Havana Doors

These are just some of the gorgeous doors I found while strolling the streets of Havana. The styles, colors and textures are an endless visual delight.

Paris really knows how to make a first impression.

Step On Through To The Other Side

Ornate, simple, colorful, inviting, Art Nouveau, rustic ... just some of the beautiful doors I've come across in my travels. 

Home

Although my home isn't as adorable as these homes in Burano, it's good to be back with TB, my cat Six, and all that is comforting and familiar. I had a wonderful trip and I'm thrilled with the photographs I took. They'll be keeping me busy for many months to come.

But in the middle of this heat wave we're having, nostalgia is simmering and my lazy, hazy brain finds itself reminiscing, remembering and missing:

• The colors! My God ... the colors! Pinks, yellows, peaches, blues, greens. Villages like Burano and those in Cinque Terre are works of art. The houses are the canvases onto which the most amazing colors have been painted and one feels as though one is walking through a dream.
• Taking a vaporetto instead of the bus in Venice
• Tagliatelle (pasta) with truffles
• Cafe Americano con latte
• The amazing croissants I ate every day for breakfast while in Tuscany
• Tomatoes bursting with flavor
• The gentle rolling hills of Tuscany
  
• The chance to photograph such incredible beauty for hours each day
