A Different Route

I read once that one of the best ways to keep life interesting was to change the route you take - to school, to work, to the gym. Changing the route makes you look at things differently and makes you look at different things. Today, I took a different route to my local COOP grocery store and stumbled across this magnificent Art Nouveau house.



It was slightly out-of-place given the fairly uniform architecture of Firenze, but it was appropriate for the era that the neighbourhood was developed. A wonderful discovery - just by changing the route.

Detail - and yes, that's a lemon tree.
The house also had a couple of orange trees out front,
full of fruit.
