Autumn in the park

Parco Contessa Casalini in La Villa is looking beautiful in the soft autumn light.

It was badly damaged in a recent storm, but is recovering nicely.

The park in La Villa

The lovely park in La Villa was devastated earlier this year when a tornado ripped through it, tearing up several of the old trees. Some were hundreds of years old.

The mess has been cleaned up, but it looks a bit bare.

I have heard there have been fund raising efforts to collect money to help rehabilitate the park. I look forward to seeing the results. It will be great to see some new trees planted.
