From Monday afternoon to Thursday evening I have been here.
A great experience, as always if you are “lucky enough” to go there.
There happened a lot of things, but, the first amazing one happened while I was reaching my Hotel in Rimini:
This little butterfly was flying all around us, stop on this rusted railing, or whatever it is, and stopped just for the time of 3 shots.
Some friends said that it was a pity that it was on a rusted object, I don’t think so… or we couldn’t say that Beauty can be found everywhere.
I went to see shooting stars and trying to catch a picture of one of them. I took no shooting star picture, but I had the pleasure to see the show given by the more “static” stars…and appreciate the difference of color and length path of each of them:
It was cold, cooler than I thought because it had rained the previous afternoon and the moon rose, making the “seeing” less good, but there was something of really good to enjoy:
the just risen, amazing, moon!
We went to sleep (at about 3.30 am) saying to each other: “We’ll wake at 5am and see how the sky looks like”… we woke up at 7am, and just because the sun had just “risen” from the nearby little wood! ;D
We surely couldn’t go back of 2 hours, but we went out to check if there was some amazing … nothing.
But, we’ve notice a little bashful “young lady”, that showed itself just the time of a couple of pictures and then flown away… as it just wanted to wish a “Good Morning”…

or just didn’t want to distract me from another amazing show, that I wish I could see from my window in Catania, but that I can just see at my country house…

… and this show allowed me to take the best picture of the day, and I even hadn’t thought that I was going to take a picture of Mt. Etna
It’s so weird that, if we talk about picture, I have no problem if something goes in a way I didn’t plan, and to be able to appreciate the unexpected.
With the passing of time, looks like that this “maybe-gift” and “sure-distraction” of taking pictures is, somehow, the way that Someone is using to tell me:
<<Whoever has “eyes” to see ought to see!>>
Finally, after 29 days of stop, on Sunday I have been able to take some pictures again:
One from the group chosen with no particular reason:
even if I like the ide of the little gecko getting out from the dark room (my bedroom) to get freedom again… even if before getting it the little guy had to stand me tickling with the “cotton-kind” part of a weird plant (where the butterly is standing in this picture):
… I had to make the gecko getting out the house. ^_^
I was happy, there fore I added 6 pictures to the Catania close-up gallery, that, of course, is currently unavaible. I will fix it in the afternoon.
and, dulcis in fundo, I created a new logo for this site:
I love the sea, I love taking pictures…
That’s the sea in winter,
it’s summer…
why shouldn’t I post this picture? ;D
