Water Lilies

Image
I am not sure how much longer the summer will last, but right now it is extremely hot and humid. It is better not to open the news channels here or abroad; the news is all bad.  I wish I could be a duck, frog, or tortoise in this pond full of water lilies.  Ducks (or frogs or tortoises) do not deal with politics. They do not have to vote, only to have nothing happen or have the opposite of what you voted for happen. They are not usually racist, nor do they kill for pleasure.

Summer Night in Pampaneira

Image
I love strolling through small villages at dusk or night. I am afraid of big cities (I always have been), both day and night: too many people, too much light, too much advertising, and too much noise. In small villages like Pampaneira (Alpujarra region, Spain) at night, you only hear birds of prey, howling dogs, and cats. Nothing reminds me of the world I want to forget. I cannot not see the lies or hear the arrogance.

Stuffed Animal in the Forest

Image
I was walking through a (kind of) tropical forest looking for shade when I found this! What is the story behind this stuffed animal? What happened to make it end up like this? I have never thrown away a stuffed animal, but I have saved many from the trash. ;-) In Torremolinos, Andalusia, Spain #Torremolinos #Málaga #spanish #Spain #ArtMadeByNature #Andalusia #Andalucía

Getting up Early and Enjoying the Sea

Image
When summer arrives, you have to get up early or wait until nighttime to enjoy the tranquility of the sea (when almost everybody is still in bed or already in front of the TV).  Beach of Fuengirola (province of Málaga, Andalusia, Spain) #Fuengirola #Andalusia #Andalucía #Málaga #Spain #holiday #summer

Flowers in Town

Image
It is still officially spring, but it feels like summer. You can walk through town and see flowers everywhere. However, I cannot forget that thousands of people are trapped in an open-air prison without access to basic necessities. The world seems to have forgotten about them. Or worse, the world thinks it is all right. Avda.

Infinity - or Almost

Image
I have the feeling of being back in South America. But actually, I am standing over the Río San Pedro in Cádiz. The holes in the sand are the work of the thousands of crabs that live there. It is so quiet—or is it? I hear only the clicking of the crabs' claws.

Sancti Petri

May is here again. The light is different. It is almost summer, but fortunately, the wind is still chilly. We would love to focus on the beauty of nature, but the state of the world prevents us from doing so.
