Travels, wildlife photography, dogs, gardening, and woodworking. Photos are my own except reposts. Italy

Valensole France, lavander town, in July the entire countryside is purple πŸ’œ, now it's just a really relaxing place, our favorite camping with a pool. A decompression zone for a few days . We biked a bit this morning before the heat. Have a great day!

Early morning walk to the upper castle 🏰. Few people around, we will hit 38c (100f) again today, going to be a hot but beautiful day. #Italy #photography. Balcony flowers in the town center are 😍. Wishing you a great Weekend!

A gallon of diesel is now 9.25 USD. WTF πŸ˜’. I just saw 2.14 euro per liter, up 14 cent in 3 days. Just in time for the vacation period where we all drive to our destination. 😑😑

Hot and humid. Those two pink spots (hail) in north east Italy, that's us. Almost every afternoon this week. Thankfully just pea sized hail, violent thunderstorm that lasts 20 minutes, then it's over. πŸ™‚ I'd prefer a gentle rain for a day but these storms also drop the temps by 10c so that's nice πŸ‘.

Chuck Grassley is getting up there in age but he's not alone. The over 71 years crowd is not a small group. I count about 17 republican senators. 🀷

Chuck is pretty old.

Man spent five hours filling his bucket with fish, until he woke up to find every single one gone. On May 20th, a man was fishing off a dock when he started having one of the best days he’d had in weeks. Dock camera showed his Dog was feeding a Dolphin 🐬

You can't help but feel for Cape VerdeπŸ‡¨πŸ‡» Vozinha delivered one of the greatest goalkeeping performances in World Cup history, making eight saves, including a stunning stop from Lionel Messi's free kick, to keep his country dreaming🧀πŸ”₯

Upper castle silhouette. Evening walk with the dog. After 9pm the temps are ok and we meet all the other dogs out for a walk. πŸ™‚ Marostica has a summer festival for 10 days of concerts and we can hear the music at home. John Legend in 2 days. πŸ‘

It's 7pm, the temperature dropped from 39c (102f) to 36c (97f)so my wife turned off the AC and opened the windows because it's fresher now. πŸ€” My dog disagrees.
