"Human communication, 'as the saying goes, is a clash of symbols' it covers a multitude of signs. But it is more than media and messages, information and persuasion; it also meets a deeper need and serves a higher purpose. Whether clear or garbled, tumultous or silent, deliberate or fatally inadvertent, communication is the ground of meeting and the foundation of community. It is, in short, the essential human connection."
What a great gallery! Love it! I’m still waiting to get to Venice – this just makes me want to get there even more!
Looking at the photos reminded me of how special Venice is. It really is a once-in-a-lifetime destination. It’s a trek getting there from here…Seattle. Don’t know if I’ll make it back again.
never say never…i guess.
Thanks for the smiley face. Will have to include that one in my archive of them.
hugs…
I have some photos like that! The gondolas move slowly, but time passes fleetingly
When did you visit Venice? A magical place…vibrant colors, smelling of history, tasting…Italian! Bellissima!
We went about 5 years ago (it may have been longer, it’s too early to put my memory in,
. and it was as you say. I loved it. Keep promising to go back, but not managed it yet.
One day …….
I would love to return with our daughter. She couldn’t afford the trip herself. Paris, first though. Someday…
Yes, I’d like to treat our daughter too….. Someday, as you say.
BTW…how many children have you? And grandchildren? Bet they bring you great joy…
Daughter with 1 boy, 1 girl + 2 step daughters
Son with 1 boy, 1 girl
Daughters are older, son’s still little. Best of both worlds!
I’m sure you’re a wonderful mum and a totally loving grandmum…lucky them…lucky you.
Your time will come…..
You promise? Not even a boyfriend in sight.
I can wait though. She’s having fun in her dance career. Better she fulfill her own dreams first. I have my grandkitty for now.
Excellent photos. How was the gondola ride? I’d love to go to Venice some day.
