Le Palais-Royal Roses

In early May, J and I took another quick trip to Paris. It was our third time there together and we had really hoped to be better prepared this time with plans. Nope, we couldn't plan a trip if our lives depended on it. We stayed in the 1st again (to be close to Télescope Cafe of course) and spent many mornings walking through the Palais-Royal. I was determined to shoot the stunning roses that lined the paths before I left.

On the last night, we both got food poisoning and had a flight to catch the next morning. We dragged ourselves out of the AirBnB to the gardens so I could shoot these in between bouts of stomach pain. Sounds crazy, but I know I would have been more upset if I had missed the chance to shoot these. Getting lost in the folds and petals of these with my camera was very soothing. I only wish I had more time with them.





I plan on making a few prints of these. All of these are available as fine art prints from 8x10 up to very large sizes if anyone is interested.

  18. Oh my gosh. Just came upon your blog and scrolling down the homepage I was stopped in my tracks by these photos. I actually did gasp. Now, I do love a flower photo (and, of course, the real things too), I'll admit it, but...these photographs are absolutely breathtaking, they have left me with a smile on my face.
    Thank you

    PS...definitely will be checking out Buly 1803 next time I'm in Paris (which hopefully won't be that long a wait).
