Pink, white and blue.

The almond blossom varies in colour from pink to white,  set against the blue sky it makes for a dramatic picture...   just a hint of a cloud behind.....





I took the dogs out for a sunny afternoon walk yesterday, we went  just past the cemetery at Yegen before turning back home.  In the distance looking to the south, was a big fire which had been burning for a few hours by then.  Presumably controlled as there were no sounds of sirens.   The road to Murtas is visible on the right,  snaking its way up and over the hill,  also  the pink and white blobs of  almond trees in bloom......

remember,  you can click on the photo if you want to see it full sized..


It's quite a craggy landscape either side of the pista to Yegen,  covered with scrub and bushes and rosemary,  then suddenly you come across three perfectly ploughed terraces of olive trees....


High up above us today the winds are swirling in all directions,  it's noisy down in the valley to the front of the house,   the wind that sounds like a train is out there too but towards the west,  huge clouds billowing along,  way down south -  there are wind warnings near the coast for today and the spaceship clouds are forming...



Still a lovely afternoon though,  just got back in from a shorter walk around the fuente,  we came across a couple of Paco's goats and now a sheep with them too. 




And a later photo......sunset tonight....currently hovering over Montenegro....
