It was spring (end of May) when this  Animal Alphabets challenge started and it is now finished short before December knocks at our door: all extinct animals from A to Z are drawn! As always, I learnt a lot performing this: I had never heard a word about most of those creatures before. There were a little bit too many dinosaurs for my taste, but it was fun reflecting about them as well.  I hope the next challenge will be dog or cat breeds, but this will depend on the results of the poll. Here are my six favourites, followed by a collage with all of them. Enjoy!

With several orange warnings for heavy rain and thunderstorm for our province today, we could not do much more than looking at the waves between two showers and enjoying the progress of our new pedestrian centre that will be ready quite soon (I will post some pictures when it is open, it will probably be December).  Eventually, towns everywhere in the world begin to realise that people are central, not cars. We humans need space to walk with our kids and dogs, to talk to our neighbours and look at the sky and birds.   Happy in the city Hugs

It was a bit chilly and grey, but we went for walk in beautiful Parque de la Paloma in Benalmadena, the neighbouring town. There are so many succulents there that you always discover something new: blooming or fruiting cacti, changing colours. If you are lucky, you may see a rabbit or peafowl between the plants, but it was not the case this time. Enjoy!

Nothing more exciting at the moment than getting up very early to look at the sky and the sea with its fishing boats. I wish I could sit in front of it for hours, when dogs are still sleeping and before people around me begin to make noise with their phones, cars and other gadgets. I know many people do not like winter time; I love it.  Sky and sea
