Ciao Amalfi

Out and About, Video · March 4, 2009

Out & About

Since I was fifteen, I have loved taking photographs. I still have my first Kodak camera, a Christmas present from my mother, which I just can’t bear to get rid of. So many memories were captured with that camera! Nowadays, I often have my small digital camera tucked in some pocket or my purse. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find me out and about without a camera on me. (And just when you thought you did, I would pull out my cell phone, which has TWO cameras!) Inspired by these thoughts earlier today, I decided to start a new series of posts called “Out & About” where I can share these little moments of life here on the Amalfi Coast. Enjoy!

Today it is finally time to say ciao to the Christmas decorations in Amalfi!

The workers have started to repair the damaged port in Amalfi.

Today we encountered an Amalfi Coast roadblock of a different sort.

    I love when we get stopped by sheep on the road. It’s such a vivid reminder of where we are!

    That camera is a great part of you, and it shows in your photo’s! Those sheep were snacking or a bit hungry!
    Grazie!!

    Ciao Valerie! I like seeing the sheep and goats on the road, too. I particularly love the sound of the bells on the sheep all together. They make such a beautiful sound! Hiking up in the mountains here you can often hear the tinkling of a few bells before coming across a couple of sheep grazing on a terrace. Lovely!

    Ciao Chuck! Grazie! Since I was stuck behind the sheep trying to get home for lunch, I am going to go with the sheep were hungry! 🙂

    Such a good idea to have the camera always with you. However on that one day you DON’T have it…is when there is something great to take a picture of…or maybe that is just me 🙂

    Ciao Leanne! I hope you are having a great vacation… love your pictures from the Canary Islands! Yes, some of the best things do seem to happen when I forget my camera. Good thing my cell phone has not one but two cameras! 🙂

A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as I flew out of Naples yesterday morning. A little bit delayed due to Winter Storm Olive in the midwest, but I was greeted in central Nebraska by blue skies and flocks of Sandhill cranes and snow geese. “Oh, to love what is lovely” as Mary Oliver wrote about that joyful experience of seeing snow geese golden in a sunny sky. ✨

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
