There is definitely a feel of the seasons changing this week. The olive harvest is in full swing and the blogs are full of wonderful pictures. Unfortunately, I only have room for one, but do pop over to my blog list and take the time to look around.

I love the idea of counting birds, but what I want to know is how do you avoid counting them twice?



Ciao! Thanks so much for including my post on the beautiful rough seas in Amalfi! Great posts here to read this Sunday morning with my tea. Grazie!
I could just not resist those photos and the idea of watching them as you did. Wonderful!
Thank you for including my post!
Your photos are always so evocative! Your blog is one of my favourite reads.
Thanks for including my post. I feel very honoured. As for avoiding counting birds twice…perhaps it helps if you don’t get into conversation with passing nosy Englishwomen!
I just loved this story! Thanks for sharing it with us.
great selection, thanks for gathering them all in one place.
Deciding on the Top 10 is always such a challenge as there are so much interesting stuff out there! But it is fun too.
