Just because you’re nice folks, and I see some things around Venice that defy classification, and I want you to see them!
Well, it seems Florence doesn’t have the monopoly on Della Robbia pieces. Or, Della Robbia lookalikes. This was near the Chiesa San Zaccaria.
I don’t think this cat in the pet shop is for sale. Mind you, I didn’t stop to ask.
How’s this for elegance?
Ancient stone, modern weeds.
What good advice!
Just because I have to include some red.
Aha! I teeny-tiny pissota! Newish readers can find out about these here: public-service-notice
And, an image of proper Venetian rowing, with Babbi Natale.
Hello World 
A nice collection of interesting things, Yvonne. That cat looks very comfortable. I’m sure he belongs. And more rowing Santas – you’ve made my day.

Being a Doctor Who fan, I prefer to say “I think inside the Box because it’s bigger on the inside.” 🙂
Lovely collection of photos. (Especially the rowing. I keep thinking – I wonder if I could manage that type of rowing….?)

hah! Good observation re: Dr Who and the Box.
Of course you could do that type of rowing! There’s a group here who conduct lessons, everyone I know who has done this has loved it!

Thanks for a great year of touring. And don’t come back until fire season is over. You can look if you want.

It has been really bad, hasn’t it? I was so happy to hear the temperatures have dropped, and I think they even got some rain in the place where my cat lives.

I hope it keeps raining! The homeowners must really want the same thing. (That’s really close to where I live.)

Lovely compilation, my friend.
I think unless that pissota is lower than it looks it would not deter short men.

It was having such a nice nap, Joanne.
Today started sunny, but a very thick fog descended this afternoon. It looks nice, but isn’t it chilly?
