To fly with angels



Inhale.

Breathe in with me the scents and sounds

of the beauty that is Italy.

The narrow cobbled streets,

the alleyways

with the pungent smells of lemons

and cloves.

Listen with me to where the sounds of Italian summers past

linger like waiting ghosts.

The sounds of this place,

like old Italian love songs of long ago.

Here, the smells and the sounds

became a kaleidoscope flickering in my heart,

one small heart beating along with a million others,

under the deepening sky.

The stars saw it all.

They see,

and remember.

(Italy has  quite stolen my heart away.
I took over 900 shots on our trip,
these are a few of my favourites.
And dears, how have you all been?)

  1. Oh, it looks so beautiful! I'm glad you had a wonderful time, dear. I was rather hoping you would show us some of your holiday snaps, and they are fabulous!

    Hope you're feeling well rested, and that being back is not too much of an anticlimax. I missed you! I've nominated you for a blogging award. You can collect it here:

Pretty misty stars

A sound of birds singing

 It's early.  And almost a year since I was here. I hear a sound of birds singing  outside my window and a dog barking down the street. ...
