Posting 4 more photos that I took during my trip to Tuscany. I love the architecture, food, and farming of this part of Italy. To see 4 more photos from Tuscany please check that link.

Thank you for the kind words, Camellia
I will never forget Tuscany, its colors, its food and wine, its architecture, so well shown in your images
Thanks, Antonio. I wish I had more time to spend in Tuscany. Perhaps one day I will be lucky to go back.
Oh yes, Lucca, I love it! Your brilliant photos - I saw the other four photos too - "beamed" me back there. "Thank you Scotty!"
Thank you, Sidgrid! I am glad it brought back memories 
Beautiful series! Wow! Makes me want to go spend lots of time in Italy. I have never been. I'd like Portugal & the Azores, while I'm at it....
ps....great to see the e-mail notifications back in service!!! they are so essential to the enjoyment & appreciation of all the members' lovely offerings. Thanks for persevering in the re-instatement of this very important feature! Cheers!
Italy is really a special place! Best food, wine, weather, water for every tast (lakes, hot springs and of course the sea), very different landscapes, lots of spectacular events during Summer and as much archaeology as you wish to see. Buy a ticket, grab your camera and have a good time! 
Thanks for the encouragement! I'll put that on my list! I'm planning my 6th trip to New Zealand & Australia, in early 2018, but I may make Italy the next one, perhaps in the Fall of 2018, after tourist season.....
In Italy is in some way no "after tourist season". 
I'm sure you're right! I'm not the only retired "old fart" with time on his hands & a lust for travel..........(((grin/grimace)))
*giggle*
I wished, I wouldn't be such an coward and could travel by plane ... But next week we will have a little sightseeing trip in Croatia/Istria by car and we won't be the onle two "old farts" doing this! 
Viva "Old Farts" ........sounds like a cool adventure! I'll look forward to your photo reportage.....
I wish I could drive to New Zealand & Australia......I much prefer travel by auto than by air or boat, because I love to stop at interesting places all along the way......
Thank you, Jay. You should definitely go there if you get the chance. I like the pace of life and their attention to details. It is a totally different experience for someone living in NA.
p.s glad the emails are working again too
I'd love to go spend a month in one of the small towns, where I could rent a small apt. with a kitchen and try to live like the natives....I can't tolerate "tourist traps".....
Thanks for getting the e-mail notifications working again......hope they "stay fixed".... It's a real "pain" when we don't know when someone has responded to our comments.......it's a bummer for the sender & recipient, as well....
Cheers!
