Annalia S.'s photos with the keyword: colorful

One can always count on the Virginia creeper to put up an amazing autumn show. This particular colorful curtain was overshadowing a wall by the Arno River Bank path and I had to literally wait my turn to take a couple of shots of it, as nearly everybody who was out for a Saturday afternoon walk seemed to have fallen for its charm. In the pip: a closer look at the berries. Hope everyone had a good weekend despite the lockdowns that are either already en force or looming on the horizon. I confess I spent it outside taking pictures instead of answering your kind and generous comments. I know you will forgive me since it looks like we might soon be confined at home again (parts of Italy might be given lockdown orders already on Monday).

Italians have been on lockdown for nearly two weeks now. And the regulations are quite stringent - no setting foot out of the house for any reason other than essential necessities: food, medicines, walking the dog if you have one (but only briefly and only close to home). No doubt some of us are beginning to feel imprisoned in our own homes. But there are always those special moments, the ones that make you love your home, its comfort, familiarity, intimacy. For me, it's the afternoon light coming in at a slant into my small, cluttered, but colorful kitchen.
