26 February 2019 - Shot with Lensbaby & Fuji X-E1

For many years I have abhorred sunset photographs. And in this century I have a particular distaste for those taken with smart phones.

And yet here I am using a sunset to illustrate this blog. Perhaps the reason for it is that my sunset view of the Ponte a Santa Trinità in Florence brings me wonderful memories of that trip there and to Venice with Rosemary in 2019.

Venice & Zemblanity

She organized the trip from our bed with her iPhone and somehow got us the best hotels and economical airline tickets.

In Florence we had a hotel right on the water and just a few blocks from Ponte Vecchio. We would walk to the bridge and right there there was a supermarket that featured a machine that squeezed blood oranges. We drank lots of it.

Yesterday when my youngest daughter Hilary visited me for dinner I prepared a meal that was all Rosemary. We drank blood orange juice and had a salad and Yorkshire pudding.

I often repeat here St. Luke’s words from the King James Bible:

“Do this in Remembrance of me.”
