When my sister was here recently to help us with the Olive Harvest we had beautiful weather with glorious blue skies and mild temperatures. Once the harvest was completed and we had free time before our appointment at the Olive Mill, we took some time out to walk from our house into Marta. Of course my camera went with us and today I am sharing with you the photos I took along the way.
Incidentally the new header photo was taken on this November walk. I thought it was about time I updated the look of the blog and the new template, which I hope you like, seems to make changing the banner photo a less demanding exercise, so hopefully I will be able to update it more often.
We have something new on the horizons around the lake, even with my telescopic lens I have been unable to get them very close as they are so far away! Can you spot them in any of these photos, yes I am sure you can? We are going to have to go out hunting and get some closer shots, as apparently this is just the start!
That’s it we arrived, have a lovely weekend everyone.
These photos were all taken on November 16th 2011 and can be viewed in larger sizes in My Flickr album Marta Scenes November 2011

Lovely photos Linda. I spotted what was 'new' to the area (but I'm a local) so I knew what to look for! Have a great weekend Linda :)
ReplyDeleteGreat weather and walking. I envy your place because it continues to rain in my neighborhood. I hope sunny days.
ReplyDeleteOoo, my dear friend Linda
ReplyDeleteYour photos are wonderful and this place, lovely!
The head photography is very nice!
Thanks fos so interesting tour!
Many kisses and a very good weekend!
What a lovely walk you and your sister had, Linda. What a delightful place. That lake certainly is very large, isn't it?! I thought perhaps it was the sea at first. Are you inland where you live? How long does it take you to walk into Marta? Was it the wind turbines that are new by any chance, or have I missed something else?! Thank you for sharing the photos with us today.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, a super new blog, it looks fantastic, think I might have to up-date mine sometime.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your super photos, you live in such a fabulous place .. pleased you had a great time with your sister too. take care Anne
Linda you have such beautiful countryside around you, I hope they are not going to spoil it all with wind turbines. Personally I think they are very unsightly, but that is just me. It seems some people think that they are great!
ReplyDeleteThey make a noise and the flashing lights are not fun for people living nearby.
Love all your photos though and your new header.
Diane
I enjoyed that! Thanks for the tour. Really, a very nice place to live and to walk about. Great photos! I love any place with boats.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice visit with your sister.
Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful weekend!
beautiful photos and great to have your sister there with you, what a lovely spot you have.It look tropical to me!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely spot you live in! Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteThe new blog template is very nice. Enjoyed "strolling" with you on the walk. Sounds like you had a lovely visit with your sister. Glad it went so well. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove the new header! Noticed it straight away! I've thoroughly enjoyed this delightful walk, admiring some gorgeous scenery en route and the beautiful Autumn colours so richly evident. I also spotted the wind generator (turbine) right away and, a little later, two others side by side :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful walk! I just happened into your blog through a button on another blog. What an adventure to have! I'm going to have to travel back in your blog to see if I can find answers to my questions such as; Why Italy? Where in Italy? How did you choose your location? Did you already speak Italian? I'll be looking for your story!
ReplyDeleteRobin
What a beautiful area of Italy you live in! Your photographs really bring it to life and I always look forward to seeing and reading about the next snippet of life in Lazio. Thank you and well done!
ReplyDeleteHello Lindy Lou. I'd have loved to have taken that walk with you. Pity about those wind turbines which I found growing at an alarming pace when we travelled to France recently.
ReplyDeleteLove your new header photo. You had plenty of spectacular ones to choose from. Those boats remind me of the bright ones in the south of Spain. So lovely.
Denise
i agree with the others, that header photo is lovely and so evocative of la dolce vita. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely pics - so serene. Love the header one.
ReplyDeleteThis header is stunning. I always am drawn to little boats in the water. Changing the blog around can be fun or hard work for me depending on my mood.
ReplyDeleteLove the new header. I did notice it before I got to the post. What a beautiful into town. The colors of the foliage and water are just perfect.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking you were talking about the turbines? I am suprised we don't have them here along the coast. They are not very pretty but prettier than oil wells.
Have a great Sunday, Ginger
Superb captures of a wonderful place! I think I would love to live there:o)
ReplyDeleteLove your header too!
Thanks for sharing;o)

Happy Sunday****
I'm not sure how you found my blog --- but I am THRILLED that you stopped by and left a comment.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time to visit your beautiful website, but I will become a regular follower, I assure you! You are absolutely living the dream of my husband and myself. Geoff is second generation American: both parents are Italian and now that our youngest moved out of the house in August, we would love to have the courage to pull up stakes and move to this richly cultural country. Perhaps you will inspire me to believe that this dream really can come true.
nice post! thanks for sharing... God bless you... loves soraya
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely landscape ! Yes I see these "wind mills" we have lots of them here, but electricity prices still increase, lol !
ReplyDeleteAre you celebrating Christmas in the UK ? We will go to Amsterdam to our son.
I love the new header picture as well as all the others along your walk. Did not realize how beautiful Lazio is!
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been lovely lately, isn't it?! Shame the sun shines always on work days...gggrrr!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a good week!

Lindy...the town could be anywhere in Italy, couldn't it? I can savour the atmoshpere. It's lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhy is the sea so blue and so beautiful, in Italy and why did I have to leave?
Oh, well...
BUONA NOTTE!

Hi, lovely photos from your walk. The wind turbines are showing up everywhere it seems. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead.
ReplyDeleteLove your new look!! so nice to take a little virtual vacation to your little corner of the world.

ReplyDeleteI felt as if I were on the walk with you - lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful collection of photos of your corner of the world Lindy. Thanks once again for sharing your great photos. I enjoyed going on the walk with you and your sister.
ReplyDeleteJust look at all those gorgeous blue skies! Glorious.
ReplyDeleteOh, what glorious and lovely blues!
ReplyDeleteI love the vibrant blue of Lake Bolsena contrasted with the oranges and yellows of the trees in fall. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat town and a perfect destination for a walk! Tx for sharing! I love the header shot.
ReplyDeleteNow that is what I call a Happy Walk..Just lovely..It is funny, but I always lived near the water ..and when we were going to live in Vermont..I was very unhappy..didn't realize, it was water I was missing..so we ended up on the coast of Maine..
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you..things have quieted down here for now..next crowd will be around Christmas..Always fun..
Have a good week..xoCarolyn
Thank you for a refreshing walk. I feel like I have walked with you, breathing in the sea breeze.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photos - and such beautiful weather.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to see many of these large wind turbines near Lake Ontario, but they do the trick!
Gorgeous photos!!! You are a stunning photographer!!! Visiting your town is on my List!
ReplyDeleteLike this walk, just a lovely place. And I would like to visit:-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures!!
ReplyDeleteSigh, I felt I was walking with you through that glorious countryside. I am catching up with my blog reading (by the way I love your new header and I noticed it immediately) before I go to bed and your lovely images will be in my head as I fall asleep. X
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely town, Lindy! So nice to be able to walk and explore places like that! So European! Nothing like that around here.
ReplyDeleteIs it your town? Looks so beautiful and peaceful. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteYes this is where we are fortunate enough to be living. Thankyou for calling by and commenting.
