My favorite perch
I took this photo from the corner windowseat in our Venetian apartment on the Grand Canal. I spent a lot of time perched on the cushion there, not really reading […]
A canalside trattoria
I snapped this one of a beautiful canalside trattoria from atop a bridge on a walk to San Marco from our place near the Rialto. Oddly, we came upon it […]
A colorful peek at Burano
Burano, one of the islands of Venice, is known for intricate lacework and colorful houses. Photo disclaimer: More Diane, Mama’s childhood friend who accompanied us on our special trip, took […]
A window onto Venice
I spotted this lovely window onto Venice along the Misericordia. It was during a walk on my first visit to Venice’s Jewish Ghetto. It was very, very hot this day […]

Finding G-d Again
I’ll be honest. It can be hard to see G-d at the hospital. Particularly in the Oncology Department (aka cancer), and especially when you’re dealing with an incredibly RARE brain cancer. But watching the sun rise over the Grand Canal on Yom Kippur morning after a mostly sleepless night spent […]
