Country Life

Great pictures LOL
We certainly need some sunshine up here! Just had our second thunderstorm of the day,didn`t last very long but put down an awful lot of water.

Your injection of cloudless blue skies was a much needed tonic on yet another miserable day.

We`ve had rainfall in one form or another every day since June 12th.The weathermen/women are saying that we could be getting some decent weather in about 2 weeks.

 

Thanks, Babe ... I quite like the beachless rock picture.

Thank you, pip, you're just going to have to get a move on with that move to Spain so you can enjoy this on a regular basis!

My SAD :( syndrone would certainly be playing havoc with me if I were there now.

 

The picture of the palm tree with the beachless rock in the background is my favourite, the clump of lantana is a very close second.

The move to Spain is still going to plan. Spanish lessons begin in September at my local college.

 

Pleased all is on target, pip.

My favourite is the Agave bloom behind the Oleander ... with the beachless rock in the background! Funnily, it's t'other half's favourite as well ... and we never agree ... 'our' song since the day we met has been "You Say Hello, I Say Goodbye".

 

with us is more the case of:

Good choice, my dear friend ... I love her!

 

That looks very familiar Sis, we enjoyed the walk too and also had good weather in January.

 

Just to say, a little bit of Country Life will go up tomorrow.

 

Only just caught up with your last lot of pics LOL.
I dont mean this unkindly, its a compliment really, but they could almost be picture post cards. Very intense blue sky, and some good plants, I really like the fan palm and the coastline, the one before the agave and oleander.

 

Evening, pete. Thank you so much and I do take it as a compliment from you.

I think you're talking about the same one pip likes.

Hand on heart, I DO NOT enhance these photos ... they are as they come out of the camera. Sometimes I crop to remove the odd person who has happened to get in my line of vision. They are as I take them, facing the sun, away from the sun, angled.

Pleased you like them. Got some fun ones for tomorrow.

 

Just a few piccies from yesterday's luncheon outing ...

 

Lovely, Sis, in Alte, all of them or just the third one? The geese all lined up is good but no one told them that they should face the other way to have their photo taken!

 

Thanks, Sis. All in Alte, either from the tiny bridge or where the fonte is leading to the restaurant.

Shame about the geese lined up facing the other way. There must have been something interesting going on that we obviously couldn't see ... or they were sunning! I imagine the ducks are the ones we saw as teensy babies in January ... or was it October?

great pics LoL, bet you get the mossies from that stream in the evenings

 

Thanks rosa ... shouldn't be as it's moving water, a natural mountain stream. They prefer standing water, says she tongue in cheek! :rolleyes:
