After sitting watching rain falling from my window in Ponte a Serraglio I decided to take a chance on the weather and go out for the day.
The rain was needed after a dry summer, but after a while it gets a bit dreary.
Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day so I set off for Lucca. Blue sky is a perfect backdrop for lovely Lucca.
Autumn is my favourite time to walk in the Lucca wall. Some of the trees have lost their leaves already, some stay green and some are glorious gold.
The weather in the last few weeks has been all over the place in Ponte a Serraglio.
The flowers on the bridge are on the way out, but some are still putting on a good show.
On the way back from Lucca I looked up while stopped at a traffic light and saw what appeared to be snow on the mountains. It was cloud, but it won’t be long before there is snow. There have already been light falls at Abetone.
Even though the rainy days get a bit boring the misty, damp days are beautiful.
