Ciao a tutti! Hi, everybody! Welcome back! This week, I've been perusing the 'net (as usual), and a lovely idea for a post struck me. So this week, I'm sharing with you:

Thirteen Photos I Didn't Take -
But I Wish I Had!

There's magic in those everyday moments, too.

Oof! Ciao a tutti! I had a rough night last night, so I'm a little behind in prepping a post. Since I'm short on time, I thought I'd share a few pics with you, and I sure hope you don't mind.

So now, please allow me to share with you:

Thirteen Random Images

Picture
Pizza for one - Italian style. For a sense of scale, see the fork and knife on the right. :)
Picture
My boy Fabian back when he was a pup. And I've never wanted to be a shoe, until now. Now I want to be a shoe, very, very much.
Picture
Italian singer-songwriter (and my part-time muse) Samuele Bersani - self (?) portrait.
Picture
Makes me giggle every time I see it.
Picture
Ask a cyclist if you don't get this one. Heh.
Picture
The hubby and me on our wedding day. Note the damp cuffs of our jeans - we'd walked through three-foot snowdrifts after a blizzard to get to the city hall for the wedding.
Picture
Katie! SQUEEEEEE!!!
Picture
Cyclist Hayden Roulston gets a post-ride massage. At least, that's what we *hope* is going on in this picture.
Picture
He really is.
Picture
Say what you will about 'em - at least they *look* sharp! (Italian Carabinieri)
Picture
Wouldn't it be awesome?
Picture
This is the story of my life.
Picture
Cyclist Peter Sagan. If chicks dig scars, he's golden, eh?

So there you go - 13 Random Images!











I reckon you'll agree it doesn't get more random than that.




















And if you don't agree, well... I tried.





















And speaking of tries...
















Rugby, anyone?

Thursday Thirteen: 13 Photos I Took Last Night

Well, I hate to say it, but I've been busy, busy, busy - and who hasn't, right? - but last night, the hubby and I took a few hours for ourselves. We had a lovely dinner at a Japanese restaurant, and then we went for a walk in the city center. We hadn't done this at night for a long time, and we brought along the camera and tripod to capture some of the scenes for posterity.

So, please, allow me to present to you

13 Photos I Took Last Night!

And there you go. I hope you enjoyed these.

















It's so rare to see the streets so empty and so quiet. It almost felt like the whole city was made just for the two of us.













It was a frosty night, but it was a delight to go out and walk with my hubby in it.










After we got home, there was a chance to cuddle and warm up together. Naturally, I'll keep my hubby to myself.


















You get to warm up with this lovely gent, okay?

Buone Feste!

13 Photos From the Start of Stage Three of the Giro d'Italia

12/5/2011

10 Comments

 
This week's topic is the result of a lot of mixed emotions for me. I had planned for some time to share photos I'd taken at the start of Stage Three of the Giro d'Italia. Unfortunately, the tragic events prior to the stage's end gave me pause.

In the end, as you can see, I've opted to share the photos after all. After a neutralized stage in Wouter's honor on Tuesday, the race is on in full as of Wednesday. I offer these photos in that same spirit.

So, here we have

13 Photos From the Start of
Stage Three of the Giro d'Italia.

Picture
The trophy for the Giro, along with the jerseys of the various leaders: Pink for the overall leader, Green for the mountains leader, White for the best young rider and Red for the points leader.
Picture
Alessandro Petacchi - points leader after Stage Two.
Picture
Doogie Howser! No, wait, it's Vasili Kiryienka of Team Movistar.
Picture
Brice Feillu, post-sign-in.
Picture
A leap of leopards: Davide Vigano', Oliver Zaugg and Bruno Pires of Leopard Trek. Monday was also Oliver's birthday.
Picture
Alberto Contador, winner of the 2008 Giro.
Picture
Mark Cavendish, overall leader after Stage Two, with his Ombrellina (umbrella girl) to keep him company before the race start.
Picture
Richie Porte.
Picture
The riders chat while waiting at the start line.
Picture
Tyler Farrar.
The final three shots I'd like to share are my photos of Wouter Weylandt. He died after his crash on the descent of the Passo del Bocco, just a few hours after these photos were taken.

There's no eye candy this week, but I hope for a more festive posting next week.

Ciao for now...
