The Tuscan Sun

An outdoor scholar,
Chronicling nature’s truths.
Once rebelled against authority,
Way back in his youth.

With a love for soil,
He relocated to Tuscany.
Over by the mountains,
Of Lunigiana Italy.

A photographer at heart,
With a knack to disperse.
In retail I mean but
Gives his heart in verse. 

He is Nigel Fawcett,
The one and only one.
He blesses us with words,
From below the Tuscan sun.
