July Banner: Celebrating Bougainvillea on the Amalfi Coast

 

Ciao Amalfi Banner July 2009 full

 

One of my favorite plants on the Amalfi Coast is the lush and brightly colored bougainvillea that seems to grown in every nook and cranny, over terraces and around doors. I’ve even spied it climbing up the railings on staircases. It is flowering and lovely this time of year, making it the perfect banner image for July. For all of the Positano fans out there, the photo above shows a glimpse of the vertical city in the distance. Here are a few more pictures I have taken in the past couple of weeks:

    Ciao Marybeth! That is the perfect way to put it… the beauty makes me insane. I quite agree! 🙂

    Ciao Lola! So happy to bring back nice memories of the Amalfi Coast for you. Hope to see you here someday soon! Baci per te in America!

    Ciao Lisa! Remember the jasmine in Ravello? The flowers are waiting for you! 🙂

    Ciao Annika! Oh, yes, the oleander is beautiful! Just outside my house there is a piazza full of pink oleander. Beautiful!

    Ciao Anne! Happy to hear you like the July banner. It is so fun to pick out a new image each month. I am still scheming for agosto! 😉

    Ciao Mom! I framed it with that house just in the middle for you! You know how I love to make you smile. 🙂 A terrace with bougainvillea has to be in there somewhere, right??

    Ciao Chuck! I love the colors, too. You can see the brightly colored bougainvillea from the sea!

But The Travelers by @brunocesarcatalano in Amalfi has been extended to November 5, 2023. I wasn’t ready for them to travel on yet!
This morning I said my goodbyes to Bruno Catalano’s “Travelers” on my morning walk. Tomorrow I’m off to be a traveler myself and they’ll likely be gone by the time I’m back. They’ve been good company, but it’s time for them to move on to their next destination. 🧳
