Januar Has Become So Normal Already

Image
It is already the middle of January and this new year has already become so normal. The noise and excesses that accompanied the beginning of the year are now forgotten (until December). The coast is incredibly green, it may be a bit exaggerated to compare it with the autonomous community of Asturias, but I have not seen it so green in 20 years (which unfortunately does not mean that the draught is over). Since I love mosses and similar plants, I am happy to discover some near me (here some moss I found during a hike near Pizarra). Enjoy!

Happy Holidays! Pizarra

Image
Happy holidays! I wish all my friends much happiness in this holiday season and love, health and peace throughout the coming year.  Here are two photographs of the landscape near the small Andalusian town of Pizarra. I have never seen it as green as this year (we finally got some rain, sometimes too much). Enjoy!  If you like them, prints and other stuff are, as always, available through the links below.

Flowers After The Rain

Image
After the rain, a dry landscape can be so different: mushrooms and green grass are everywhere, and flowers are popping up.  This will not last, but it is time to enjoy the almost winter, which is mild here. Fortunately, I do not have to travel at the moment, so I can quietly admire the hidden beauty of my place. Pink flowers seen during a short hike in Benalmádena (province of Málaga, Spain)

Torre de los Ladrones - Marbella

Image
So close to the Mediterranean Sea, the Torre Ladrones is the highest watch tower of the entire coast of Málaga. I like this place: the tower shines like a jewel, standing alone among the dunes of Artola, near the town of Marbella. Torre Ladrones (Playa Cabopino, Marbella, Spain)

Cloud Formations at Carihuela Beach

I have added a new photo to my "Skies" series! Walking along the beach last week, I saw this: Interesting cloud formations at Carhihuela Beach (Torremolinos, Spain)

Waiting for the beach cleanup

The province of Málaga experienced extreme rainfall and flooding last week (the phenomenon "DANA" = high altitude isolated depression). Fortunately, our city was not devastated and no deaths were reported. Only our beaches are now full of garbage waiting to be picked up by tractors.

Walking through a field

Image
Sometimes it is best to walk through a field without thinking about what is happening in the world. No matter what country, everything is scary. My body is in Madrid, but my thoughts are in Málaga and Gaza. Tomorrow will be another day where some people will need me to get some hope and then I will be full of energy again. Tonight I just walk, with a small bird as only company. I wish my husband were here, and my dog too, but they are far away. The wind is picking up, which means it will be dark soon.
