This morning, I had to go back to the apartment, because I had been undecided about whether to take the camera, or not. It had been cloudy, but then the sun came out, so I retraced my steps.
Thank goodness I did, or I would have missed capturing this little vignette of life in Venice.
This young fellow was diving for a carton of frozen product within his delivery boat. He found it, and emerged triumphant.
And, I wouldn’t have been able to take a photo of this paving stone, with a mysterious marking.
Hello World 
Maybe that top photo IS Johnny Depp!

I remember you spotting a boat transporting frozen stuff one day, Lynda.

I love the top photo! Wow! That’s dedication.
I almost never leave home without a camera these days, but last week I did and happened upon the artist I’d seen sketching on the riva a few days earlier set up with his easel beside a beautifully flowering tree in the giardini and wearing one of the best and most picturesque and (most functional) painting outfits I could imagine. Oh well… So I suppose I can never read your titular advice often enough.

Thanks, Lou! Each of these photos made me breathe a sigh of happiness that I had the camera with me.

There have been times I wished I had taken my camera to work with me….not to take pictures there but on the way home! I guess I could carry the little one (not the one on my phone) at all times.
Of course then I would have the problem of finding a place to pull over out of the traffic so I could take that photo.
I won’t have that problem in Venice! And as Yvonne discovered….even on a cloudy day photo ops abound.

A little camera in your pocket or purse is a good idea, Michelle.

Always take your camera. After all, there could be Johnny Depps lurking around the next corner.

It gets a little heavy on my shoulder, by the end of a day, but it’s worth it, even for one good photo.
