Da Natale a Santo Stefano / From Christmas to Saint Stephen's Day

The rain fell so hard on Christmas Day

And it seemed that a second Flood

Would have wiped the Town away

But finally - and how unexpected! -

Saint Stephen gave Us instead

A Radiant, Bright and Smiling Sun

In a Shiny, Happy Vivid Blue Sky

About the meaning of the Italian expression "durare da Natale a Santo Stefano", I suggest a good article on the website Italian Enthusiast.

Poem above and photographs below by me, on Saint Stephen's Day.

Pictures of a very quiet place.

I love my natural auburn hair, and how it shines in a sunny day. I will never understand why people want to change their natural hair colour for a fake one.

Nothing is more beautiful than Nature.
