  1. Wonderful photos! You have perfectly captured the colors and the soul of Tuscany for this season. In Autumn the Tuscany it’s very special!

  2. Autumn is my favorite season and I love Tuscany…these photos are beautiful!

  3. Thank you!

  4. That pretty bush with orange and yellow flowers is, I think, lantana, which is a noxious weed in Australia. If left alone it becomes rampant and takes over everything. It seems to be OK in Italy. I see it often.
