Bella Bagni di Lucca

A beautiful village in Tuscany

Early spring at Ponte a Serraglio

Posted on February 24, 2016 by Debra Kolkka

I arrived from Australia to find my daffodils have appeared on the balcony. I planted a couple of bulbs a few years ago and they have multiplied.

They are such cheery little flowers and have clearly been enjoying the rain.

Soon I will plant pansies on the bridge.

What a jocular welcome waiting for you on your arrival – the daffodils sure are a dazzling sight at Ponte a Serraglio. I love the raindrops clinging on the petals and stems, a tribute to your keen photographic skills. Your balcony is famous for its pretty display of flowers and the pansies on the bridge, too. Enjoy the next few months in Italy. La Dolce Vita!

The wetness, the cloudy day, and the background in the first photo help amplify the flowers.
