Oh what a beautiful morning!
There's plenty of snow still, up on Ischia's Mount Epomeo,
but down here at sea level the day has started most pleasantly...
The Hotel Miramare e Castello, all shut up for winter
- as shot, only resized and sharpened slightly

Even the sea's calm....
.... after several recent days with no hydrofoils

A week later, and still frost and snow up in the hills...
Mount Epomeo, on Monday morning
10-FEB-2012
If not one thing....
...it's another! Afternoon downpour in Ischia Ponte

A few days late....
... but the snow forecast for the higher parts of the island has arrived!
06-FEB-2012
All puffed up...
.. and not looking its usual elegant self, a small hawk
that's taken to using a nearby window ledge to keep
watch for prey - on a very chilly day!
01-FEB-2012
Not quite the snow they forecast....
But a surprising amount of hail - blown into the joins between
these roof tiles by the strong wind that accompanied them

January morning
Happy birthday, old fella'

Damp underfoot!
A strong wind, from the 'wrong' direction, and the sea is
filling the streets of Ischia Ponte...

Welcoming a New Year...
The now-traditional swim on the 'Mandra' beach, here at Ischia Ponte
