Last week, we have (again!) been waiting every day for a storm that did not come. We desperately need rain, that was seen in Extremadura, Huelva and Madrid (among others). Our Costa del Sol though is as dry as always. I could capture one of those “the-storm-will-certainly-coming-soon” moments, full of hope and excitement. Enjoy!

Andalusia is dotted with lovely white villages and small towns; the best known being Mijas Pueblo and Frigiliana, maybe, because they overlook the coast that is visited each year by millions of tourists. It is worth to look for more hidden places though, even if the way to get there is tedious. For example, Sedella and Salares, situated in the region called Axarquia, east of Malaga. Enjoy!

I have now completed my series "Moss and co" with more moss and all kinds of beautiful fungi. I would have liked to pick some to eat them, but as it is not a good idea to do that without a solid knowledge, I just enjoyed their colours and forms. I wish I could have stayed longer in those dark forests.

I can't believe it: my last blog is from a month ago! I was on the road, without Internet, looking for romantic places in Swedish forests. I have created a series for moss and lichen on my Fine Art America website. As it is a lot of work to edit pictures, I will put more there gradually, in the next weeks, because September is now there with other assignments also.  If I had to design a flag for a (non-existent) country flag, it would definitely be green and blue. Green like all those plants I could observe in wet environments, and blue like the lakes, the sea (and the sky when it is not raining). Enjoy!
