the distinguishable flakes
blowing sideways ..."

    Okay, okay - fico d'india - I told you my Italian is woeful.
    I saw your menu board and thought Ravioli di zucca - was ravioli with sugar!!!
    Close!
    I love that essentially in this post you have tried to capture "the air".
    It suggests a whimsical soul.
    You're my kind of people!

    Snow and roses! Cool.

    (We are stuck with grey skies, on and off rain and brown leaves plastered on the ground)

    Your first photo conveys that feeling that snow is in the air. It just feels like the snow will be coming anytime. How I miss that feeling . . .thank you for the reminder.

    Sally Crawford from London:
    I'll join you with a plate of ravioli ripieni di zucca. :-)

    I hadn't read the weather report, but there was definitely snow in the air. There was a special atmosphere, but only when the flakes come dancing down at St. Stephan's Place, did I realize that I had felt them coming all along.

    Re Zucca: I shall never forget Elizabeth Taylor exclaiming "La mia bella zucca!" in the Italian version of the the movie "Giant" (with Rock Hudson and James Dean). Had me in stitches, I found it so funny imagining la Taylor with a pumpkin on her shoulders.

    Hi HEXE,
    you are welcome! :-)
    You swang by on your broom so silently, I didn't hear you. ;-)
    Yes, as I said in my previous comment, snow was definitely in the air. Looking at that first photo now, I should have seen it coming.

    *sigh*
    It's all so lovely Merisi, so very lovely. But right now, after months of non stop rain I wouldn't trade my warm sunshine and blue skies for snow filled air! :-D
