Truly, a stolen moment of peace

A hot sunny afternoon in the Piazza della Republica, Cortona, Italy. Time to sit, relax, watch the world go by and maybe grab a few minutes of sleep.

Poppies in Bloom

Poppies seem such delicate flowers, their paper thin petals flutter gently in the breeze through an Italian olive grove, their bright red dazzles as they seem to cling to life everywhere spring.

Trees full of Life

May in Tuscany. The false acacia black locust trees are heavy with sweet scented creamy white blossom, a magnet for bees. When you stand and listen the trees hum with the sound of the bees.
