After the rain

Lovely to see this little cloud hovering over the water. All that remained of a spectacular storm. 

Fresh figs!

We love fresh figs, and these were just gorgeous.  There are lots of fig trees around the village, growing out of stone walls.  The figs never seem to be ripe when I am looking, so these probably came from the south of Italy. But the leaves came from the village!

Discovering glorious views at the north end of Lake Como

Sunset shadow

Sometimes, when the air is very clear, we see the shadow of the mountain behind us projected onto the mountain in front.
