Last weekend I was sitting down on the beach in Amalfi, and I loved the way the beach umbrellas looked lined up and wrapped tightly for the night. Since I had some time to kill, I entertained myself by experimenting a bit with my camera. I like how this image came out, with the red and white ...
Photo Friday: A Midsummer Night Swim in Amalfi
Last summer, not long after I got my new Nikon point and shoot camera, we went for a night swim in Amalfi. I brought my little tripod along and took a few photos on the beach while others were still swimming. For some reason that I can't recall any longer, I never downloaded any of the photos on ...
A Summer Morning in Atrani
A beautiful Saturday morning and I needed a few photos for an article I was writing on the town of Atrani on the Amalfi Coast. There was only one thing to do ... a photo outing! It was a peaceful morning, and I saw only a few people while I wandered through town taking photos. Head over to Charming ...
Ready for the Beach in Amalfi!
Just before June came to end, I finally made my primo bagno, or the first swim of the season in Amalfi. Better late than never, right? I love swimming in the morning when the water is still calm and the beaches much quieter compared to the afternoon. I arrived in Amalfi early on a Saturday morning, ...
A Saturday in Amalfi
Now that the weather is sunny and warm, daily life in Amalfi is starting to take on its summer feel. The harbor is busy with boats, buses are lined up three rows deep and there are people everywhere enjoying the town. A couple of weeks ago I was in Amalfi on a beautiful Saturday, and I took some ...
A Kayak Lesson in Atrani
A few weeks back I was walking through Atrani on a bright and sunny April day. The water was clear and shimmered in an intense mix of green and blue. I stopped to take a look at the beach, which still hadn't been cleaned up and moved back into place after winter. The scene was thorougly winter, with ...
Wisteria Wonderland in Positano
Last spring Rosa from the Bell'Avventura blog in Positano wrote a post filled with gorgeous photos of the wisteria season in Positano. I was smitten. Wisteria is one of my favorite spring flowers, and I love how the sweet scent fills the air this time of year. I just had to experience the beautiful ...
Lunch at Amalfi’s Bar Gran Caffè
After a long winter on the Amalfi Coast, it's hard to stay inside when the warm weather finally arrives in the spring. This is the time of year when it's warmer outside most days than inside the old stone houses on the coast. When the sun shines in Amalfi, it's an easy choice to stay out and enjoy ...
Sunday Mornings in Amalfi
I love Sunday mornings in Amalfi, especially this time of year when the sun warms the promenades along the sea and it seems like the whole town is out for a passeggiata. There's something special about Sunday mornings that you can feel walking through Amalfi. People are dressed just a little nicer ...
Rough Seas in Amalfi
November 1st arrived this year with maltempo, or bad weather, all across Italy. We woke up the morning of the first to a strong, warm scirocco wind blowing from the southeast. The wind brought with it a sudden spike in temperature and a very rough sea in Amalfi. The waves were crashing on the Marina ...
Photo Friday: With Love from the Amalfi Coast
Earlier this week I shared some photographs I took this summer at the Santa Croce beach in Amalfi, one of my favorite spots on the Amalfi Coast. This picture is from the same day, but is very special to me. I have a knack for finding heart-shaped rocks here on the Amalfi Coast, ...
Tempting Tuesday: A Day at the Santa Croce Beach, Amalfi
This summer it has been a real treat to travel around the world visiting a new beach every Tuesday. We’ve been to both Long Beach Island, New Jersey and the La Maremma beach in Tuscany, Italy with Lisa Fantino. We saw the beautiful Giannella beach in Argentario, Tuscany with Katie ...
