So that's why you haven't been blogging! I am sure you enjoyed Venice as much as I enjoyed looking at your photos. I can only dream about that Tiramisu for now, but I will keep it in mind when I go to Venice next time ;)
While it is a sunny, winter morning in Texas and I'm happy to see the first signs of spring here, your photos take me away to a dreamy Sunday morning in one of my favorite cities. If only those time-worn buildings and bridges could talke.......what stories they could tell!!
And you were jealous of Simon's list!! I am so smitten green at your being in Venice in February!
You have a photo captioned "May I tempt you?" I am so very tempted...to draw and to paint...may I? Would you give me permission to work with your photo? Please with whipped cream on top and maybe some cinnamon too!?!
vedo che è andata benone, a Venezia !! domenica mattina di ritorno dalle dolomiti son passato proprio vicino venezia in autostrada e ti ho pensato. anzi avevamo anche pensato con a. di fermarci un paio di ore, giusto per un piccolo assaggio. abbracci. L.
Maalie: I find Venice a city where it's quite easy to escape the crowds, but I do love this time of the year there, at the cusp of spring. (I was mighty proud of capturing a bird, at long last!)
Abhinav: Thank you! Thank you twice, I haven't read William Riviere's By The Grand Canal, so I shall look for this book!
Luc: It is really hard not being able to visit, even if it were only for a couple of hours, isn't it? I did visit "your" church this time, you'll see. Abbraccione! ;-)

Sotoportego de le Colonete

ReplyDeleteThose blues and greens are chasing a very blah day away here.

ReplyDeleteLooks incredible..great photos Merisi!
Hi Merisi, nice to see you back. Nice town, I suppose it is better in winter with fewer tourists. Nice female House Sparrow down below.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading William Riviere's By The Grand Canal; reading your blog is a great visual supplement to reading the great novel. :-)

Venice holds such a special place in my heart. It is a unique city. Your pictures remind me why I love it so...
