Italy Day Two: Florence

The view from the Pontevecchio this morning after we arrived from Rome was simply breathtaking. 



More photos for this week’s photo challenge: scale. On to the Tuscan countryside in the morning. 

Italy Day One: Rome

A day to remember and a first for me blogging from my iPhone.

It began with a special and unexpected moment never to be forgotten.

The rest of the day fitted well with this week’s photo challenge: scale as Rome is all about scale at every turn.

Happy Thanksgiving

 
 

 
After our walk along Spanish Banks last week we took the Admiralty Trail, one of our favourite pedestrian pathways through the Pacific Spirit Regional Park, and enjoyed the glorious October fall colours illuminated by the afternoon sunshine.

Happy Thanksgiving

Whether you have two legs or four there is nothing pedestrian about this pedestrian pathway, as you walk, jog or cycle beside Spanish Banks and English Bay as we did yesterday, with the Vancouver skyline in the distance.

Could this be one of the most scenic pathways in the world?…
 

…but I’m a little biased of course.

Finale Ligure reflection matted and framed.

The window is from the Youth Hostel in Finale Ligure, Castello Vuillerman, where we stayed in 1999. We’ll never forget climbing the more than three hundred steps with packs on our backs to the Castello where the views of the city were well worth the climb.

The first variation in ink and water-colour repurposed from Studio 365:Day 145

…the journal entry from our visit
