I can feel that bright, sultriness!
ReplyDeleteWonderful captures, Merisi!
ReplyDeleteLove that little shack
ReplyDeleteSaint Mary looks so benign...in her blue robe, with the fresh ferns...she'll definitely withstand the storm!
ReplyDeleteIt seems as if I am there with you in that sultry weather on that little lane...will we be seeing raindrops here soon?
ReplyDeleteVery nice views, Merisi! What a charming atmosphere in the village!
ReplyDeleteOh, I miss it. Bella, bella. (Giulia the Gattina is sulky. She wants to go & I told her she has to write her memoirs--or at least dictate them to me--so we can afford it.)
ReplyDeleteciao-meow, Merisi.
Wonderful. love the one with the Virgin
ReplyDeleteI love the little tufts of green around the bottom of the electricity poles.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely captures and something so familiar about your sunflowers. Merisi, just this morning I showed my husby my new screensaver. It was taken yesterday morning and it is of the back of a sunflowers. I told him that the back was just as interesting as the front and that I loved their leaves. Then I saw your entry and had to smile, creative minds.... Chow~
ReplyDeleteI"ve missed your lovely photos, they are so calming...so glad to be back in blogland and amongst good friends...I won't be neglecting you again!!!!

A different light, softer, suffused, but your pictures are just as enchanting.
ReplyDeleteHonestly?
ReplyDeleteLooks a lot like Austria to moi...
U sure U left home?
Hmmm...
Thank you for all your wonderful comments, I cherish them all! Sandi, so good to hear from you again, I was afraid a South Carolina alligator had taken over your computer and wouldn't let go online anymore! ;-)
ReplyDeleteParis Breakfasts:
I am sure. Definitely Italy. Near the Adriatic Sea. I travelled all together 2,500km in five days, after all! ;-)
P.S. to Carol, Paris Breakfast:
ReplyDeleteYou'd be hard-pressed to find palm trees and a homestead like the one in the bottom picture in Austria. ;-)
Another intriguing place -- love that first shot especially.
ReplyDeletebellissimo!
ReplyDeleteHello! Have you find Lena (sous le figier)in Italy?
