I have so many fond memories of my travels to Italy. This beautiful country has inspired my growth as a human being and my creativity as a photographer. For that I will always be grateful.

Here are just a few images as a loving tribute to this richly cultured country as it negotiates this unprecedented moment in its history.

Viva Italia!

Be safe, everyone. Stay home if you can. Together we can prevail.

I must be an old soul for I love the ancient places.

Take me to Italy or Ireland (see previous post) any day.

Coincidentally, or not, I’m currently reading Roma, Steven Saylor’s epic novel on the history of Rome. Which reminds me it’s time to go back and take a fresh slate of pictures.

Thanks for visiting,

Tuscan Room with a View

Posted on by

This is what came immediately to mind when considering a window view. No, it’s not the view from any window at my home. It’s the incredible scene from our room at the villa in Tuscany we rented with a group of friends in spring 2014. We spent many happy hours in that pool, oohing and ahhhing over the gorgeous countryside around us, and then traveling those hills to Siena, Volterra and other ancient towns that left us in equal awe. A vacation of lifetime, to be sure.

I love a room with a view.

Thanks for visiting …
