Summer dreams

I'm always thinking of summer with it's warm possibilities. The season of fresh fruits and mature flowers. It's nice to look at old images and re live happy summer moment such as these at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden on a warm afternoon a few years ago.

Rapallo

This lovely town on the Ligurian coast is naturally famous for it's beautiful tourist port. These photos show a different side of this enchanted place, the campagna or countryside. The first one is  of course of a lovely golf course. We usually go there to have lunch at Il Nostromo famous for it's excellent cuisine and it's all you can eat policy.

More from Venice

When everything fails in my search to find what to post, there's always Venice. It's such a magical place that it's almost impossible not to take decent photos.

Venice

The pigeons in Piazza San Marco provide great entertainment for some courageous tourists who always try to feed the plethora of birds that are attracted by the food that is bought just for them. It's good fun and provides for great photo ops.

Erice

I keep finding more photos shot in this lovely mountaintop town on the north west corner of Sicily. It is a must see venue if visiting Sicily.

Have a beautiful Sunday
