#AlphabetChallenge #WeekFforFilms #Fellini #Rome This is Venusia at Cinecitta' used in Fellini's 1976 film Casanova. 🎬😍
Happy #InternationalCatDay #Caturday with some best of Feronia and Rufus 😻❤️😻❤️ lounging in summer 🌴⛱️🔥 and all other seasons
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekEforEphemeral Capparis Spinosa grows all over the ancient walls of Rome with flowers that bloom in summer and die in a day or two. Yes that's where capers come from!
Another scorching heat wave after another means this #Caturday only paws touching 😻🔥🥵
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekDforDark Chopin Nocturne concert with 13-year-old pianist Martina Meola in the Basilica di Massenzio adjacent to the Roman forum. Magical!! 😍🎼👏🌟⭐️
A slightly less scalding #Caturday and rain maybe in the forecast tomorrow. Cats like my new kantha quilt! 🐈⬛😻
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekCforCurves In this ridiculous heat wave in Rome I can't stop dreaming about this curvy pool in the hills of the Castelli Romani south of Tivoli surrounded by rosemary bushes and cypress trees. With a sunset view of the city!
Help! We are melting in 100F heat! #Caturday emergency! Send rain! 💦💦🥵😻😻
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekBforBehind My sister is a very talented seamstress (hobby) and makes a no tie apron that just slips on. 👏👏🍓🍓😍🤩
#Caturday Back home after a week in the hills SE of Rome where I befriended kitten Olivio and spotted a calico. Rufus and Feronia are hot but glad to have me back.
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekAforAbandoned Feronia and Rufus were abandoned in a box on a table in the lobby of my friend's apartment building, likely barely a week old. She saved them, I adopted them 2 months later. They are inseparable. WHODOESTHIS?! 😱
This #caturday I am so glad to be back home. When not on my bed, Rufus and Feronia are on the glass coffee table in this heat.
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekZforZany Just outside the Italian town of Capalbio is the Tarot Garden of Niki de St. Phalle. This Saturday was my 4th visit. It never ceases to be astounding!

Happy #Caturday from Venice where a few cats have turned up to say ciaomeow
Currently stealing hearts at the Venice Biennale these three seagull babies enjoying the pool at the Venice pavilion ❤️❤️❤️
I know it's #caturday but I FINALLY saw Mimmo, the dolphin living in the Venice lagoon for almost a year now! 🐬😍💦
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekWforWater #Venice water everywhere, even in the Polish pavilion of the Biennale (my favorite) 💦💦
Have to share a taste of the Holy See pavilion at the Venice #Biennale where a curated soundtrack accompanies you in a monastery garden walk. So restorative and peaceful!
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekVforVocal Hey did you know I sing with a swing orchestra based in Milan and we have an album coming out in a couple of months? It's called www.movietunes.it
Happy #Caturday from Venice where this orange cat greeted me with a leg rub. So far Rufus has stayed out of trouble back home. Feronia also is quite content to share a corner of the bed with my cat sitter.
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUniforms My nephew getting his PhD in Matrials Science and Engineering at UMD this week got hooded by his advisor at the ceremony ❤️👏🎓
An art deco inspired #Caturday from an exhibit in Florence at Palazzo Medici Riccardi (with little geckos) 🦎🐈⬛
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekTforTime A 17th century wood carved clock in the church of S. Maria Gloriosa dei Frari in #Venice ❤️🇮🇹🕰️
#WeekSforSongs #AlphabetChallenge Creatura Naturale on Tosca's new album Feminae. It drops on the 22nd but I luckily got it at Rome's launch event on vinyl 👏🎼🇮🇹💿
For #Caturday a throwback from 2 years ago when Rufus was trying to be a blanket for Feronia. Hard to believe they turn 3 in August! 😻😻
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekRforReflections #Venice #Venezia The crypt in San Zaccaria has a thin veil of laguna water and an extra special mystical quality 💦🇮🇹
