I’d like to share some of these unlikely treasures from Florence–shot primarily on the fly with my Google Pixel 2 phone.

Another winner! The door knockers were good but I was fascinated by ‘the girl with the pearl earring and goggles’! Now that was unexpectedly fantastic!
Thank you so much, Sheetal!!! There are quite a few drawings of famous paintings and figures with goggles.
Ah! Hope to see them in person or maybe in your future posts … loving watching Florence through your lens.
Great knob gallery, and I also liked the goggles painting. I had not seen it on her before.
So glad you liked the goggles image! Hope all’s well with you, Ann-Christine.
It is well here, thank you for asking! A bit busy in the garden and everything else – like we all are, I guess. I should not complain!
Coincidentally, we both posted about Florence for the unlikely challenge! I enjoyed your pictures as they brought me back to my wanderings of Firenze side streets.
I will take a look at your post, treytreeful! So glad you stopped by. It’s nice to meet you here. 🙂
I’m always enchanted by doors when I’m visiting a new city. I love your take by focusing on the door knockers — so whimsical!
Isn’t that interesting, Jackie…that we both look at the same thing. Thanks so much for your kind words! I hope all’s well with you. Hope it’s sunny and warm in NYC!
Nicely spied!!!!
Thanks, Sally. I have been doing a lot of “spying” recently!! Hope all’s well with you and that you’re enjoying your garden. 🙂
What finds! I was wanting more fantastic door knockers which would send me into a fantasy land of the doors and the worlds beyond those doors. They must be spectacular if the knockers are any indication.
Hi, Bespoke! I just found another knocker that I will have to put into another post! So glad you like them. Hope all’s well with you. Happy travels!
Woderful gifts. I love the diversity in them. I like the street art a lot.
Hi, Arati! It’s wonderful to hear from you. So glad you like the images. It’s so much fun discovering these treasures in our travels.
