San Remo

What can I say? It's a beautiful beautiful place, and despite the fact that we only spent one night there I just know we will go back very soon. I mean, it's only a little more than an hour away! I've put together two albums with "Italian Poetry", which I intend to just dump here with out any comments. Why? Well because I'm late for work, and also because a picture say more than...

Well, that was Italian Poetry I...





















Here comes no. II

Ecco my friends!

Here, and now

I just had to share this very lovely tuesday-view from my window. The air is crisp, and the horizon is razor-sharp...

Summer re-captured II

It's best ofcourse to finish what I've started. This isn't something that comes very easily to me, but... a girl's gotta.....
I continue my re-cap. of the summer, to be able to move on to new and who knows, greener pastures. Here goes:

Some mixed things; views from the cottage, and some of all the mushrooms Mixie and I found late in August.

We finally, after years of talking about it, managed to go on a picnic to one of the island in the southern archipleago.
Beautiful! It will happen again, so help me!

A Walk in the Park

Each time I hear the word "castle", I immediately see a picture in my mind of say, Disney's Sleeping Beauty, or the "chateux" in the Loire valley. Here, in the Swedish south a castle isn't at all the same thing. At least not the castle of Hovdala where we went today for a lovely lunch, and a hot walk around the premises. This is medieval southern Sweden, and I find it beautiful. If you add the enchanting "orangerie" to this... Well, it was a perfect outing, again.



Note the now-dried pole from the Midsummer's celebration! Up close we could still see some roses, now all dried, but still there.


















To the right the moat, now grassy and inviting. A far cry from the watery defense it once was.



So pretty in the sun! I peaked through all the windows, managing to get some good pictures, and some odd... The odd ones are for a future show...



La Fëte des Fontaines

Rushing around my little town today, I noticed that the fountains were all decorated. It seems there's a celebration going on! I didn't have time to get to all our fountains (there must be at least 10-15!), but at least I had my camera in the bag, and could whip it out on my way from A to B. Enjoy!

Maybe I should translate.... but no, you figure it out if you're in the mood!

The bible is an artwork ouf an local (American) artist, NALL...

La Foux is the name of our source here in Vence, and no, I can't translate the Provencal at all! Well, it does start " Oh Vence, my own country!"...sort of.

The end of my Dolce Vita...

I'm back home again, which is just fine. Just wanted to share some of my last photos from this very special "séjour"...
Sunrise

Also, apart from feeling that I've really received a gift, spending my time in an almost enchanted place, with a very special lady... I received these girls;

Pretty, nést pas? All vintage too...
