roman holiday.



So John and I went to Italy for a couple weeks to celebrate our thirtieth (yikes) anniversary.

And took pretty close to a million pictures.

I haven't even been through them all, but have been asked by family and friends to share a few.

If you're the kind of person who doesn't enjoy other's vacation slide show, feel free to move on.

We won't be offended.

The rays of light in St. Peter's Basilica were absolutely amazing.

 

I think I want to be a street photographer when I grow up.

 

V E N I C E

 Bubble chasing.

Bird feeding.

Bride photographing.

 Seriously, this was so sweet. 

With crowds of people strolling through the piazza,

this groom held a private little photo session with his bride.

I just couldn't resist joining him!

 This colorful little fishing community is in the same lagoon as Venice.

I thought I had landed at the end of  a rainbow.
It might be the cheeriest place on earth.

 Our daughter spent some time in Italy when she was in college and said this was her favorite place.

I might have to agree.

That one leaning tower.

 

 View of Florence from the bell tower.

And cell phone selfie inside the bell tower.

"Closing thoughts?" I asked John.

"It was glorious," he answered.

 

That works.

It was glorious.
