Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.

May you have the courage to toss your dreams into space like a kite in 2011, dear Reader, and may it bring back all you wish for.

You can tell it’s the new year here in Sicily. Christmas tablecloths have been hung out to dry.
Aprons have been washed.
Houses are being scrubbed. Duvets flap in a mild Mediterranean breeze (sort of like kites). A new start for a new year.

These photos are so colorful and just fantastic. You can feel a crispness in the air!
Happy New Year to you! Oh, and I love that quote!
Thank you Lucinda. Glad you like! Your recent blogpost has fabulous photos of landscapes and clouds!
I better throw my dreams up like a helium balloon – my kites were always dive-bombing disasters.
Yup, whatever works for you, Sam.
I loved the sight of laundry gaily hanging from clotheslines, balconies, window ledges wherever we went in Calabria. The opposite of airing one’s dirtly laundry in public!
I love laundry, too!!! You’d think I’d get sick of photographing it, but no, never!
This post is so beautiful with its nostalgic images! I would love, love to live where you live with those gorgeous whitewashed facades!
Happy New Year to you too!
Just a thought, you must have great calves from climbing those streets…
No gym in town, just endless flights of stairs-seems to do the trick!
