Instants in Venice

Snoozing after a long day's work...


Fned... trying to be "artistic"


Peggy Guggenheim lying peacefully for eternity...

... next to her beloved dogs


The fruit market in Venice


"Honey, I think we're lost... again!"

Swine Flu's Italian consequences...



Did I mention they have PASTA there????


I just love this pic!


What a traffic jam in Venice looks like


Are all towers in Italy supposed to be leaning?


Going on 5 years... and still smiling




Dawn in Venice



Wish left on the Yoko Ono's Wish tree
Dude, you totally read my mind.

Hey those are some lovely shots - and the commentary is priceless! The black-and-white snoozer - nice! On the 'artistic' one: WOW! you do look gorgeous and the photo came out with the effect you were going for - arty!!! On the Peggy G. one, interesting to see the year she died! And did you notice that more than a few of her darling canines lived pretty short lives? The hanging clothes - oh how nostalgic.... and you guys against your respective doors - veeery significant doors I might add! Great spliced-together effect! But the best was you as a lost waif! I love seeing your face! And in that one, you look completely at peace in the midst of map-mishap... many greetings from home.

Fned, your guys's pics are amazing. Did you see the Guggenheim collection? I love it, so quirky and eclectic. I had to blow up the last pic to read the note and it really struck a chord with me. Sigh sigh.

Enjoy the rest of your vacay!

Minshap: Thanks mom! The pics you posted on your blog also made me smile!! :D

Jonnifer: On behalf of the Hubs, thanks girl! And yeah... the P. Guggenheim museum was awesome, I think I'm starting to develop a liking to Tanguy's out of this world paintings... Also... while I was in Italy I discovered, I actually DO like Italian renaissance painting! :s
