Reflections of My World in Orvieto, Italy-February 2009


I loved the reflection(s) in these two captures. The sky was beautiful and filled with huge and billowy clouds when I visited Orvieto, Italy in February. I thought you might enjoy. Aren't the painted poppy platters gorgeous? I was so tempted but, refrained.

Please stop by and visit the MY WORLD MEME hosted by the fab team of Klaus | Sandy | Ivar | Wren | Fishing Guy| Louise. We had over 100 visitors last week.

How gorgeous. I wasnt even paying attention to the reflection. I was wonderfully distracted by the colorful painted pot and plates.

Oh Erin, I am so loving the old imperfect walls as backdrop to those shots of colour on the pottery. Simply delicious!

Hi, Erin, you always take beautiful photos. When to come to CA, and if you are in the neighborhood (Glendale?), please let me know, maybe if you have spare time, we can meet up. Enjoy your week.

Re the US OUT banner in my post...as you and a number of posters pointed out, there is a check mark next to the words, so it should be read as 'Check Us Out'.

OK, that makes sense ... to an American. However, I'm originally from New Zealand and there, that mark is a tick mark ...so my Kiwi brain was getting totally confused!! :-)

These are wonderfully colorful images that capture a different time and place for me.

Daryl said...
