It seems to me that blogging is about as useful a way of passing the time as tossing pebbles into the sea, so for what it's worth - and that's not a lot - here are a few pebbles.

The Baptistry door
Standing right in front of the cathedral is the baptistry with its magnificent doors. First a shot of the entire doors, then a couple of the panels in close up.
Aren't they stunning? Click on the pictures to see them in greater detail.
I love these doors. Several years ago we took my parents on a surprise visit to Florence. I did not know at the time I planned the trip that it was one of my mother's greatest dreams to go to Italy and to Florence. And at the top of her wish list was to stand in front of those doors -- and I have a treasured photograph of her doing just that!
