Venice,an ancient Italian city,
is well-preserved and unique.
Famous landmarks,
like St. Mark's Basilica,
possess more artistic beauty than one imagines.
Canals, bridges, gondolas,
hotels, shops, museums, music, cafes; it's all there to be explored.
Pigeons too!
A whimsical, little lady
in the square
gave tourists a quick lesson on "how to feed the birds".
(much to the dismay of finger shaking locales
who consider the birds a nuisance)
I happen to have some biscuit cookies with me
and could try out what I had watched.
After crunching the sweets in my hands
and then holding them out,
gently and slowly pigeons came for a taste.
The birds didn't peck at all.
Helping another tourist enjoy the moment was more fun!
Simple pleasures remain the best!!
