  commenting on your last three blogs. Your house looks great you have done a wonderful job. I am almost done with my Walla Walla cottage. Life is like a rose but as you have found the beauty does not come without spines. Old Italian proverb. “Non c’e rosa sensa spine”

    🙂 Yes, there are plenty of “spine!” Congratulations on your renovation, Dennis. I bet it’s great.

  I love how you capture the everyday life of the locals. This older gent seems to be enjoying having his picture taken. You must be possessed of considerable charm to elicit such a joyful response from him.

    For some wonderful reason, Sicilians adore being photographed (which makes life great for a photographer).

  Love the composition of that photo – the happy guy on the right outside in the daylight vs. the sullen guy on the left peeking out from the shadows.

    Grazie, Sam. This is one of those circoli for retired men.
