Out & About: Fishing for Spring

By all accounts this has been a bizarre spring. In fact, with all the rain and gloomy days I think I missed it completely. Just this past week the sun has come out bright and strong and I can feel the warm days of summer just around the corner. In the meantime, I’m enjoying this little bit of spring with its still cool evenings, crazy thunderstorms, sweetly scented air and birdsongs.

Ciao Amalfi Coast Blog Fishing Nets

I snapped this photo of one of the colorful fishing boats in Amalfi earlier this month. The orange fishing nets caught my eye and reminded me that soon the beaches will be filled with brightly colored chairs and umbrellas and these rainy spring days will be far from my thoughts.

    Ciao LindyLouMac! Thanks! I decided it was time for something fresher and brighter for Ciao Amalfi! since summer is just around the corner. There are a few glitches and some rearranging left to do though.

    Yeah, I can't believe it's the end of May and I'm just pulling out the spring shoes, jackets and clothing. But maybe that means we'll have a cooler June like last year instead of the miserable hot one of two years ago!

    Love love love the new header!!!! Are you planning a background color to match? I suggest light taupe or beige, it does wonders as background to photos…

    I missed hitting the Costiera this year, I'm so bummed!

    But I'm planning a Positano foray soon, despite the plummeting finances and moody weather.

    This fishing themed piece made my ehart skip a beat.

    Ciao Eleonora! Thanks for the feedback! I'm not sure about the background color yet, but I'll give those color suggestions a shot. Grazie!

    I hope you can get down here soon! Even with the moody weather like we're having today. 🙂 Drop me a line when you know you'll be in Positano!

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!

This morning—after four days of rainy and cloudy mornings—I watched sunrise over the Cilento coastline across the Gulf of Salerno. Late morning it started raining again and it hasn’t stopped. This little pocket of beauty was exhilarating!
