Boboli Gardens

A hot day in Florence.

An unhappy hubby.

I suggested a walk in the Boboli Gardens.

Being Summer it was a sea of green.

Not a Spring bloom in sight.

Hubby became even more unhappy at the lack of colour.

I didn't mind.

I know gardens change from season to season.

I was happy to explore the famous garden, said to inspire the garden at Versailles.

I'd researched a bit about these gardens, said to be the greatest outdoor art gallery in the world,

and I wanted to explore.

I heard about beautiful sculptures, fountains and grottoes. 

But we didn't find them.

We didn't get very far in before it became plainly obvious that my poor beloved was not having a good time.

And what he really needed was a coffee and somewhere to sit.

It was a bit disappointing.

But some day I may get back.
