It's the middle of winter.
It's a beautiful sunny morning, but I figure the birds think
that it's too cold for a dip in the estuary...

Sunday Snapshot 5
During my day on the Ligurian coast of Italy, I took another of my "class photos", of which
I'm starting to have quite a collection.
These little guys were having a lovely time in Vernazza, sitting in the sun and enjoying their gelati.
I wish I was back there now!

This Māori warrior stands beside the walkway around the pit rim of the open-cast
goldmine in the small town of Waihi, New Zealand.
I like the calm strength which his sculptor has depicted in his face and limbs.

We are having a long and unusually mild autumn.
I usually set Sunday mornings aside for schoolwork - marking, paperwork, preparing for the coming week. But this morning I could not resist the warm sunshine and clear blue skies, and decided to let the schoolwork wait. I checked the tide table and headed off for the estuary with Manu LeGrand.
Local trainers often bring their racehorses down there for a workout on the damp sand:

And Manu decided to give his coat a new look by rolling luxuriously in what the horses left behind!
We had a lovely morning.

Yes I know how predictable I'm being!
Everyone who goes to St Peter's in Rome takes a photo of the Swiss Guards. Why should I be any different?
They were rather gorgeous.
The Pontifical Swiss Guards are the official army of The Vatican City state. They must be Swiss citizens and Catholics. And male. They were formed in 1506 and their uniform is modelled on the Renaissance style.

Two cherubs in St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. Their mother was taking a
picture of them, in front of the two marble cherubs.

I couldn't resist taking one too...
Just after this, one punched the other on the arm; tears ensued!
