Just a few fragments from today, when the weather was most pleasant, again.
Wouldn't this be a nice view to come home to?
But, who did this graffitti?
There’s always time for reflection …
Another feathered friend
This was about 5 cm long, on paper, and right by a gondola station.
A big example. (Thanks Bert)
And, here’s when it was built, I guess.
Now for the request. If you feel like it, please send me a post card, with just the date, your name and city on it. They’d be fun to receive, and I’ll post details of each as they arrive. (I love getting real mail.)
The address:
Yvonne
San Marco, 1671 Venezia 30124 Italia.
Grazie!

You know the original plan was for me to spend some time there with you this year too….but life is what happens when you are making other plans.
I am so delighted with your blog…even if I can’t be there in person.
Lili says you are responsible for petting every kitty you can get close to for her. I know some cats are standoffish but she just loves other animals.

I’ll hold the very tiny, and would probably fit, book until you return to Atherton.
I have just the postcard and will try to get it into the mail this weekend!

Hi, Lou and Pete, and the 2 important members of the family! I am having the best time, no pressure of a short visit, just ambling.I dreamed last night that I won a lottery, and I was going to spend even more time here! I was thinking today how nice it would be if you 2 were here right now. Oh, the spritz ….

Yvonne… you manage to capture IT. Not sure if it is the skill of your photography or just what you happen to spot – you do it anyway.

I have a picture of that “view to come home to” in my first trip in 2008…Mike took be there and we watched the fish in the water. Yes, there are lovely fish living in the canals.
Lovely idea about the postcards. I was going to ask for your address because I just finished a lovely little book I thought you might enjoy. You could pass it on to someone there. Wow, wouldn’t they be impressed with a package from Seattle. Or I could hold the book till you’re back in Atherton but it has to get to you eventually.
I’ll send the postcard no matter what.
Love from me and Lili

I think packages could be dodgy, and reckon just a postcard, which will get into the little mailbox!
That particular corte was so peaceful and pretty.

That ‘stump’ with the date looks like a flagpole pedestal to me, Yvonne. My guess would be that the pissotta was built around it. For followers in your footsteps, this one is attached to the church of Sant’ Agnese in Dorsoduro.
Your splendid second photo was taken where there might have been a spinning-mill nearby.

Would there have been a flagpole so close to the church? I now have to go and check out the distance from the church walls!
There were so many different factories, etc. in Venice at one time, eh?

I love the gondola drawing. Mail from Mexico would never get through to you, unfortunately.

It was so tiny, and if I hadn’t stopped to look at something else, I would have missed it completely. Give it a try with the postcard, just for the heck of it!

It took me more than one time looking at the photos searching for “Miss Eleni” when I suddenly figured it out. 🙂 A little slow tonight!
You do find the coolest things to photograph! I am going to try to follow in your footsteps in April, but I am sure I won’t be able to find half the interesting things you’ve found in the short time you’ve been there.
I like the post card idea. Watch for one from my little corner of the world.
