La Mia Sirena
Here's to the flattered blush of the sea caught in the gaze of an admiring sky.
Here's to the water that softens the wind with a salty whisper.
Here's to the warmth that will return next year, allowing me to float weightless once again.
Here's to the photogenic object of my affection.
Here's to an image with the power to validate my choices when doubts render me (almost) unable to enjoy the beauty of a moment.
Here's to my island.

Tracie b. - Your fotos, your words, and your father's comment reminds me of the most difficult emotions that an immigrant must rationalize. The love of what you have become and your life weigh against the emotional ties to what made you who you are.

ooooooooohhhh!!!!
I have similar sentiments running through my head right now, as I am reading this in Florence where I'm spending the weekend.

Here I'll come to visit, if your husband doesn't mind. :)
I wont stay long, just a couple of years.

Wow...I had no idea that you were a poet. This was absolutely beautiful...and we ALL can see where your inspiration comes from :)
What a life!
On another note, however, have you ever heard of the muscadine grape...or muscadine wine. I think it is native to the US...the Carolina's specifically...but I think it's delicious and would love to know your thoughts.

Well said Tracie.

Gorgeous, gorgeous photo. Beautiful light. And it's lovely to see how innamorata you are with your little island.
Keep it coming! (And please don't say anything good about the Rome weather. It's perfect right now.)
