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.

Monday Morning Photo - Wetlands in Castilla-La Mancha

I guess it's obvious  that Castilla-La Mancha has so many wetland areas, but being so flat. I'd never given it a thought. We were planning on visiting the famous Tablas de Daimiel National Park  but we also went to the four lagoons near our hotel - Lagunas de Alcazar de San Juan. My first real bird watching session from a hide revealed lots of flamingos and many other (unknown to me) water birds.
