a camel in Venice

On a Venetian wall - opposite Tintoretto's house and Signor Rioba.

Signor Rioba with the Madonna del Orte

This has the Moro with the tower of the church of the Madonna del Orte behind. I think it's my favourite of the three.

You will be relieved to know this is the last of the snowy Black Mountain photographs that I am going to publish while the spring sunshine is out.

I've just got back from Venice with I hope at least one or two worth showing here. I was pleased with the ones I took on my previous visit so I hope these turn out to be as good. I'm a little worried though as I know I was careless with the camera settings so some might have turned out a disaster. I guess I'll only find out when I get round to downloading them all.

I'm going to Venice for a few days tomorrow. More from there soon I'm sure.

It seems strange looking at these pictures of the snow from only a few weeks ago on a sunny Easter Sunday!

It looks like Christmas rather than Easter!

So wintry ...

... and it has been so spring-like today.

I'm shivering just looking at it!

Now that we've got some really lovely, sunny, spring weather here I've finally got to the snowy photographs I took in Wales in February! I never do seem to manage to be topical! I love the picture of this tit shivering on the fence wire though.
