Tiglio in autumn

I can’t get enough of the fabulous Tiglio tunnels on the way into Fornoli and Ponte a Serraglio. They look amazing in each season, but autumn is special.

Autumn delights

Autumn is a wonderful time of the year in Bagni di Lucca. This year the weather has been glorious.

One of the best things about autumn is the delicious produce. There are chestnuts, cachi, pomegranates, clementines, pumpkins and porcini mushrooms.

Make the most of these wonderful autumn treats!

Autumn

The start of a lovely day?

This was the view up and down the river early this morning.

It looked as though it would be a gorgeous day, but moments later the mist rolled in and the sun disappeared.

I have just planted the geraniums on the bridge…some sun please!

Tiglio tunnels

I love the way tiglio trees create tunnels along the roads in Bagni di Lucca.

The leaves are appearing on the lovely trees in Fornoli…such a pretty time of year.

The spring equinox is nigh

The last days of winter are upon us. Soon this winter landscape will change in Bagni di Lucca.

Hi 

P

Magnolias have bloomed and the flowers are falling. Soon the trees will be green.

Roll on spring.

 

Seasons

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.

 

Postcard pretty

A couple of posts back I showed you some photos of Montefegatesi. A friend sent me a photo of a postcard of the village covered in snow. I don’t know when it was taken but Montefegatesi looks great with a white blanket.

I don’t think it will be a white Christmas in Montefegatesi this year. Merry Christmas anyway and have a wonderful 2017.

Autumn arrives

Cool weather and misty mornings and golden light have arrived in Bagni di Lucca.

Autumn is a beautiful season. I love the cool mornings and evenings. Soon the leaves will fall.

Neglected magnolia

There is a neglected magnolia in the neglected car park of the neglected Villa Fiori. It still manages to look beautiful.

With a bit of luck a buyer will turn up in April when the building goes on sale.

The last of winter

The weather has been a bit crazy lately. We have had days of rain, howling winds and some lovely sunshine.

Spring will soon be here. I can see a tinge of green appearing on the trees.

The last days of winter are looking good….
