butterfly shell

'Butterfly shell' was taken along the beach in Sicily. My hubby found it and gave it to me - what a sweetheart.

the red door

The Red Door was taken in one of the most beautiful spots on earth; the Cinque Terre, which is along the Mediterranean coast above Pisa. 'Cinque Terre' literaly means 'five lands' - it's a collection of five small cities clustered on the coastal cliffs that are simply breathtaking. This door belonged to one of the small stores there. I love all the varied, bright colors on the door and the circular decoration in the middle with birds on it. So unique and absolutely gorgeous.
