Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree
Oh, I can still see the flowers blooming 'round her
Where they met on the Isle of Capri

Maybe she is describing the fabulous view to her friend......? It is really beautiful, and the southern light really intensifies the color.

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Gorgeous. I would probably be calling a loved one to try and describe the beauty around me that I would want to share. This is one of those pictures that says a thousand words. The colors and composition are GREAT!!! I've noticed that all of the vegetation looks like it struggles to survive, but survives it does. Perhaps because of the heat? I am also jealous of her tan. tee hee...
7 Sep 2008 6:40pm
@Marion: A great comment, Marion. Thank you. These islands seem dry so I think you are right about the vegetation struggling.
