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.

Enough Computer, Get Some Fresh (Hot) Air

When my youngest son (twelve) announced I´d spent too much time on the computer today and needed some fresh air I scrounged an extra fifteen minutes (3 or 4 at a time) and out came the bikes.

Having found an old bike bag in a dirty, dusty, chuckable state and being the horder I am, I washed it. Well as I had to go out on my bike I had the bright idea to take my camera with me and what to put it in?

Exactly, hording pays, but only when it´s recent or I don´t remember I´ve kept it or where I put it anyway.

So camera in velcro-on bike bag off we go, but not very far down the road is my first shot, so a little pause. And then another and guess what? I´m in trouble again!

"Are we going on a bike ride or a bike stop and start"

Here´s the pick of the those I managed to snap, see what a lovely area I live in?
