Eighty-Sixth Collection

In Venice the wonder is not only in the Palaces seen from outside but also in what you see from the Palaces. Here from Palazzo Donà-Brusa.

The floating cloud reflections against the weathered dock and fall colors in the distance ~ beauty in nature
“Cloud reflections at Oyster Park”-2024

On a whim, I made a quick trip to a small town called Devon. It is on a major river and usually has pretty views in the fall. I decided to include the highway bridge as a strong architectural statement in contrast to the natural surroundings.

Sitting along a Venice Canal I noticed this woman feeding the seagulls. They were all gathered around her but she was only interested in one at a time.

“Alice, perhaps?” Monterey, CA.

Loved this rural scene as we drove past so pulled up and ran back. The horses were completely involved in grazing and just being horses and took no notice of me at all. Win/win.

My husband never misses an opportunity to interact with street statues no matter where we are or who is watching. Thought it was about time I took advantage of it and posted a photo. There are probably many people around the world who do the same thing. It is amusing

“Lonesome window.” Hailey, Idaho.
