Just A Nap!


Taken on April 9th 2012







This photo was captured during our afternoon walk on Pasquetta, as Easter Monday is called in Italy. I posted more photos on News From Italy in a post today entitled Tourists in Town - Festa del Cioccolato

  2. I like the name "pasquetta", it seems cheerful - here in Liguria the tradition is to go for a "merendino", a picnic in one of the few flat areas. Hope you had a lovely Easter weekend!

  9. I wonder if that is a mallard or a rouen duck? I wasn't aware you had mallards in your part of the world. Such a cute photo -- I just love ducks. :)

  12. You really caught such great detail in your mallard shot, as well as an interesting pose. I like that touch of blue in the plumage.

Welcome to my photography blog, where I share the world as seen through my lens. All commenter's will receive a visit back from me but no longer individual replies unless you have a question, which I will respond to here. Your praise and kind words are always appreciated but to keep saying thankyou to you all individually, in an original way is not easy. So I am saying it here instead, a massive thankyou from my heart for all the wonderful support, your comments are a great encouragement to me.
