The Weekend in Black and White

My (lucky) brother and sister-in-law spend 
quality time in this warm and cozy
"extra" home Out East on Long Island; I like
its nice angles and shadows.

San Miniato al Monte

Up on a hill overlooking Florence
is the beautiful 12th-century basilica
of San Miniato. For me, a visit to Firenze
is not complete without a hike up
here. After spending some time in the church
and in the cemetery, I step through this
doorway to head back down to town.

and also to inSPIREd Sunday.]

The Weekend in Black and White

Knock, knock! Or I should say
"Bussi, bussi!" since this beautiful
old wooden door is in Rome.

Ruby Tuesday

I love what they've done with this stoop!
Whoever lives in this brownstone
knows how to play with color.
