Monday Morning Photo - Wisteria Time in Andalucia

How quickly spring comes around after the short winter here in the Sierra Sur de Jaén. After lots of very much needed rain we´re back to the normal cloudless blue.  My garden is shooting incredbily with the moisture and now sunshine. And my beautiful wisteria flowers grandly albeit it short-lived. The big black carpenter bees love it. Each flowering season reminds me of the Botanical Gardens in Malaga and the ´tunnel´ of wisteria that I haven´t yet caught in bloom. April is a good time to plan to go if it´s on your list.  Here´s the botanical garden link La Concepción Botanical Gardens. And a sneaky peak at the wisteria. See the Monday Morning Photos list.

Oh No, It´s Cooling Down

After a crazy ongoing summer with no rain it finally seems to be cooling down.
I´ve had to put long sleeves on and now jogging bottoms having been in shorts all day.

It´s great, blue sky and sunny, not ridiculously hot and now much cooler evenings. But we need rain. The olives that haven´t watering systems are shrivelling up on the trees.


It´s going to be a very poor harvest for many this year, yet the crop is a bumper one, such a shame. They´re falling off already even before turning black.

The dust goes on (I hate the dust), and now it´s fly time too. Annoying slow flies. October is always the worst and I´ve never understood why. Why why´s there so many flies?

Why aren´t there any flies on the coast either? Anyone fill me in?
