A quick snatch of sunshine saw us scampering up the hillside at the back of the villa for a walk amongst the vineyards and orchards. The wildflowers were there in abundance and the fruit trees were just budding the young fruit. Surprising in its fecundity, so early in the season, was a fig tree laden with fruit, looking to the sky for the warmth of the sun.
Big orchids blossoming everywhere.
An olive tree with a vine all over it. Two in one. What Romans and Greeks loved best.
A beautiful rainbow reaching into the hillside.
Stuff of novels and dreams these Tuscan hillsides.
