Black & White Goodbye to Carnival

Carnival is over,

today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent,

a 40 days period of  physical and spiritual regeneration

ending up at Easter Sunday.

Venetian Fritters and Galani

Goodbye to all sweet and  sumptuous treats 

 we enjoyed in this last holiday season,

welcome to a restrictive and less luxury time,

with a special prayer for Susan.
