The fall is rapidly dying out. Although winter is a month away, the foliage shots are hard to get now. This shot with the E PL-2 was
taken in Juniper Valley Park, near my house.
Greetings, this blog is dedicated to my life in photography. I want to make this a place to stop and relax. In the hope that this will help in these trying times

More from Liguria / Nikon D 200
These two landscapes are also from the area around rapallo. It was an unusually cloudy day for April but it gave a nice feeling. In Italy sometimes you almost miss a cloudy day.

Italian golf course / Nikon D 200
It's not what you expect to see in Italy but this golf course is in Rapallo in the region of Liguria. This is a very up scale area with the next town being Porto Fino and one of Italy's most beautiful area.
Nana
This lovely dog, Nana', is the mascot of the Genoa Football Club Oregina. [Soccer}. The name does not denote some drink but stands for the name of the neighborhood in
Genova.
She is one of the sweetest and most loved dogs around. Also very pretty.

Torino
Torino was the first capital of Italy, the second was Florence anf finally, after the Papal forces aided by the French were defeated on September 10, 1870, Rome became it's capital. This forced the pope to declare himself a prisoner of the Vatican. He should have remained one or better he should have bees sent packing to Avignon. But then Mussolini, needing the support of the Church, signed the Lateran
Treaty and he basically gave away the store but enough of the History lesson.
