Happy 4th of July

... to my fellow USA quilters.   It is still hot and dry here.   Fireworks are banned except for professional displays.  We're on mild water restrictions until there is some measurable (or any) rain.   All the lawns in our area are the color of straw.   I set out hummingbird feeders and have a little bit of traffic.

Here are the final pics from Venice.    (click on any  photo for a larger image, then click on it again to return to this page.) 


The  gondola ride:

Sadly, Venice is sinking.  It also suffers a lot of floods during the winter season.   One of my travel books says that the few permanent residents have vacated their first floor and live upstairs.


DH and I went to St. Mark's Square on Saturday morning, around 8:15 a.m., so that he could see it without all the day-visitors (those who visit for  several hours via cruise ships, trains, etc.)   Apparently the "upload" feature is being balky, so I'll add it on a separate post.
