22.5.13


























































before the memories fade completely
some parma greys .    .     .














.     .       .      and ochres, of course

























































flower-shaped ice cream  
wide, theatrical squares to run free in 
a borrowed dog for company
we were happy to see our friends again
and do very, very little






then we took the train to paris

yes, beautiful
those parma greys
and the joy of ice cream
especially when it's chocolate

the magic of lines and colours... so peaceful too. looking at your beautiful images, i'm longing for Italy, its wondering wanderings and fabulous ice creams.
