A Bride Almost Fell In

June 25, 2013

The hot sun dropped and shutters banged open.

I unbolted my big green doors to bring in cool air after the torpor of the day, and a bride almost fell in.

Somehow I caught her with my camera.

He smiled. She turned.

Then the sweethearts posed for me.

I live near what Italians call a belvedere, panoramic view. So that’s why brides float around my street in June, like clouds of spun sugar against a Mediterranean sky.

PS. She’s standing up on the sidewalk; he’s down on the street.
