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 - Empty Road and Snow Capped Sierra Nevada Behind Tree Plantation, Granada

When heading to Granada airport from the north we always go through plantations of poplar trees. This is the area known as 'La Vega' flat and fertile.

Rather pleased with this shot that hubby took, to order, as I was driving. Who gets the credit?

Taken on 26th January with the Sierra Nevada snow-covered backdrop for lots of great skiing this year. We had a little explore after visiting the newly opened La Casa Grande de Zujaira a sensitively restored 200 year-old house for small private functions as well as a Boutique B&B.

This is the road from Valderubio to Fuente Vaqueros home to the museum of Frederico Garcia Lorca, which sadly we weren't able to visit - next time!
