Italy, Tuscany, Torre del Lago Puccini, Winter 2024

Torre del Lago (Tower of the Lake) is a town in the province of Lucca, Tuscany, Italy, between the Lake of Massaciuccoli and the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Festival Puccini, an annual opera festival which attracts around 40,000 attendees, is held in its open-air theatre, a short distance from Villa Puccini where the opera composer Giacomo Puccini lived and worked. He frequently hunted around the lake. Torre del Lago is sometimes mentioned with the suffix "Puccini" in his honour. He is buried in a small chapel inside the Villa.

I really, really love the beauty in these little blossoms and it is good exercise with the macro lens. Nailing focus isn't always easy because it's difficult to get parallel to the parts of the blossom, and if it's windy at all, all bets are off. It actually was a bit windy with intermittent rain on this afternoon, but being determined, I shot way too many to get a couple of keepers.

Thank you for your warm and kind visits and comments my dear flickr friends. You are all the very best. ❤️
