The other day my wife Jen had a long errand to run and I suggested she take along our small camera, as one of the excellent photographers (Bert) who contributes to the Venice Daily Photo blog (http://venicedailyphoto.blogspot.com) has reminded me that one should never go out in this city without a camera. She seemed too focused on her particular errand to even consider the idea--but then she returned home with these.
She, like the city, is full of pleasant surprises.

You and Bert are dead right about that. The very time you haven't got a camera with you, the once in a lifetime opportunity pops up in front of you.
ReplyDeleteNow, isn't Jan glad she listened to you!
Jen, good stuff. I always thought you had a good eye, well... two good eyes.
ReplyDeleteJennifer,
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had such a good time taking pictures that maybe you forgot to run the errand. The camera may be a good reminder that we can always be playful no matter how focused we get on getting things done. Maybe life is what really happens in-between ??????????????? How did that saying go. I think I was on to saying something profound but I can't figure out how to finish it.
Actually, Jen had fortunately already finished her errand by the time she took these photos; these were taken on the long walk home from nearly one end of the city (length-wise) to the other.
