Just before I left Bagni di Lucca in November I went with friends into the glorious mountains above Montefegatesi. It was a beautiful autumn day.
We came upon a shepherd with his well kept goats. I love to see the old traditions carried on…long may it continue.
When I return tomorrow the landscape will be quite different. I look forward to another visit to the mountains.
Bella Bagni di Lucca 
Such a different Italy than us tourists normally see!Safe travels…
First visits to Italy need to be to the iconic places, but after that it is wonderful to venture further afield and see the more remote spots.
And it will always be beautiful throughout the seasons…
Each season has its charm.
Beautiful! I love that there are still shepherds.
Me too.
Very beautiful!!!
The mountains are gorgeous.
Me too back very soon ! 🙂
We must catch up.
Lovely photos Debra! My favourite season; if those ruins could talk what a story they may have.
There are many abandoned houses in the area. I wonder what became of the people who lived there.
Such a lovely scene and I love it when the sun shines but the air is crisp with Autumn.
