Buon San Valentino!

Happy Valentine's Day and thank you for sharing the love!

It has been a difficult year for all of us and hopefully we appreciate now more than ever our social connections to one another.

 

I hope that you are able to spend this holiday, at least, with someone(s) you care about. In lieu of that, go out and make someone's day just a bit brighter. A smile, a hug, a conversation, or a shared meal make a world of difference. Especially now.

I appreciate you! Hugs,

Kelly 

 

     Here, I would like to share with you one of my favorite photos taken in 2020.  It was Halloween and I was wandering around a foggy Venezia in Italia.  These two gondoliers, especially Fabio (on the left) REALLY wanted me to buy a ride on a gondola.  Venice, Italy, has become a bit of a ghost town after Covid hit.  It is a city that depends heavily on tourism.  However, Fabio and Stefano were simpatici with me and we had some fun conversation.  If I had had the money, they would have received it, and I would have gotten some wonderful images of Venezia in the fog from the point of view of the Grand Canal.
