took all of the photos too! Doesn't the Paris Party make you wish you were back? You have wonderful images and a wonderful eye for photography. I am going to have to say that I want my Paris breakfast on the Pinterest balcony, not just on a park bench! Have a great time in Paris whenever you return!

What gorgeous images! Even though I haven't visited the City of Lights, I feel like I've been able to travel there seeing all of this beauty, thanks to this wonderful party that Anita has hosted for us.
I hope you have a lovely week!

Elizabeth, this is just the best! I love the Stravinsky Fountain by Niki de Saint Phalle. I almost included a photo of it in my post. Also considered sharing a photo of the Locks of Love on the bridge. 😉 Thanks for sharing all these great images. Fabulous post!
Glad to find your blog as well…….Sarah
G'day Elizabeth.
Great images. I loved the pickie of the Eiffel Tower…all bokeh looking…and the one with the large wheel and the statue of the lion bang smack in the center wearing a circular garland of flowers (to match the wheel!)…Joan of Arc is amazing…though I can't say the same for that modern art 'statue' Haha.
I have also checked out your other posts re yummy muffins…wow!…bet they tasted GOOD.
