Florence Remembered Part One

Pizzalle Michelangelo 

Piazalle Michelangelo is a square of a panoramic view 

of the city of Florence.  It's located in the Oltrano district of the city.

 Bronze cast of David facing Florence from the center of the square.

The glory of the city and its expanse.  From this point you can see the wonder of Burnelleschi's dome over the Florence Cathedral (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Fiore/Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower)

View of the Ponte Vecciho and the Arno River from the Piazzlae.

As I looked at these photos I remembered the awe I felt when I saw the city of Florence from this advantage point.  There is such beauty in its antiquity.  I wonder about those who live there and in all of Italy as in the rest of the world at this time of world wide illness and deaths from the corona virus.  It's history has been full of plagues, epidemics, and wars, and yet it still stands.

Thanks be to God!

Peace Be With You

Mont Saint Michel

An Island of Peace

Appears in isolation

But peace is found there

In this time of uncertainty I find spending time with past memories fills the void with the absence of close friends and family.  I hope  you all are finding peace in your own way! Off to take a quiet and peaceful walk.

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God

Nature's Love

Nature shows it's love

When the branches are entwined

Oh, the dance of love.

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!!

Saint Patrick's Day Eve

 On the Eve of Saint Patrick's Day I'd like to offer you a bit of the scenery I was privileged to see on my visit to Ireland nearly 6 months ago now.

Oh, to be on the Emerald Isle on Saint Patrick's Day. 

Wouldn't it be grand?

"May you always walk in sunshine

May you never want for more

May Irish angel wings rest right beside your door"

Irish Blessing

~~~^j^~~~

Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you all!!!

and

Thanks be to God!
