I took the dog for a walk in the countryside on my parents’ property and I couldn’t resist taking lots of photos.

The roses are fully in bloom and are spectacular. The jasmine at Casina di Rosa is also in bloom and smells so good!

But the most spectacular thing I saw today (besides a really cool woodpecker nest in a plum tree!) were the olive trees completely covered in white flowers! Most people don’t even know what an olive tree flower looks like.

Here you are then: take a look at my photos of a day of May in the Tuscan countryside!
