Venice, December 2010.
We were having breakfast in Cafe Florian in Piazza San Marco, when she suddenly stood up on her chair and started singing twinkle twinkle little star to a room full of people dressed in furs and pearls. When the song ended, the whole place broke into loud applause.

You can also find this on Black and White Wednesday, a lovely photo event on Susan’s wonderful blog, The Well-Seasoned Cook.

guilty as charged, anita 🙂
thanks for leaving such a lovely comment, simona 🙂
thanks for stopping by, bron. it's lovely to have people to share these bits with!
I just stumbled into your space through Sneha's. After spending a few minutes scanning your posts and reading a bit about you, I knew I wanted to come back, so I joined your fans club 🙂 Hey Pia, I love your carefree writing and style. And yes gumption. Gumption, gumption, gumption–there I said it! 🙂
Without people in the cafe, you get to see the lovely furniture! Gorgeous photo, great composition and black and white tones.
@Plateful – if i've passed 'gumption' on to one more person, i've done my bit for the day 🙂 thanks so much for such a lovely comment! hope to see you back here soon!
thanks lynne! the furniture really was something. gorgeously over-the-top, like most things in venice 🙂

@mama's world: thank you 🙂
Fantastic POV. You must have been crouched for the click. Love it…and I think a “Little Star is Born.” ; )
Thanks, Pia, for your very fine BWW photo with charming anecdote.
Can't tell you how much I love this image!
Thank you, susan. And yes, I do tend to crouch or sit down a lot when I take photographs 🙂
Anh, I'm glad. Thank you 🙂
Pia, I am from Venice and I know the Cafe' well. I can imagine the scene, the room and the effect on the people. Lovely photo. I was back visiting Venice the Christmas before. Love my city!
hi laura! how lovely to have a venetian in our midst 🙂 during our stay, i remember many conversations with people who've lived their lives in venice – it would always make me smile, the utter love they had for their city, followed by an exasperated roll of their eyes when they talked about water above their knees 🙂
