La Foto Del Giorno

21 Thursday Sep 2017

The photo of the day, according to the editors,
Is, per me, an invitation rather to a selfie of wit;
And, for that matter, a test drive of my Italian:

Something something September seems like the same something November. Yesterday, in fact, the webcam of Umbria Weather immortalized [recorded, I suppose] the first [snow, I’m guessing] on Mount Vettore.

About that time, a good laugh over Rebecca’s chocolate
Was shared by all. Then, the by-now familiar daughter
Kindly helped us both out with the daily Italian lesson:

Roughly, More like November than September these days. And
Yes, The first snow indeed was seen on Monte Vettore. Then
She and Rebecca went back and forth, filling in the magic

Of our stay: pensionato, ritorno a Spoleto, il cibo, and
Any other appropriate words that rhyme, say, with vino
To explain our enduring attraction to this tiny Italian town.

The story of a family: a snapshot for another day

Rebecca played no official part in the Italian competition to find the best gelato in the world. But it was, in her words, una buona idea.

And she is proud to say that she knew all along the very finest cone includes a scoop of pistacchio from right here at the Gelateria Crispini in Spoletto.

Yet again, as I learn in Wikipedia, just how little did I know:

Décollage, in art, is the opposite of collage; instead of an image being built up of all or parts of existing images, it is created by cutting, tearing away or otherwise removing, pieces of an original image.[1] The French word “décollage” translates into English literally as “take-off” or “to become unglued” or “to become unstuck”. Examples of Décollage include etrécissements and cut-up technique. A similar technique is the lacerated poster, a poster in which one has been placed over another or others, and the top poster or posters have been ripped, revealing to a greater or lesser degree the poster or posters underneath.

Brightly painted houses, reflected in the channel waters, are everywhere today.


Legend has it that the colors guided the fishermen in even the thickest fog.

These days, in the fog of a different sort, government permit sets the palette.

Round about midnight, I might figure out a way to make this equation work.

Chestnuts
Roundabout
Too close (the chestnut tree) and too far away (the Calder stationary)

Oh yeah, beside them, another in the outdoors painting series.
