Summer is almost over. There has been little rain and the river is low.
Our local heron has shallow water in which to search for fish.
Crows are trying to catch fish too.
Signore Talenti is looking after his duck.
Rain is expected today and the river will change. We need some rain, so I hope it comes.
Wow, what a stunning location!

It’s pouring here, so I suspect it is coming. Lovely reflections in that low water.

The rain has arrived with a vengeance. We need it, so there will be no complaining.

It’s dry here too and warming up. The photos of Signore Talenti and his duck are very lovely.

Hope you get this rain we are having in Paris for a few days. When we cruised the Danube the water levels were so slow some of the cruise boats could go to Bucharest. We were fortunate that River Duchess got through. The captain kept speaking of water levels. Sorry your river is low. Talk soon x

We have rain and it is good. I think it will last at least a day or two.

As I view your lovely, thoughtful photos a melancholy track is playing from Downton Abbey; seems most fitting for the culmination of summer and Signore Talenti’s affection for his duck.

Interestingly, the low water level caught my eye … and then you mentioned the forecast of possible rain. Cheers to the area’s beauty.

Heavy rain has come. My garden at Casa Debbio will enjoy the water.

A short trip to Italy is better than none at all. I love Ponte a Serraglio.

I love seeing Signore Talenti’s duck and the heron – they are iconic fixtures in the Ponte a Serraglio scenes. So wonderful for your to return to your gorgeous apartment amid familiar surroundings. Warm ‘Ciaos’ to the locals: Annalisa, Cherry, Agostino for me. Look forward to seeing more of your adventures on your blog.

There has been a white duck here ever since I have been coming to BdL. It can’t be the same one.
