Few of us, I believe, will be sorry to see 2020 come to an end. I certainly won’t. I am hopeful that the new vaccines will eliminate the Covid threat over the next 6 months or so, and we can begin to live a life similar to the one we used to know.
But, here in Tuscany, I’m simply grateful we are out of lockdown. There are still many, many restrictions, but as long as we can walk freely, I’m good.
On the 2nd day of the less locked down rules, I took a very long passeggiata that took me to the Cascine, where I enjoyed the waning autumn colors. This major European park is a treasure indeed, as you will see in these pictures as well as in some other posts I’ll be writing soon.

Even the bugs in Italy are beautiful! Ha ha! See this red bug that looks like an African mask? Great colors and design. My compliments, Mother Nature!
