Late afternoon on the wall around Lucca is absolutely gorgeous at this time of year….well any time really, but the colour now is amazing.
The bare trees take on a rust colour.
The trees won’t be bare much longer.
</It is a beautiful time of the year.
There are some posts on Bella Bagni di Lucca about some of the villages that make up Bagni di Lucca. I went on Saturday night to a dinner put on by the hunters of Casabasciana. I love being here!!!!! Click here to go to Bella Bagni di Lucca or go to the link under My Other Blogs on the right of the page.
Lucca is such a wonderful city and, as you rightly say, beautiful at any time of the year. We are very lucky that it only takes a very short and pleasant drive from Bagni (25 minutes from our place). Great photos, Debra!

The leaves are beginning to appear right now. Those trees will form beautiful green tunnels and protect you from the summer sun.

You are going to love Lucca. That’s great that you have got rid of that pesky captcha code, I hate those things. It puts me off leaving a comment.

I love the trees in silhouette with the striped sky…. Unbelievably beautiful. So restful too.

I can not wait for May to get here, so that I’ll be in Lucca!!! Thanks for the temptations by way of pics from the wall. Sometimes, that darn sunset there can be so elusive!

I agree with Nia about the ‘poetic’ pictures with your camera, Debra. Along with your artistic eye and the handling of an excellent camera, you’ve captured those stunning sunset images very well. I feel as if I’m there with you enjoying the changing colours of the trees and the sky. Lovely!

Those trees will all be green in a week or so. The buds are appearing now.

Spring is just around the corner here. Some of the trees have new leaves appearing and soon will be a gorgeous shade of green.

How can anyone not enjoy a walk along that wall … let alone with a sunset!

The wall is 4.2 kilometres around. It is the most delightful walk at any time of the year.

Lovely, lovely, lovely, especially with the changing sky and setting sun. It would be interesting to return weekly and update the leafing of the trees until they’re filled out, lush and green.
A poster of one of these photos belongs in my home office . . .
