Every day, little things happen, that make us laugh, or cry or simply stop and think.
For some time, I had been considering toting my camera most days, so I could capture some of these vignettes of life. This has lead to the creation of my blog.
Come along with me, an ordinary person, to see what I see, to go where I go.
This is Venice, 1980. Little did I know it was to become an obsession later in my life!
Silkie is enjoying your blogs!
Grazie, bella. Now, we have to get you to start yours. Randallo (I’ll get it right one day) can help you!
AliDa is enjoying your blogs very much as well!
Just because I twisted your arm, you did a spontaneous comment? See, not so painful after all. Well, maybe the arm is a little sore, that’ll heal AliDa.
Ciao Bella Yvonne, I love your blog!
Ciao, bella! Welcome, and enjoy it with me! xx
Hi Yvonne: Gay sent this on to me. Fantastic! You look terrific!
Thanks, Norma, what a nice thing to say!
Looks like you are an expert in this field, great post and keep up the great work, my friend recommended me this.

I just tried to “address” your difficulty in leaving comments on my blog and instead only managed to somehow delete in one fell foolish swoop something like all of the last 30 comments left over the last I don’t know how many entries!! I fortunately have at least the last entry you posted today on my gmail account and even my response to it (also deleted) on my gmail–BUT I can’t put either of them on the blog as comments again. Can you repost today’s comment? Do you have it somewhere? I think I actually–after making a big mess–changed something that should allow you to post readily. If you don’t have what you posted and would like me to email it to you so you can re-post it, you could let me know that in your comment & then I’ll try to figure out how to get you my address…?
Oh, no. What a disaster! The wonderful world of blogdom, eh? Crumbs, I hope you can get things sorted, Steven.
Okay, I’m sorry to bother you again, but I figured out how to at least repost your comment from today. The others are long gone, but, well, at least not every single one… Please delete this comment and my previous one as this space should be devoted to expressing how interesting your blog is–and it is– rather than blabbing on about my own incompetence!
Man, this blogging is a big learning curve. Don’t worry. No one seems to look at this part of my blog .. it’s our little secret! Hey, 177 days now. A mere nothing. I’m busy knitting scarves, hats, mittens ….
Bonjour Yvonne, comme vous j’ai connu Venise en 1980 et depuis je n’ai jamais cessé de l’aimer, passion ou folie je ne sais pas, mais j’adore cela et je pense que cette maladie-là ne me quittera jamais !
à bientôt
Danielle
Buongiorno! Yes, what is it about Venice that gets right into our very heart and soul? It is a mystical place, that reveals itself little by little. A presto!
Love the 1980 photos! Keep up the good work. Whether it’s about Venice or Australia, I want to “follow along”.
Hi, Barb, nice to see you on this page! You’d really like Venice right now, so cool and crisp. Still too many flippin’ people around, though, and they’re definitely not all Venetians.
see i do read your blog!!! there are some beautiful photos. it did look bleak yesterday. KZ xx
KZ!!!! What a surprise! I’m listening to good old ABC Classic FM right now. I little touch of home. XXXX to you, Fb and the beasts.
what a pretty cat and what an amazing thing to get to see!!!! they are real craftsmen aren’t they.
this is KZ by the way!!!
Holy Cow!!! Welcome to my world, KZ. You and FB should consider joining me next winter, you can ski over here! xxx
I admire your patience and effort at doing this. Every day I walk through Venice and am not sure what to do with the mosaic of images I’m left with by evening. Maybe we’ll stumble into eachother, both taking photos. Cheers, Helena
Hi, Helena
There’s so much to see and marvel at, isn’t there? How long are you here?
I first went to Venice in 1963 and it has become an obsession with me, as well. I have been there many times and have pictures in every room of my house! Thanks for sharing..
My goodness, that is a long term obsession!!
I’m not even sure now how I stumbled onto your blog…but thank goodness I did. I have scanned back over a number of past entries and am sitting here just thrilled. I was back in Venice last May and have renewed my love of the city. Thanks, Al
Hi, Al. It’s nice to welcome another lover of Venice! And, we’re fellow Queenslanders, it seems. Now I’ll have a look at yours to see what’s happening back home.
I am under Her spell, as well. My first visit was Apr. 2009 (I talk about her every day and visit vicarioulsy by blogs(VDP, Venice Experience, Venice Blog and now yours!) Thanks for your beautiful, informative walks through Her streets! I will return! Kaye
I like the way you say “Her”! She is majestic, isn’t she? I hope you get to return many times, Kaye
After retiring recently I have had more time on my hands. I recently found your blog, what a treasure!!! Thanks for sharing your incredible knowledge.
for the next time I can bite that hook. Until then, thanks for the window into your blessed life in Serenissima.
My name on another site is Hooked, a reference to what happened to me on my 1st visit to Venice. I was hooked, reeled in like a fish on a line. When I’m not in Venice I’m just waiting, impatiently
Welcome to my blog. I am back in Australia again, but will continue to post. How does that Venice do it? She captures so many people with no effort. Maybe our paths will cross there, one day!
Chilly Canada is my home. Australia…… another wish. Maybe a good sgroppino one day!
Hi Yvonne!
Thank you for your blog and your enthousiasm for life.
I have a very precise question to put to you : where did you got the information about the pissote? I’m doing research about the XVI venetian writer Andrea CAlmo and i’m wondering why he calls Aphrodite ‘Venere pissota’ and i can’t find anything! Thank you for your answer

Hello, Claudie
I have sent you an email with the link to the site where I got the name of these structures.
