On a blistering cold winter day in Italy, this carved marble angel caught my eye and seemed to say:

In every corner there is hope!

I am hoping for cooler weather soon, or I am going to take up residence in the freezer next to the popsicles!

    I love your eye for details, and the way you spin stories around them. And I love Italy 🙂
    If you need cooler weather you are welcome up to Trondheim in Norway. The St.Olav Festival starts today, I can watch the busy last minute preparations through my office window, and the weather is perfect for the festival. And for garden life 🙂

    Such a lovely observation and message, never give up hope because without hope all is lost. The weather has been very humid here, I need to bury myself in ice-cream 🙂

  5. Is that from the era when they didn’t know what shape a woman’s breasts were? Or is it colder than I thought?

    what a beautiful frieze! the cool weather is back here on the sf bay… come visit me! 🙂

  11. Yes! I’m also ready to move into the freezer with the popcicles. Or Norway or Western Australia. Mmmmm. Popcicles. Oh! That ice cream sounds nice, too.

    i like the way you linked the message with the beautiful angel. Will always remeber it 🙂

  13. Hehe…I feel for you. Last weekend, here in the Seattle area, it was 90-97. Not devastating heat, but for those of us used to Washingtons cooler temperatures, it was pretty darned uncomfortable.

    Hee hee! Is there a margarita mix next to the popsicles?

    I like the way you put the words blistering and cold together. Unexpected.

    I sympathize…today in Charleston, when you walk out of the air conditioning, it feels like you are stepping into, and forced to breath, a very hot bathtub.
    I hear the California heat wave is supposed to subside today or tomorrow!!

  17. We’re HOT here too in the central north…I have to say tho* I am totally enjoying it:O)…stay coool ms C!

  18. I think the angel should do regular sit ups instead of just hoping…

    I love this photo and the thought about hope being in every corner. Lovely.

  20. Aww, I love it. What a wonderful, beautiful thought! You are so lovely. I can’t wait to meet up! Email me! Are you around this weekend?
    🙂

  21. If you move in with the popsicles, save me a blue raspberry one.

    Thinking of you Corey and hoping you cool down soon. It’s been quite the summer hasn’t it?

  23. mary jane

    Ca weather will cool down this week. I wish the same for France.

  24. madeleine

    hope hides in the darkest of spots, and surprise us when we’re least expecting it.
    beautiful photo…..:)

    Corey, I really enjoy reading your blog and your eye for beauty with a camera. Love the gorgeous angel! It’s 100 degrees F by the beach here in NJ, USA. I am staying in my house with AC on. Munching on icepops as needed.
