I’ve been sick and though I’m better today, I’m not yet 100%. But I’m getting there! In any case, I needed to get some exercise and spend a little time with some nature. Off I went, finally, on my favorite passeggiata.

I adore this view from my walk along the Arno!

I was attracted to the shadow of the Florentine lily on the street. I tried to capture a stunning shot of it, but managed only these. Oh well, better luck next time!

I walked by a pomegranate bush just coming into flower! Love that shade of orange!

The last section, leading home. I love this path!

But today my view was arrested by this strange statue group. Weird or what??!!

I just can’t imagine why anyone would choose to put this statue in a park for families or, actually, any park anyplace! Yes it has a baby and a baby goat, but does that make it family/child appropriate? What theme can this represent? For the life of me of me, I am at a loss to explain this “art.”

Nevertheless, it was good to get out and walk and walk again!
