After the Rain

These Rose of Sharon flowers were in the garden outside the apartment in Coimbra, still holding a few drops of rain on their petals. Nothing dramatic. No landmark. No view. Just two blooms half-hidden by leaves, doing what flowers do after weather passes through.

I have been coming to Portugal for 11 years now, and the things that stay with me are not always the obvious ones. Sometimes it is a courtyard, a familiar walk to the gate, a plant I have probably passed before without paying attention.

The place becomes less about arrival and more about noticing what has been there all along.

Made it to our first destination - Lago Di Braies in the Dolomites (Northern Italy). What a view from our balcony!
