The remarkably well preserved Greek temples at #selinunte #sicily. We were so lucky to be here at the peak of wildflower season.

My stylish and adorable friend and travel companion @annlongfineart in a pensive moment after lunch at the Villa Athena, Agrigento, Sicily.

Chic. In Agrigento at the Villa Athena.

A handsome neoclassical building in Ragusa, a Sicilian town otherwise going for baroque.

A wedding in Modica. Squint and you can see the bride and groom at the altar. I will come back with the name of the church. Mi scusi. .

Landing in Sicily!

Easter supper with an improvised centerpiece of succulents and containers of (grocery store) campanulas I had placed around the house last week – headed for the garden this week. The antique wooden cross i plucked from a bookcase. This was an especially happy Easter for us, with family and grands and friends, and the boys old enough to drive the Gators and go fishing by themselves, and shoot (but NOT by themselves) They and grandaddy in heaven. Hope you all had a happy weekend. .
