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 - Spring in the Spanish Mountains

Spring in the Spanish mountains is usally a riot of colour, this was taken yesterday on our jaunt. We went off-roading in our ancient Suzuki 4x4 to explore more tracks which are great for running, mountain biking, photography and walking.

This is the Sierra Sur de Jaen, the mountain ranges in the south of Jaen province. In over an hour we saw one person in a vehicle otherwise nothing but beautiful scenery and olive groves. Beautiful skies and mountain views faded into the horizon, merging with almost cloudless sky. I love where I live. Fancy a holiday here? Our holiday home is available for rent and for small retreats. No wifi, no phone connection, in the house (in the hamlet, yes) no bars or shops just peace. It's difficult not to relax here.
