Alive in Modica

Once again…a few of my photos to share from this incredible trip.  I have slowed down in my photo taking.  I can’t compete with Rick, Gail, Monica, and Karen, who all take great photos!  They have a good eye and their cameras are so much nicer than mine is.  Compared to their cameras, my Leica seems to be a child’s toy.  Hopefully, I will get some of their photos from the yoga sessions and some of the group photos we have been taking to share with my readers.

Below: the town of Modica!  We had a cooking lesson with Chef Ninni Radicini at the cooking school, ate a wonderful lunch, and then went walking in the town of Modica with our fabuloso guide and friend, Giorgio Modica of Modica!

On the way to Modica, I finally got the shot I wanted: fields of wildflowers at their peak of beauty. Red poppies standout against yellow flowers

  1. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photo. I think you have a good eye and I’ve sure enjoyed them.

  3. The photo got cut off. I’m holding an umbrella like Mary Poppins, only in dancer’s pose!

  4. Only a Leica, Fran, isn’t that like a light box camera? it’s miraculous that you get any good photos at all. :))

    p.s. Jayne & I off to the Piedmonte on Monday, it’s not Sicily, so weather could be iffy. but the wine is sure to be good. Ciao!

  5. I love all your pictures and blogs about this trip Fran. Missing you and wish I were there. Hugs to you!!!!

  6. We just arrived in Positano, and the architecture is very similar! OMG, I must find a cannoli!
