Pisolino – Napping in Amalfi

Ciao Amalfi Coast Blog Pisolino

It didn’t matter to this piccione all the hubbub of the jets and ferries busily coming in and out of port, or the tourists laughing, smiling and snapping photos nearby. All this tan and white pigeon cared about was getting in his afternoon pisolino, or nap, in a sunny spot by the sea. I think it had just the right idea. Wishing you all a restful weekend!

    So calm isn't he or she.

    Is it really a pigeon and not a seagull?

    Is it the same as this one I snapped recently in Marta Laura do you think?

    Ciao Saretta! I agree! At least it has let up some this August. It's been quite lovely here, but those couple of weeks in July were rough!

    Ciao Lucia! I do… thanks! I had missed that. That's one of the reason's I love sharing photos with others. 🙂

    Ciao Linda! It was a pigeon, but its unusual colors caught my attention. That's a great shot of the seagull!

    Ciao Eleonora! I was doing some zzzzzing in Amalfi today in the sun. 🙂

    Thanks Laura, it is interesting the unusual colours of both the seagull and the pigeon.

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!
