Nobody does #grass like the British Isles. I believe it is frequent rain that accounts for such intense green, not that rain was in the picture on that lovely sunny day. This is the village of Bibury in the Cotswolds. #dailypicturetheme @dailypicturetheme

Vast expanse of green lawn with large and small stone cottages and trees in the distance.

I found this ornate and lovely #frame in the Wadsworth Atheneum a few months ago. I went down a bit of a rabbit hole researching so I’d explain it correctly. The painting is the “Madonna of the Chair” a 19th century reproduction “after Rafael” #dailypicturetheme @dailypicturetheme

Small round painting depicting Mary embracing the Christ child while sitting in a chair as the young John the Baptist devoutly watches. It is in an elaborate and ornate gold frame.

Our street is lined with these lovely cherry trees. It’s a matter of time, though, before the petals are blown off and #drift down to cover everything with soft, pink snow. #dailypicturetheme @dailypicturetheme

When I was 5, I was in my cousin Beverly’s wedding and she gave me a child sized #pearl necklace. Many years later, my mother lengthened it with a bit of gold chain. #dailypicturetheme @dailypicturetheme

I remember the #storm of 1978 very well. We had a newborn baby and a limited supply of formula. Governor Ella Grasso declared a state of emergency and shut the state of Connecticut down. 24 inches of snow fell with drifts up to 12 feet. #dailypicturetheme @dailypicturetheme

This is a photo of my mother. Judging from her age in the pictur, I would date this to 1928, which is undeniably a very #long time ago. #dailypicturetheme @dailypicturetheme

An old picture of a little girl. She has a round face which was the bane of her existence. She is wearing a ruffled dress, white stockings, dark lace up shoes and a ruffled bonnet. She is standing on a wooden chair. The paper is cracked and marked through age. A photographer mark at the bottom says ORBI

This koi pond is outside the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory at Belle Isle in Detroit. It was closed when we were there in 2019, so we enjoyed the grounds instead. Both the conservatory and the aquarium had #free admission. #dailypicturetheme dailypicturethem

A large greenhouse is in the background of the photo. In the foreground is a rock-rimmed koi pond. There is a decoration in the middle of the pond that looks like a stone temple.

Ruth Sears Bacon was painted by John Singer Sargent in 1887 when she was three years old. Nobody could #sit quite like little Ruth. Photo taken in the Wadsworth Athenaeum. #dailypicturetheme @DailyPictureTheme

Painting in a gold frame shows a little blonde girl in a frilly white dress, black stockings and brown boots. She is sitting in a large white easy chair and has a doll next to her.

I took this in a pharmacy in Rome. Maybe one of those jars contains eye of newt or blind-worm’s sting—my Italian is not good enough to tell. Mix things together to create a love #spell . After all, what other spell would you cast in Rome? #dailypicturetheme @dailypicturetheme

I like the way the #pale pinks, greens and blues of the buildings contrast with the dark wood and iron of the balconies in this street scene in San Juan, Puerto Rico. #dailypicturetheme @dailypicturetheme

A row of pastel colored buildings on a street in San Juan. Right most is a blue building, then pink, green,pink, red and green. Buildings have interesting dark colored balconies, and white wood trim.

Those are some fancy schmancy drapes hanging around Marie Antoinette’s bed in Versailles. #drape #dailypicturetheme @dailypicturetheme

Marie Antoinette’s bed room is all in pink, cream, green and a heavy slathering of gold. An embroidered floral piece hangs at the back, with heavy drapes on either side of the bed. A gold railing similar to what you would see in old fashioned Roman Catholic Churches is at the foot of the bed.

I think this pressed glass dish is old--maybe from the early 1900s. The inside of the bowl is perfectly smooth. The pattern is from the underside where the molten glass pushed up against the #press . #dailypicturetheme @dailypicturetheme

Small glass dish on a side table. It has a four shell shapes on the bowl, with a center star shape at the base. An arrow pattern runs along the edge.

Before my hip surgery, I was in a lot of #pain . This borrowed snazzy green walker got me back in motion. Note the green cloth bag for carrying necessities. If I ever need one for good, I want a bicycle bell and a basket. #dailypicturetheme @dailypicturetheme

A green walker with wheels on the front legs and yellow tennis balls on the back ones. Behind it is a television on a stand.

This unusual set of steps is located in “o Parrucchiano” restaurant in Sorrento, Italy. As I recall, the food was great and the limoncello was basically rocket fuel. But the star was the amazing rustic themed interior with its religious memorabilia. #step #dailypicturetheme @dailypicturetheme

Stone wall in restaurant has a small alcove with a statue, a beautiful gold encrusted religious painting. A set of stairs goes to an upper floor, with a railing made of bark covered tree branches. At the top of the wall are blue and white geometric tiles under a series of arches and a ledge holding crockery. Above all is a glass roof area.

The first time we travelled internationally was 2016 when we went to Italy. Travel is expensive, and we saved for years to be able to do his trip. It was life changing and #worth every penny. #dailypicturetheme @dailypicturetheme

I spend far too much energy trying to manage the ripeness of bananas it’s a never ending battle. On the plus side, if they get too ripe—banana muffins! #ripe #dailypicturetheme @dailypicturetheme

Two bunches of bananas on a butcher block counter: one bunch is almost too ripe, the other bunch is quite green.

My favorite use for #stale bread is to add it to ribollita soup made with Italian sausage, cannelini beans, carrots, celery, onions, and a LOT of garlic. Picture is from the internet. I don’t have a photo of mine--this one was the closest. #dailypicturetheme @dailypicturetheme

Bowl of thick Italian bean and sausage soup. Bowl is white with a light blue rim.
