Sunshine and frost!

We have had a lovely warm autumn,  even now if you're out in the sun,  it's glorious.  So not surprisingly there seems to be some confused plants.  A clump of iris that normally bloom in May  or June,  have decided to bloom again.  Only  one clump,  quite a shady clump,  none of the others are showing any signs of thinking that it's spring again.

A view taken from the pista on our way up to Yegen the day before yesterday,  sometimes the sun just shines in the right place and you can see so many hills and valleys and colours.

We all went yesterday afternoon for a stroll in the sunshine,  Monty got so hot that he laid down in the running water up at the fuente,  and even Pip paddled with all four feet which is unlike her.  She normally stands with one foot on dry land,  or holds one foot up as if poised to run.

And then this is morning it was oh so cold.   4.5°.    I even thought about gloves, especially when we reached the big fig junction where we go left on the GR7 towards the fuente.  Very white and frosty on the open land and the long grass at the side of the footpath.  But no frost here,  only 200 metres or so difference in distance,  I suppose we are just that little bit more sheltered and that little bit lower.

Sunrise this morning...
