Barcode staccato

it’s home via Rome.

Cluster of houses

and a fortified town wall

medieval streets.

Esibizione degli sbandieratori del castello

 

Italians do

medieval pageantry

so brilliantly.

Lucky find

 

In Cortona streets

I chance upon some wheatpasres

well, who’d have thought that?

Umbria

 

Rolling wooded hills

peppered with small farmhouses

unparalleled view.

Journey

.

From an early start

and weary miles; cicadas

sing us a welcome.

Time for a break

 

There’s too much to do

what is undone stays undone;

holiday begins.

Dad

 

Now that he is gone

I think more about him than

when he was living.

Long tailed tit

 

fluffy, scruffy ball

in uncertain surroundings;

young bird forages.
