Another flower, another blue.A blue flower is a central symbol of inspiration. It stands for desire, love, and the metaphysical striving for the infinite and unreachable. It symbolizes hope and the beauty of things.Blue was a favourite colour of the impressionist painters, who used it not just to depict nature but to create moods, feelings and atmospheres. This is my blue flower: a daisy with the color of the sky. . . . Photo © Daniela Serra 2016 – All Rights Reserved

The Piazza dei Miracoli or Piazza of Miracles is a walled 8.87-hectare area located in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy, recognized as an important center of European medieval art and one of the finest architectural complexes in the world. The square is dominated by four great religious edifices: the Pisa Cathedral, the Pisa Baptistry, the Leaning Tower ( the Bell Tower), and the Camposanto Monumentale (Monumental Cemetery) founded in 1277 by Giovanni di Simone.The name “Piazza dei Miracoli” was coined by the Italian writer and poet Gabriele d’Annunzio who, in his novel “Forse che sì forse che no” (1910), described the square as the “prato dei Miracoli,” or “meadow of miracles”.In 1987, the whole square was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. ….. ….. … Photo © Daniela Serra – All Rights Reserved

“A voyage over an emerald sea, past characteristic coves and beaches of snowwhite sand … this is Sardinia, an island that strikes its visitors with natural contrasts, the lights and colors of a region that boasts old traditions and a wild and pure nature.
