Looking for meanings in words, images and sounds
SUNDAY POST: Mother’s Day
Mothers can come disguised as wolves, but as long as they are nurturing it’s all that matters 😉
You may be surprised to hear that I’ve found this symbol of Rome on Paul Painlevé Square in Paris. Please, pay Jake a visit, and see what other bloggers have submitted for the Mother’s Day challenge.

A copy of the “holy” Rome sculpture “Capitoline Wolf” in Paris is not the only one copy – in the southern french city Narbonne there’s one too – and in Buenos Aires, Toronto, Guatemala City, Thunder Bay (Canada) – the federal capital of Brazil Brasília have one too actually donated by the mayor of Rome – and Szarvas in Hungary has one, Tokyo have 2 full sized copies.!! – Benghaz in Libya had one too, don’t know if the civil war has ruined it – and in Italy there’s 4-5 cities with copies too… 🙂
Maybe there are more copies around – I guess so – these mentioned were only them I know… 🙂

😀 I never doubted that you ate cheese .. I only have it when I am partying … as for weird nation mix-ups I don’t understand our air hostesses .. they usually mistake me for German or French, but never do they think I am Croatian!!!
