A few thoughts provoked by some photos taken on vacation in charming Burano (June 2007).
I wandered slowly past colourful houses,

the sun’s intense heat reflecting off the buildings and cobbled streets.

I crossed a bridge

and then another,

sluggish canal water reflected the myriad colours.

Each nook was a source of new wonder, a marriage of hues

or a clash of colours,

some vibrant, some muted.

A street market.

A breezy square.

Reds and yellows.

Browns and greens …

A rainbow of colours providing cheer on all but the greyest of days.
(All photos marked D. Dykstra were taken by my husband. I had not yet converted to digital photography and all my photos were taken with a trusty Pentax using film.)
I love all the different colors of houses, the hanging baskets of flowers and even the laundry. Everything looks so charming!
