Italy by Pictures: Part 3 of 3 Panoramas

A much belated series, but hardly forgotten. These photographs
represent just a few of the panoramic scenes that Chloe and I saw on
our trip.

Much loved were these beautiful vistas we saw ALL around Italy. Chloe
learned how to photograph them even better than I did. (thank you
Canon G10).

It's hard to pick a favorite, but I think I love the Deli in Milan and
Florence from above.

enjoy.

Our annual Christmas Parade...

I love living in a small town... and you can tell how cool it is when
it's time for the Christmas Parade. Chloe had 3 choices of floats to
ride based on her activities. She decided to be in the Awana float
again this year... We sat on the side of the street and watched the
parade in the sun... it was cool. The town & community really come
together.
