YTSL, The Island of Burano, is not quite as crazy crowded as Venice is. These were both taken down quite little out of the way spots. I do often have to wait for people to move on, so I get a clear shot. Thank you for stopping by.
Annie, Thank you , I do so appreciate you kind words. It is so much fun to bring up a photo from Italy, and of course Venice is my favorite place of all, for a photo hunt. It always brings back so many wonderful memories. Thank you for stopping by.
I love the colors in your photo's! Don’t know if you remember me but I used to read your blog. I am making some cool Tie Dye Cross-stitch Art and am trying to get the word out (I don’t have much traffic as of yet) You can check out my link to my Etsy Shop on my blog if your interested. Hope all is well and I enjoyed stopping in again.
My family and friends are most important to me. I need their love, hugs, and to see their smiles,warms my heart completely. Reading a good book transports me to another time and place. Music, ah.. music, it surrounds me most of the time. It can bring me up, or relax me to a more gentle space. Movies, love them, especially foreign and independent ones. Quotations, so often inspire me,and sometimes, bring a tear to my eye. My photography tells a story of where I have been, and my vivid imagination paints me many pictures of where I want to travel next, as I enjoy a cup of cappuccino!

I love it!
Sandra, love these photos. You've captured some really interesting places. It's an amazing concept and so whimsical and fun. Love this post.
Hi Sandra --
There aren't (m)any people in your photos. Thought Venice was super crowded. Did you go at a quiet time in the day as well during the year?
Great minds think alike! It's such a fun place to visit and take photos. Yours are great!
Sandi and Barb, thank you for stopping by, always love to hear from each of you, and so appreciate it!

I love these colorful houses. I may have already left a comment but I'm so batty I couldn't remember if I had.
