Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge 2016 – Week 31

Posted on August 5, 2016 by Mama Cormier

….Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge can be any photo that doesn’t seem to fit into any other category

I have no idea what possessed my sister to kneel on the ground like this. I’m pretty sure she’s not praying. Her husband took this shot somewhere in Italy.

Thursday Doors – August 4, 2016

Posted on August 5, 2016 by Mama Cormier

…Italy has an abundance of beautiful doors

The first is an opening leading to our son’s show at the Venice Biennale and the second is a door we passed on the Grand Canal.

….church doors in Italy were a photographer’s dream

Every large city in Italy seems to have a Duomo or cathedral. These two doors are from the Duomo in Florence.

Cee’s Which Way Challenge – July 27, 2016 – Venice, Italy

Posted on July 27, 2016 by Mama Cormier

…..pathways in Venice, Italy didn’t always lead us to where we wanted to go

This is the pathway to our hotel in Venice. It was so small that the porter who was helping us with our luggage missed it the first time we passed it.

Most of the streets and pathways in Venice were very busy but some were almost deserted. The reason for the later was due to the fact that they often ended in a dead end.

Even the canals seemed deserted at times, especially the smaller ones.

Thursday’s Special – Here and There

Posted on June 16, 2016 by Mama Cormier

….today’s theme is being in two places at the same time, Here and There

Today our son and his fiancé were married at the registrar’s office in London, England. Thanks to What’s App we kept in touch all day with messages and photographs.

While everyone in London was toasting the young couple with champagne and spirits, here at home we raised our cups of tea and coffee to celebrate this special day. It was still morning here and most of us were at work.

Four weeks from now we will be travelling to Italy to participate in part two of this wedding when all the families gather in Assisi to celebrate this union. Can’t wait.
