Gallery · · 35 Comments ·

Today a special door selection from my first blog, of doors that caught the eye of our Thursday Doorman.  “The day I set foot in Rome and start exploring for doors… well I don’t know if I’ll ever leave the place.” This was the comment … Continue reading Thursday Doors, 13/9/18: Norm mix I.

WPC: Life lines

Gallery · · 7 Comments ·

I almost forgot to post my lines for the WPC this week. So two posts a day it must be. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves today, only locations in the captions. These are the lines of my life, only the dog leash is … Continue reading WPC: Life lines

L’amour is in the air.
This girl doesn’t feel it yet…
They won’t know when they fall in love years from now that they were passing so close once before.
Some hide it better.
Some pretend they are just friends.
Some even smile the same.
Some are busted posing.
We three used to be the best couple.
These are sisters who go together well.
Oh, look, it’s mom!
Even dad began to play in this garden.
Dad with the sculpture “Choice/Lovers”.
A couple spotted spotting and contemplating their choice.
Blue upside down heart in a mosaic.
The courtyard with mosaic pillars and the 4-squirting-women fountain.
Do you see it? Not the hearts, nor the name of my amore on the middle pillar, but the bag with the unfortunate Marilyn quotation: “I can be smart when it’s important, but most men don’t like it.”
Here are my two bodyguards.
I would find him everywhere. And I did.
Signing out, with my first digital camera. I’m on my second now. But it’s a Nikon.
The end? Of this gallery, yes.

All my kisses

First a little kiss to all Americans. Why? Read till the end. No, it’s not because they have given us St. Valentine’s Day which I didn’t have growing up. Even though I hate commercialism behind this type of holidays, love is always an excellent cause … Continue reading All my kisses

February: Amazed every time I visit it. Giardino dei tarocchi by Niki de Saint Phalle, southern Tuscany.
Niki’s presentation of The Strength tarot card.
Four squirting women and every pillar is different.
Bottom line is love.
From the garden to the sea.
A dove. I hope it’s not mourning.
February: Two friends who never get to meet. Capalbio Scalo.
Better this way.
The pots were rearranged soon after and now I wish to show them how it was better.
Still trying to decipher this tree. I love its balls!
Cocktail sunset.
I look at my little point-and-shoot and this photo and it doesn’t compute. Not good enough for flamingos but good enough for this?

February 2017

Now that February is here, let’s look at last year’s, as is my habit. I have only four photo folders for this month. February is short and it’s not yet as comfortable to stroll around due to cold winds. All photos were taken in my … Continue reading February 2017
