I've not yet had the opportunity to travel overseas and have developed a deep love of anything Italian or French. Your posts are like a glimpse into a beautiful dream. I know we'll get there one day, but in the meantime, I'm very contented to view Italy through your eyes. I'm sure you'll be approached by a publisher to assemble a book of all your photographic delights.<br /><br />I hope you've had a good week with plenty of time for good food and friends.

Of course, most of the time I didn't even have a camera, but when I did, I tended not to use it. Didn't want anyone to think I was a tourist! I wasn't as I lived there, but what a silly reason for not taking advantage of the beauty surrounding me. I guess I will just have to go back at some point and take all those pictures I missed. Anyway, lovely tree pictures. I have a thing for trees and have had an idea for a project involving photos of trees for years now. Maybe this will be the inspiration I need to get my bum in gear!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />TamerieTamerie Shriver Hallidayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520049303830446498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2066317770814487381.post-48033945561166742092010-01-15T03:28:23.564+11:002010-01-15T03:28:23.564+11:00Trees with this kind of character grow at timberli...Trees with this kind of character grow at timberline here - pointing in the direction the winds have taken them.
