While Vacationing in Sicily many summers as we would go, one of the most beautiful sights is the water. Often it is contrasted against mountains, rocks and sky. Several of these were taken under the most unusual circumstances. You see, when we are there we give our tickets and passports to a friend to watch for safe keeping. Well, one year we had packed, and said our goodbys the night before we were to leave. When they gave me back our passports and tickets, i checked them only to find we mixed up the dates and we had an extra day. The next day with all else packed, we drove around and stopped at the beach for our favorite view and some ice cream, and I took several of these. Hope you enjoy them as they are few of my favorites.

Beautiful photos Ellen.  My former mother-in-law's family came from Sicily but I've never been there.

Ellen- I'd say yes... change your screensaver to one of your beautiful photos.  I felt as if I was standing there looking out over the water myself.

Ellen, Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos of a place that I will probably never go.  I don't need to travel when I have friends like you that are willing to share your experience.  Thank you and best wishes always.

Richard, The best part of a Vacation is often the memories and the photos help us to remember! LOL Glad you could come along>

Roger, And perfectly clear and crystal blue! Just like NY beaches, LOL

Roy, I"ll try, I must balance that with all I have to do!

Nick, It's a way of life as you know, different cultures teach us to appreciate life, food, family, and surroundings. How about wine and cheese too?

Ellen, these are beautiful. I hope to see these sights in person one day. The other country I'm longing to see is Ireland. Thanks for sharing them with us - virtual travel by Ellen Caruso. :)
