Someone said "Everyone is raving about how amazing Mars is. It really is nothing on what we have." What about the Grand Canyon of Tuscany? That strange landscape of 'Le Balze" unusual sceneries, something that you don't expect to see in Tuscany. Beauty is all around waiting for us to notice and appreciate them. All this reminding us of the beauty that’s right in front of our eyes, no need to fantasize about how amazing Mars is. Have a beautiful day, noisy friends 🤩 📍Le…

Searching for a magic door to an enchanted world. Found it! Now I will take my mind out of its thinking & reason and will try to immerse myself into this fascinating world listen to the birds and that busy bee over there. Who knows what are they saying? Maybe that it's a nice Wednesday. 🤩 Have a nice one, noisy friends. Adding this to #splashot #Dana📸

Hello noisy friends 🙋 here is a #throwback from 4 years ago, OTD, a perfect day-trip from Siena to Abbey of San Galgano, the very first abbey built in the classic gothic forms, in Tuscany. Let me start my virtual tour by walking through the beautiful alley of cypresses towards this enormous abbey by now without more traces of the roof. Yes, without a roof cause, according to CastelliToscani, "on the 6 of January 1786 the bell tower, with its 36 meters high, collapsed…

The wonder of snowflakes ❄️ Wednesday morning was so cold outside. Ready with my de-icing spray to ...but hey! wait a min.! Incredible lacy patterns had decorated my car. I tried to capture these six-sided symmetry and I had to hurry to feast my eyes on the delicate natural artworks before my frozen car start defrosted. Was a lot harder than I thought cause I'm not so good. Anyway here they are when ❄️become haiku. #Dana📸

Bruschetta with tomato & basil. We like it as an appetizer. Ok, it's a summer appetizer but also perfect for a chilly winter starter if there is such a beautiful sunny day and the smell of fresh cool air reminds that after every winter comes spring, right? Bruschetta is one of Italy’s favorite snacks, perfect for appetizer. Aromatically speaking, tomatoes & basil pair so very well together. One of the best ways to enjoy your Sunday apperitifs. #Dana📸

That moment of the day when the sky had something to say and we were all in awe of its immense beauty. Well, sometimes we get on your knees in front of such great beauty. The colors gradually got darker scattering purple and pink, leaving oranges and reds. Once again our beautiful Mother Nature put on such a gorgeous sunset for us! Hello noisy friends 🙋 hope the weekend was great and now you are feeling ready to cherish every moment of this new week.

Hello noisy friends!Come on, let's go out for a walk. Beautiful day out walking around. Look up at the blue sky. Time to look with fresh eyes at the planet we live. Large trees with outstretched branches is mostly leafless, seems they are saying something. What are they saying? Listening to what? To the silence. Magic layers of silence. It's Chooseday! Take a deep breath and slowly exhale with a smile. I choose to smile 😊 #Dana📸

Adding this to #splashot You have to admit that it's fun to peek through, to go to find something different in the neighbor's courtyards, but don't get caught! 😁 Ah look ... a very eye-catching plant, a majestic agave! Beautiful foliage and its bold structure makes agave plant very attractive visual point. It will stand out as a point where attention is required. Indeed, it is a very showy plant. #Dana📸

Happy #ThrowbackThursday! Back around to August 2019. Throwback to being at the beautiful Monastery de San Juan de los Reyes 📍Toledo, Spain. Beautiful monastery hidden away in Toledo. Stunning inside and out. The cute lil courtyard with the orange trees is so charming, brings about a sense of tranquility and compliments the sightseeing. You'll be amazed by the astonish architecture and historical atmosphere. Don't miss if you are in Toledo. #Dana📸

Springing! And an invitation not to disturb. So many blooms. They springing up all over the place. Cooling temperatures put these beauties into a kind of sleep from which they could not awake until they felt that winter had passed. But an early warm spells and a very well exposed slope is enough to awake them and suddenly these beauties sprang up! Yay, it's Friyay! #Dana📸

~Because in Tuscany, wine is a serious matter~ Chianti is a dry, red wine made in 📍Tuscany, Italy. But how does it taste? Sniff its bouquet, try to identify the rustic aromas. Take a sip. Did you feel its texture? Someone said : "It smells like grapes and tastes like wine" Cheers to that! Get ready to enjoy a glass of Chianti wine. For a toast to good flavors, because in Tuscany, as I said, wine is a serious matter. #Dana📸

Sunday at the lake, accessible to all types of recreators. 'Cause sometimes there is the urge to feel the fresh breeze that comes from the lake. So after lunch we went to the lake to cherish the early arrival of the spring. Unfortunately the sun never showed up. Sun, where are you? This early spring scene on the lake definitely drab in color but we'll be back on a sunny day. #Dana📸

Blue Monday? Feeling blue? Give a tree a hug! Have a Green Valentine's Day! Cause we love our Mother Nature, we have a meaningful relationship.

And hugging trees as well as being good for our health can generate a multitude of positive emotions. Lovely day chilling in this magical place enjoying such a wonderful feeling of relaxation. ... and then you’re happily…

Hello noisy friends, what's for lunch? I will delight myself with an amazingly tasteful millefeuille of potatoes, row ham, pecorino cheese & friarielli (it tastes delicious even without friarielli) and grilled and stuffed mushrooms with gorgonzola cheese and a sprinkling of parsley I'll catch up with you later, now I'm hungry. 😋 Buon appetito! #Dana📸

It's Thursday! that’s right, #TBT! The day when we enjoy the beautiful moments of the past and here is a #throwback from 5years ago. When in Portugal. ❤️ There is something indisputably charming about the colorful houses from Portugal. I've been always curious to imagine who lives in them, cause each house has a great story to tell about its people and the place where it's located. #Dana📸

I know, It’s a bit early, as most trees are still asle...I mean, not quite asleep but neither not quite awake, blissfully napping I'd say 🥱 there's delicate buds erupting with beautiful pink flowers. Yep! just when most other plants are still dreamy in wintry doze. Blissfully napping but not the almond tree! The almond tree is starting to blossom becoming the first of the spring bloomers to strut proudly its stuff. There will be a coming and going of bees, that kind of joy.…

It's Sunday and usually we wake up later. Even the windows are still asleep with their funny striped pajamas. ⚠️ Respect the usually quiet time hours of the lazy Sunday and keep silence ‼️ While someone still sleeping, some are just early risers, walking around the city and taking some photos before the world wakes up and the hustle & bustle begin. And when most of the world is up and about, here is a glimpse of an usually harmonious neighbor. A happy sleepy one. 📍 Burano,…

Yesterday we took advantage of the nice weather and had a barbecue for lunch. And here are my tasty grilled peppers.😋 Grilled peppers are beyond easy to make. Red, yellow and orange bell peppers are the sweetest. After having remove the blackened grilled skin, sprinkle with salt and dress them with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Serve them warm . Truly fabulous! Someone said "barbecue is more of an art than a science" I agree! #Dana📸

I could stay for hours and watch raindrops on the flowers. These are my 2 very first daffodils. They are truly amazing, isn't it? We have a narrow interlude every early spring to enjoy their beauty, their joyous quality. And even if was raining this morning, this blaze of glorious white& yellow colour brighten up the vernal season. Happy Friyay, lovely noisy friends. #Dana📸

I don't know anything about about lumen ratings and watt ratings but I have a true passion for old fashioned street lamps. Their purpose is to bring back elegantly, the charm of the old days. Beautifully lit up. Looking forward to see the wondrous effect of the majestic glowing when light up the night. Dear city, you are pretty. #Dana📸

Often washed away in severe storms, simple yet romantic with many sea stories to tell, lighthouses have kept our sailors safe in the seafaring life and stormy nights. But lately they have become a thing of the past, a tourist destinations to people from around the world. Taken at 📍Fuerteventura, last December #Dana📸

Where should we go today? Pistoia in half a day! - from yesterday's getaway to 📍Pistoia, a small town in Tuscany, Italy. Narrow streets lied us to the lovely historic centre of the town, particularly rich in medieval monuments like Baptistery, the majestic Cathedral of St. Zeno, The bell tower and many other extraordinary artworks. Pistoia has an impressive medieval center that deserves a visit. Happy Monday, noisy friends 🙋 #Dana📸
