You Capture Faces

This weeks You capture theme is Faces and I just captured these faces this morning, my son and his little friend. We had a blast having a little impromptu photo shoot.

Visit You Capture to join in the fun!

Most Romantic Places

This weeks theme at I Heart Faces is Romantic Places I Love and there is no question to me that has to be Italy. Anywhere in Italy really. I’ve been several times thanks to my parents being Italian and having lots of family there, I wanted to live there once upon a time after spending the summer there after high school. My husband and I have been twice together and just love it.

These photos were taken back in the day, 1999, 2002…before digital cameras were the norm, so they’ve been scanned.  I applied a few actions from the Pioneer Woman to these to help them look better.

Venice of course is #1…

Our first and only gondola ride.

Juliet’s balcony in Verona…this is close to where my family lives.

Florence

Amazing architecture, Basilica in Florence.

Basilica from a distance.

Cinque Terre on the Italian Riviera is a close second to Venice in terms of Romantic places…just beautiful. Pastel hued buildings just nestled into the cliffside. The Cinque Terre are 5 such villages, very remote and connected by a hiking trail, if you are adventurous enough to tackle it.

And the Isle of Capri…view from the look out on Monte Solare
