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.

Let There Be Light - Photo Competition

January can be a depressing month and even though here in Jaen, Andalucia we often have blue sky there are grey days too. We've had quite a few of those. So when I saw a competition entitled 'Let There Be Light' I thought it a good pastime on a grey day to browse through some photos.

Personally views and city excursions are my thing but when you're learning about photography from your teenager then sometimes you have to get out of your comfort zone (and noise level, allbeit briefly!)

This competition is being run by the fabulous lighting company Urban Cottage Industries  based in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, UK.
