Sicily, Easter 2010 - sun and sea!



Sicily in the spring is beautiful... we took a quick drive to Faro with Carlo's father as it was such a wonderful day. Very windy, but fresh and sunny....


We stopped to pick up some oranges on the way. A very abundant fruit at this time of the year!


Fishing boats by the beach...I just love these colorful wooden vessels!



Carlo in his element...



A few years ago they started constructing these anti-erosion fences in order to keep the sand from blowing away. So far so good. the square of bamboo sheltered many native grasses and wildflowers.



The coast of Calabria, mainland Italy


Father and son...two men who love the sea.






The sea and the sky were competing for the deepest blue!




Scirocco winds from Africa flatten the water and make for great swimming-in the summer. :)
