Hello, dear friends,
Thank you so much for your comments on my last post. As promised, here are as many photos of springtime pink in Paris as I could gather up to share with you! When I arrived at the beginning of the month, the Kwanzan cherry trees at Notre Dame were at their peak (the Kwanzans are among the last cherries to bloom each spring). I won’t say there are trees like this all over Paris so it helps to know where to go. The cluster along the side of Notre Dame is very popular and I got up awfully early to photograph them without lots of visitors. We stayed on Ile Saint Louis which is just a short stroll away.
Alas, the blossoms are faded now but lilacs and even early roses are taking their place. Europe has had such a warm and early spring, the blooms seem to come and go nearly overnight.
I’ve posted some Paris videos on my Instagram account, too. And if you’ve been following along there, you’ll know my sister and I had some wonderful weekend adventures in Amsterdam and Keukenhof Gardens, which I will share here soon. She’s rekindled her love of photography and captured many exceptional images herself.
But yesterday I left Paris for a bit to spend the weekend in another marvelous city, actually my favorite of all, to celebrate D’s birthday. We’ve been traveling in different directions for months so are looking forward to a little getaway together.
I hope these images bring you some happy moments. I’m posting rather on the fly these days and with sometimes unreliable internet from trains and so forth, but I do appreciate your visits and comments. Please forgive me taking a long time to reply to you. Until then, more photos will be coming!
Wishing you a joyful weekend.
much love,
G
Gorgeousness all around! Such a beautiful post G!
Magnificence.
Well you know how much I am SWOONING over all of these stunning PINK photographs! I do hope that you are going to include some of them in your Etsy shop! (*_*) Happy travels G! I wish that I could be hopping trains with you! xoxo
Just gorgeous.!! Im in love with each photo .
I know at some point I will buy one of your prints if I can but not sure which..
Im in heaven , with such beauty you share.
Safe Travels and stay rested. This is so much work.!!
The white blooms against that pink is sooo striking.
Truly breathtaking beauty, Georgianna.
Enjoy every moment.
I wish you a beautiful weekend. xo.
These are fabulous!!
Your photos are wonderful. The colours and the surroundings make them seem like a magical place. Valerie
Georgianna!!! Your photos are stunning, as always. Cherry blossoms have very deep meaning for me as a breast cancer “Thriver”. I gasped when I saw the scale of these majestic trees!
I am busy planning The Pink Tree Project’s “Pink Tree Day in the Park” (a dedication of a special bench and cherry tree) to celebrate the 100th birthday of one of our city’s most cherished parks and to herald a flower-filled season of friendship and Pink Days In Bloom fundraising for breast cancer research. “The dream” is to one day see cherry blossom trees throughout our communities to help bring awareness, hope and support in ‘growing’ a future free from this dreaded disease. I am feeling more inspired than ever after seeing the potential beauty in our ‘new’ first trees to be planted this year. THANK YOU.

Be still my heart…magnificent! We have all those trees here in Virginia, but your backdrop is much better than what we have here with that gorgeous architecture!! Thank you for sharing, Georgianna. :)
Georgianna – such beautiful images of the pink blossoms, and I love all the backgrounds of Paris. Exquisite photography.
These are clouds from which may fall only a rain made of colour, of wonderful scents and of joy, dear Georgianna !
Given that Paris has always a little magic in every season of the year, given that Spring bring a touch of magic everywhere, well, enjoy your time in Paris my friend, never loose a moment of your days spent there !
With love
Dany
P.S.: I’d never seen such gorgeous and so old Cherry Trees before, believe me, thank your for your always amazing photographs !!!
Oh Georgianna! Beautiful pictures! We must have been just too late to see the cherry trees bloom near the Notre Dame. So beautiful! All the tulips were faded already as well when we were there(for just one day) From what I read we must have been in Paris while you were there as well! How great to stay at Ile St Louis, peaceful and quiet in an otherwise busy city. We did spot gorgeous blooming poppies in the Jardin de Luxembourg though. Maybe you saw them as well? How great to visit Keukenhof and Amsterdam. I hope to visit both someday as well. Can’t wait to see your pictures.

Lovely! Thank you, dear Georgianna!
Paris all decked out in pink–I don’t think it could be any better, except maybe with a pink macaron on top!
Oh my goodness, Georgianna, these are all so stunningly gorgeous! I wish you would offer some photography classes where I could travel alongside you and learn how to take such pretty pictures. I love your work so much :)
So much pink lush! Incredibly beautiful!
Absolutely gorgeous! Oh how I wish I was there with all of that spring colour :) Thankyou for your stunning pictures!

My son is going to Provence in June. It will be his third visit to France. I’m jealous!

So much pink loveliness, G! The scale of some of these flowering trees is amazing, speaking of the history they’ve seen! Looks like you enjoyed a glorious time.
It’s been a different type of busy at our house, as you saw by your recent visit to my blog :) Thanks for stopping.

Every time I come over here I’m swept away by your sense of color -I love it! We went to the Netherlands in the spring and I was totally overwhelmed w/my first DSLR and the beauty and all of it. I’ve got a long ways to go, but it sure is FUN (and sometimes a little frustrating) to photograph the beauty of creation! =) Thanks for the inspiration!
Pink clouds are my absolute favorite – in the sky or on the trees. How blessed we are that you share your trips with us!! SD
These are all so beautiful……it must have been amazing to be there in person!
Thank you for sharing them.
Take care,
Carolyn
Soooo dreamy, not just this post but the peonies…all of them.
