Modica Sicily, Easter Holiday

I love all these beautiful run down doors...

And the square cut trees!

The blue blue skies

Against the vanilla bourbon walls


And the contrast of the two


And oh the sunshine! 

Easter break in Sicily- more pics


Love the blue ceramics in the garden


An amazing and impressive cemetery 


Delicious espresso


The "pini" (pine cones) a symbol for prosperity, abundance, fertility...


The Easter procession in Noto; Jesus Christ

On his way to meeting mother Mary.


And confetti! 



Easter in Sicily- more pics!

 

Emma in Noto



The mythical cinque cento in Ferrari red! 


Local marketing technique; bunnies & parrots


I love the lemon tree in our garden. I wonder how old it is...? 


Candle light & fireplace for heat at the home we are staying in... Cosy! 

Local produce for a simple cold dinner...


Good morning! 


And breakfast time! 



With hats borrowed from the house owners... 

It's SO good to feel the warmth of the sun and sit in the green of nature again after a winter of concrete in Milan. 

Happy Easter from Sicily

 
The Etna as seen from the plane on the way here...


Driving to the rented house there was a sheep jam. 

One of my favorite colours, rustic pink and green garden backdrop...

Milano

Not quite home, too much noise and traffic, but I feel I am mostly out of the "rejecting" phase and getting to see some of the beauty here... I still miss Greece though.

Back to Vienna 2

A couple of months ago, William said: "Mummy I can't remember very well where I was born... Can we go there?" And so, thanks to my miles from flights to Miami, off we went to Vienna. And what fun we had, visiting favorite parks and restaurants and Xmas markets!
