Cappuccino for David


Early in the morning when

The mist rises
From the Tuscan hills,
And the sun's almost ready
To kiss the roofs
Of Florence,

Copyright 2008 by Merisi. All rights reservedCopyright 2008 by Merisi. All rights reservedDavide asks
The Mighty Lion
To please stand guard.
He then quickly

steps down
From his pedestal

Copyright 2008 by Merisi. All rights reservedTo fetch himself
A cappuccino
At Dolce e Dolcezze.

The first two pictures
were taken in the hills of Fiesole,
Michaelangelo's David stood still at Piazza Della Signoria
(while Donatello's Perseo,
well, shrugged - we all know what he was up to, don't we?),
and the cappuccino
was savoured and photographed
at Dolce e Dolcezza.

    Shrinky:
    Thank you!
    These kind of stories happen when I have no idea of what to post. ;-)

    andrea veloux:
    Not bad for a girl who grew up in a hamlet populated by 149 people and lots of cows, wouldn't you agree?*smile*

    Sonia:
    Imagine, this being the view from your office in a villa in the Tuscan hills!

    My Melange:
    Yes, almost!

    Maalie:
    Yes, and it is true. That rascal's up to all kinds of miscief, I'd say. ;-)

    I love that and I know it's true because he was a strong leader, even if he forgot his pants once in a while!-

    You always make me smile. Your blog is like a breath of fresh air.
    David had better get a fig leaf on before he goes and gets his Cappuccino.

    You capture Florence beautifully.
    I love visiting it with you.
    My husband and I met there in 1973.
    Post more pictures.
    I look forward to them.
