My brother's next door neighbor is an elderly gentleman somewhere around 97 or 98 years old. He grew up on a farm and as far back as I can remember (my brother now lives in the house that used to be my parents') he was the go-to person in the neighborhood for anything you needed to know about planting, growing, and generally caring for a vegetable garden. Since his wife died, a few years back, he also takes care of the flowers in the front yard, with equally spectacular results. Please meet his beautiful pink hollyhocks, thriving in the summer sun. Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday!

I have an internal stairway with a skylight where I shelter the potted geraniums during the winter. This year I got lazy and didn't return them all to the garden. The light from the skylight, however, seems to be enough for them to flower and this bloom lit from above caught my attention. For Andy and Maurice (HappySnapper). Wishing you both the resilience you need as Andy recovers from a tough battle and Maurice fights his own fight.

Light and shadows play on a grid protecting a vent and generate an optical effect: if you look at the image for a couple of seconds, you will see small grey dots appearing and disappearing where the lines criss-cross. I want to dedicate this to Goandgo, who is responsible for inspiring me to look with a different eye at these utilitarian subjects, supposedly "boring" and common place but actually quite interesting when the light plays on them! Hope everyone has a great HFF!

From the first spring blooms in my garden, here's wishing you a ... __ romantic __ steamy __ cuddly __ dreamy __ purring __ cosy __ mushy __spicy __ passionate __ tender __ sensual __ heartwarming __ red hot __ starry-eyed Valentine's Day! (multiple choices permitted, of course!)

Evening light on the Lungarno suffuses this old cellar window in pink. HFF everyone!

The light at the end of the day shines through an ornate fence casting a squiggly shadow on a cobblestoned driveway in a small hamlet just outside the city of Florence. Freed from the worst of the lockdown strictures, I have finally been able to resume my "fence-hunting". I know you, of all people, will appreciate just how good that feels ... :))) Happy Fence Friday to everyone!

These days the majestic magnolia bovolata tree in Piazza Beccaria has dozens of people circling it every morning, with their phones up in the air trying to capture a bit of spring on their way to work. PIP

Another take on this colourful vine that adds bright pink to the fall color palette.

The fall colors of a Virginia Creeper bush I noticed on my lunch break.
