Newborn Lamb Transport in Italy

Donkey nannies in Italy.

Each year in Italy, grazing animals are moved from high pastures down to the plains. Newborn lambs are unable to make this journey on their own. Instead, they ride in the pouches of a specially made saddle on the back of a donkey or a mule nanny. They are taken down at rest stops and returned to their mothers for a bite to eat and a bit of nuzzling.

Laundry Day in Rome

I love this shot of laundry hanging outside against the ivy in Rome, Italy. There is nothing like the smell of clothes that were dried outside in the sunshine. Having greenery behind is a super bonus! via

Venice

It's cool, wet, and foggy this morning so I though I'd transport myself to Venice. I've never been there and I can't even imagine stepping outside my front door and getting into my boat, can you? I hope I don't get my camera wet.
