"Putto" with dolphin - "Fontana del Nettuno" (detail)
Tash, your little imp is a sight. I love reading all those Italian words with their vowels and sing song sounds, but then again, I like any kind of Italian connection. I recently found this link about a NY Times piece on Edward Weston's photographs of the California coast and thought you might like to see it. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/03/29/travel/20090329-weston.html?th&emc=th
From the Neptune fountain at Malaga Cove Plaza. Here is the link to the photo of the original bronze in Bologna, Italy

It would have been cute, but the dolphin looks kind of mad! I guess I would be too if I were held like that! ;)
I think it's charming. But I see what Hilda's saying, like a kid pulling a dog's tail.
Extraordinary detail indeed!
Perfect blue to contrast to white in this picture!

Beautiful statue in the fountain. It really stands out against the deep blue sky.
Lovely little cherub!
