Some Italy Photos

I started posting my first photos of Italy. Most of them are from Venice or Rome. You can see them all in my flickr album. I'm going to be adding more gradually.
On my gondola ride in Venice:




Florence:



Rome:


The Vatican:



I'm also making a scrapbook using a journal I made that I was originally going to sell, but it has some flowers. It uses this really pretty red flower paper that reminds me of Italy and this:

I have to edit some and I also just scanned a bunch today (I didn't get them all developed digitally because I wanted to save some money so some I'm scanning myself). It's been a lot of work to go through all my photos, but a lot of fun and makes me miss Italy. I still have two Italy papers for my class that are due tomorrow. It's basically travel writing pieces about experiences in Italy, which is fun, but it's a little harder than I thought and I'm having trouble getting them long enough. Like I mentioned before, I think when I get all my photos scanned, I'll write a little blog about the whole trip.
I was thinking it might be fun to sell some of my prints sometime in the future, but right now I'm just doing photography for myself. I started making a mini journal with some really pretty blue, marbled paper I got from Italy. I just have to stitch it together. I was going to use coptic stitch which I always have to practice a little because I always forget exactly how to do it. Once I get my board, I'll start working on new, bigger journals. :)

You brought back such wonderful memories! I've visited all of the beautiful cities shown here, as well. Your first picture of the Vatican in particular is just stunning.

Looks like you had an amazing trip!
