Intricate wrought iron gate at Newport, Rhode Island.

 Very healthy breakfast plate. Black beans, sauerkraut, parsley, onions, soy sauce and olive oil.

 The azaleas are in full glory at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. What a spectacle.

 Eating in Sicily. My Sicilian version of Caprese salad. I had to add  Castelvetrano olives and the local peperonato cheese.

 The great Luciano Pavarotti at the Columbus Day Parade of 1980 when he was the grand Marshall. A great and wonderfal man.

 Besides their nutritional value, lentils are delicious and easy to prepare. I prepared in the traditional Italian way with the classic soffritto ti which I added a small finely diced potato. Just wonderful. 

 My very Dear Friend Mike in Orta, Italy with one of his horses. Pure love.
