Photos - Florence

The day after my bus tour I took a walk around and came into Giardini di Boboli which lies behind the Pitti Palace.  It was a very pleasant Sunday with lots of people taking the air so I sat for a while underneath a tree and watched the world go by.  These are a few pictures I took in the gardens and as I was leaving them.
 Quiet pathways on the walk down into the gardens.

 I couldn't help taking this one.  There was a mother duck with her ducklings swimming around so I waited until they got into a near perfect position for Neptune to harpoon them (click for larger image).

 Neptunes fountain again but from behind looking out over the Palazzo Pitti and Florence in the background.

 The gated entrance to another part of the gardens.

One of the old city wall gates at the southern entrance to the gardens.
