Pause Paris
There is the ‘pause café’… ‘pause clope’ … ‘pause sanwich’ … ‘pause pipi’ … and perhaps a myriad of other reasons to take a small break ‘pause’ that the French have turned into a miniature event during the day, or almost.
In addition to all of these little breaks and pauses, I would like to instigate the ‘pause Paris’. A small moment where we stop and marvel at this incredibly beautiful city in which we live. This could be done daily, or even several times a day!
These small moments happen to me randomly, and sometimes I have my camera handy, and try to document them. These little pauses leave me feeling lucky, as lucky as I did on the day I landed here. This city has a way of causing me to catch my breath and say “wow”…
Here are a few of those efforts that I have managed to capture :
So true! I love it when I have my camera for those moments, and swear at myself when I don’t!
Beautiful photos! I so loved Paris when we were there a few years ago. I desperately want to get back, especially after seeing this pictures.
These are stunning and gave e a “pause Paris” while sitting in Los Angeles
Lovely moments you captured! Great concept 🙂
Snif – you’re tearing my heart in two! But in the loveliest way. I love your “Paris Pause” phrase and concept – it’s so true, as evidenced by your photos.
Merci sweet freak! Sorry about the heartache!
Beautiful post, Melissa! I’m glad I checked back after all this time… Paris is truly one of the loveliest things that has happened to me. Thanks for all your help while I was there (spr ’09), and for your entertaining blog!
Stunning. Thanks for posting the pictures. You’re right, you are very lucky. 🙂
I second Sweet’s comment. I’m only gone for 2 weeks and your pics just took me back. Such wonderful feelings. Thank you for the lovely post!
