Wandering around in the hilltowns of Tuscany last year with no agenda but to stop and admire the scenery, we saw this gate. I've been wondering about this garden ever since I photographed the gate.

Who do you think lives in the house boardering the garden? Who takes care of the garden? Do the owners live there full time or is it their vacation home? Was the house and garden passed down from generation to generation? Or did someone outside the family buy it recently because there was no one to inherit it?

I wonder whether the house is big or small? Are the people who live in the house, tall or short, fat or thin, mean or nice?

The questions in my head are endless, this watercolor thinking may fill up my entire holiday weekend.

Happy 4th of July to all.
