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.

Rainy Easter Week

Yet again the glorious sunshine has taken a break for Easter week the time when almost every church in every town in Spain take to the streets with their Semana Santa or Holy Week processions.

Many have been avidly watching the forecast and the skies and since last Sunday, Domingo de Los Ramos or Palm Sunday many have ventured forth without hassle others have been on tenderhooks with last minute decisions to go or to cancel.

My local forecast says not a drop of rain after Friday - the last day of parades. So whether the ´crucifixion´ or Passion Play tonight jueves santo, Holy Thursday, in Fuensanta will take place or not we´ve a few hours to wait yet.
