This week I've got a photo list for you. These are 13 of the photos I took during my trip to Florence last week. I've selected them to show a diverse slice of Florentine life. I don't know how many people will actually see them with it being Thanksgiving, but I wanted to share my visual impressions of this magnificent city now while they're still fresh in my mind. It was so hard to choose just 13... If you'd like to read more about our trip just click on the "Florence" tag down at the bottom of this post. I'll be writing more about it and sharing more photos over the coming weeks, so check back often.

Happy TT, and happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating today. (Since Thanksgiving is a regular work day here in Israel we'll be celebrating on Saturday with a whole host of good friends and a turkey dinner complete with all the trimmings.)

Your pictures are beautiful ! I have such a nice souvenir of "Firenze" ! Mr. Gattino being Italian, you can imagine that I know Italy, lol !
ReplyDeleteFor some reason my computer won't let me see them. :( But I bet they're beautiful! I would love to visit Italy...someday, someday. :)
ReplyDeleteMy TT is up too...here.
Too bad I can't view your pics!! Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeletewonderful pictures! I am very jealous.
ReplyDeleteI can't view them ... I don't have the required plugin.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT and Happy Thanksgiving!
I have a whole buttload of TTs this week:

those photos are stunning happy thanksgiving for Saturday
ReplyDeleteThose are amazing photos! The markets look so wonderful. The colors!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, lovely. I really enjoyed those. They are of gorgeous quality and there's so much in some of them (for example, in one photo I could see the statues in the archways of a tower high above the ground). What a wonderful T13...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. It's been over 30 years since I was last in Florence. Maybe it's time to go again!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my TT!
Those photos are gorgeous; The last one really caught me. Florence hasn't changed.
ReplyDeleteI can't see the pictures either. Pity, 'cause I'd love to!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! Thanks for visiting my random TT.
Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI love Florence! every corner, every piece of architecture and the wonderful sound of the church bells...
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, I remember reading something about the locks, don't couples do that and throw the key in the river??
Happy TT and happy Thanksgiving celebration on Saturday!
Beautiful pics.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that so many of you can't see the pictures. I wonder why that is.
ReplyDeleteMar - yes, that's the story with the locks. Hokey, but very romantic.
I haven't been to Florence for about 15 years, but your photos took me right back there. Thank you so much for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
Looks like the chancy Italian fall weather cooperated with you guys. Glad you had such a great trip. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous I don't think I want to look at the pictures. LOL No, really what a fantastic trip.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list of pics! Wish I'd been there. Beautiful architecture!
ReplyDeleteHappy TT and Happy Turkey day!
:-)
Those are incredible, Robin!! SO no fair I couldn't go with you -- maybe one day when the kids are older, our families will meet somewhere for a vacation. That would be way fun!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are just beautiful. I have never been to Europe, and I get goose bumps when I see pictures of what I have missed, so far.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Thanksgiving Saturday, and be thankful everyday =)
Oh how I'd love to go there! BEAUTIFUL!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Robin, just beautiful. I can imagine going back in time when I see those pictures of the beautiful buildings. Adding Florence to my list of dream places to go. Can't wait to see more!!
ReplyDeleteI went to Florence many years ago...One of the best trips of my life! Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteglorious photos! hoping you and yours have a wonderful thanksgiving full of blessings and good food!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics:) Happy TT and thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteAwwww..Robin, it says No Photos Found! Wonder why I can't see them!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they are gorgeous.
Wanted to wish you Happy Thanksgiving, and have a wonderful weekend!
It's been a while since we've been in Florence--but some of it still looks pretty familiar--the market, especially. Thanks for the memories!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous. I'll check back to read the details of your trip. The hubs and I would like to go there someday.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my TT, too.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Gorgeous. You lucky duck. One day I'll get there. HAPPY TT!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. I'm so thrilled you chose to share.
ReplyDeleteI'll check back regularly to see more. :)
Happy Thursday :)

Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds have been thinking alike today! These are wonderful. I don't know why I was so enchanted by all the brass locks, but I was. Perhaps, it had to do with the colors and the composition and the fact that each one represented an unknown person.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the inability of some of your visitors to view the slide show you posted today, it may be because it is a flash player. I have started using the Pictobrowser because it loads much better and lets the viewer choose the speed of the images. Here's a link so you can try it next time!
Happy TT and Happy Thanksgiving! Have a great celebration on Saturday. Oh, and thank you for visiting and commenting at my site today.
Incredible photos! What kind of camera do you have? I am no photographer, but I do enjoy great photos. These are amazing! Thanks for sharing, if you want, come read my boring TT:

Someday I'd like to travel... I can't see the pictures but in my imagination they look perfect.
ReplyDeleteThose are great photos, and they brought back some nice memories. We visited Florence a few years ago for a couple of days. Thanks! Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up Harlekwin, I'll give that one a try next time.
ReplyDeleteMocha Mom - it's just a Canon PowerShot A540, nothing fancy. In fact, indoors it takes lousy pictures but it does usually come through outdoors. I'd love to upgrade someday though...
Well I didn't expect that from a Canon, I know my gf has one and it takes great outdoor photos too. Maybe my next TT I will post some of my favorite photos that I have taken. Thanks for answering my question, it is always nice to know what others use to get their good photos.
ReplyDeleteYou are truly talented - those photos are beautiful. I must go to Florence now.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving this Saturday, and thanks for a great post.
Robin these are gorgeous! They could be post cards! You have an amazing camera or amazing skill or both!
ReplyDeleteNeither - I just limited it to 13 pictures out of 142 LOL. Anyone can be good with odds like that.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful pictures Robin... Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Makes me nostalgic.
ReplyDeletewho was that handsome man washing his hands in the fountain?
ReplyDeleteCute teensy yellow car!
WOW! Love the locks picture :-)
Some street vendor, no one I know. You'll have to go there and track him down for yourself ;-).
ReplyDeleteYour pictures bring back so many memories! I hope we can back in a couple of years. Thanks for sharing. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends Saturday.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing these but I did not stop to comment (sorry). I recognize almost all the same photos as from our trip, but as it was in April and the weather gods were not happy, most of our pics are gray and washed out! Looks like you had a great trip! I am so pleased. But tell me, did it stink? When we were there that was the first thing we noticed. It was not pleasant, even though the sights were beautiful! Funny what kinds of things influence the memories you have of a place!!
