  3. Thank you, Vicki!
    I love that this mask has soul,
    unlike most Venetian ones, who tend to neutralize any expression.

  5. Beautiful in blue and silver. Brings to mind (my mind anyway) Sarah Brightman's rendition of "La Luna"...ethereal.

  11. Sara,
    thank you!
    I have to look for Brightman's "Luna" -
    have you heard Cecilia Bartoli sing "Vaga Luna" by Bellini? Here is a link to her singing it, on Youtube (I can give you the name of the CD, with other Italian Songs, if you are interested).


    Allie!
    Venice is magical all year round.
    Spring, March through April, heaven!


    Mary Howell Cromer,
    thank you! I hope you had a wonderful day!

  12. Tash,
    thank you!
    This mask and the "Dawn" are my favorites of all the masks I have seen in Venice over several seasons.


    Arija,
    so wonderful to see you about again!
    Yes, visiting your rose garden would be heavenly pleasure. I am so glad you share it with all of us through your magnificent pictures!

    Shadow,

  14. Elizabeth,
    it's only in my dream, like you! :-)
    I took this picture three years ago.

    I know, the snow,
    one of my daughters is on her way to Washington from California, I hope she can fly out towards Vienna tonight.
