Leaving Podere Ciona, we followed Mimma's directions to the small village of Cavriglia and the Fondazione Roseto Biologico Carla Fineschi. You know I love to photograph flowers, and this botanical garden has 4,500 varieties of roses! We also discovered that the place had a lot of animals--dogs, cats, a goat (that loved to be petted), chickens...and peacocks, that put on a show for us. Occasional sprinkles of rain did not slow us down. I hope you enjoy my photos--look for raindrops on roses (but alas, I have no photos of whiskers on kittens;-)
I am sure you have seen this view of a peacock...
...but have you seen this view?
This rooster was just as full of himself as the peacocks.
We had no idea that this beautiful place even existed until we heard about it by word-of-mouth. It always amuses us that these wonderful destinations exist in little villages that are off the beaten path.
