Blues Views

Another beautiful
doorway in Burano.
Walking along the
way back to the Ferry
is a wonderful artistic
view of imaginative
doorways.

Beautiful Doorway

Still in Burano,
the color and imagination
of the homeowners is
truly eye candy!

Advertising artwork

A bit of mystery outside
a mask shop on this island
of Burano outside Venice.
Wonderful lace and masks
for sale here.

Art in Architecture

Amazing Art all along the canals in Venice.
Would it be fun to live across the street from this building?

Traffic in Venice

Things are getting busy
close to the main canal.
All gondolas are full
of people and product.

More from Venice

Church along the waterfront.
This gives new meaning to
going out of your way to daily
services. Beautiful Church
and Bell tower on the main canal.

Clock Tower

There are many wonderful small town along the ferry route.

Each town has a history and stories to tell. I think you could probably spend a week just poking around in these beautiful old Italian towns.

Maybe next trip we will take some time to do that!

Venice Island Church

Venice off the
main canal. Beautiful
churches and bell towers.
New things to see when
you take a boat ride.
What a great way to see
wonderful architecture.

This is Italian

When in Rome, buy a new shopping bag.
These flag colored bags were in a rack on the street, 
and it was hard to resist buying. Packing light tends 
to limit purchases.

Smiles!

Beautiful Gardens

This Botanical Garden was a short walk from our lunch stop.

Little exercise after eating is a good thing.

Quiet and very peaceful, beautiful gardens.

Ferry Ride

Boat ride to Islands outside Lake Como.

Very crowed ferry on a regular route.

Photographing from a moving boat is always a challenge.

Scenery was wonderful though.

Italian bedding refresh

How very refreshing to see a bedroom window open while the bedding is being aired and the room is being cleaned. The brightly colored exterior of this building is a great background for the bedding colors.

Lake Clouds

Lake Chabot clouds. Waiting for the moon. Turned around to find wonderful clouds prior to sunset.

Pull out the iPhone and try to hold still and take a photo.
