  3. Oh, I love your photos! Your captions, everything. It's a treat, let me tell you.

    Did I spy Francis Ford Coppola on his cell phone in one of the pictures I clicked to? If not, he has a twin at large in the world.

    Here's a link to some other blues, in another part of the world:

  4. tut-tut,
    apparently he does have a twin! :-)
    Francis himself sports a beard, as far as I know, though, but who knows? *giggle*
    Thank you for the Link, I visited it with coffee cup in hand. Beautiful, Zansibar has always been among the places I would love to visit.

  11. Your photos whisked me away today! What a beautiful contrast of blues and whites. I visited Venice with my family while I was in college and fell in love with the place. The whole time we were there, I kept thinking that one day I wanted to come back and experience the magic of this city with my soul mate. Found the soul mate, just gotta make the trip! Have you ever visited Venice during the Christmas season?

  12. Excellent blues.
    About the Moon - no have not seen cow jumping over the moon, lol, 100-400mm lens, or 75-300mm lens will do to take good shot of the moon.
    Thanks for visiting my blog. Anna :)

  14. I have been stopping by for so long - and, let's see, how shall I say this - I can't live without your blog! You take me to all the places I want to go but have yet to see. I am just now compiling my blog list and would love to include you if that would be alright. Please stop by if you have some time! Will be visiting you often, as always.

  20. Oh, wonderful images, all! I especially love that one photo of the gondolier with the cell phone--it so made me smile. I remember the first time I rode in a gondola and all the gondoliers were holding cell phones while they maneuvered us through canals. I thought that seemed so incongruous, but it did make me smile. You can take me back to Italy any ol' time!!
