Photo Diary: What is La Dolce Vita?

This is corny as hell but in sitting down to write this month's Dolce Vita Bloggers post, I found myself with writer's block. How could I put the little moments into words to construct what la dolce vita means to me? So instead, I decided to spend the past week snapping photographs with my iPhone and scavenging through old Facebook albums (hence the poor quality in a few!) in hopes that I could capture the elements, rather than build them. 
​

Italian country roads that look like Alberta. 

The smell of fresh baked bread. 

My favorite song on the radio. 

Breakfast in bed. 

A blank canvas. 

Sunsets with you. 

Sand between my toes.

The wind in my hair. 

A cold glass of white and a plate of paccheri ai frutti di mare. 

Cat cuddles. 

A tomato from our backyard garden, still warm from the sun. 

Tuscany at dusk. 

The first page of a new book. 

Dinner in bed in New York City. 

The bubble of espresso in the morning. 

The pop of prosecco, the fizz of full glasses. 

Oysters. Always oysters. 

A ticket home. 

A return ticket home. 

Wide open spaces. 

An old Vespa cruising on even older roads. 

Learning a language that makes you swoon. 

Promises. 

A good Spritz and better company. Salute!
