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.

Street Carpet for Corpus Christi

Hubby and I were sat outside the lovely Hospederia de Querencia in Bujalance when a 4x4 with trailer stopped and sacks started to be unloaded at the same time as a red sand/pellet looking substance raked out onto the road we were intrigued.


After a tour of the hotel we found out exactly what was happening - a carpet for the Corpus Christi procession.


The red ´sand´ was actually dyed sawdust, the white, blue, yellow and pink, salt and the green was grass. A work of art with hours of preparation from many hands then to be trampled on by many feet.
