I found this behind a trailer behind an antique store in the TINY town of Oro Grande, California on old Route 66. Sometimes the most interesting stuff is just out of sight — it pays to explore.

But sometimes you find a rattlesnake.

No blueberries for you… :-(

This is in the Venice Lagoon, approaching Burano Island, Italy, on a lazy Sunday afternoon. What a life!

Get your kicks here…

…on Route 66. This is the tiny town of Oro Grande, in the Mojave Desert between Victorville and Barstow, California. Was very lucky to catch that gorgeous orange train. This section of Route 66 has dozens of great photo ops — it’s well worth a day trip from the Los Angeles area.

And, if you look closely, you’ll find a cow on the roof!

It would be hard to NOT fall in love here…

Burano is a colorful island in the Venice Lagoon. It’s about a 30-minute boat ride from Venice and it’s a gorgeous tour of the island from the water. The day I visited, there was a regatta (lucky!), so the boat dropped us off at the stop before the main dock, and we had to walk a short distance along this gorgeous path. It was Sunday, and I suspect this adorable couple had been to church and were out strolling.
