Spring is definitely on her way 🌸 A few of my favourites from the dog walk 😁
Giant orchid (Himantoglossum robertianum) is taking it time to unfurl it's flowers.
Those gorgeous tiny Narcissus, again.
And whatever these are. Still unsure on the name of them, but the scent from them is definitely Hyacinth and heavenly 😍 So if you know the name please let me know.

These two swapped characters yesterday, roll reversal on behaviour 😇😈
Rita found her inner Shepherd and stayed guarding me while I took photos. Usually she runs off on her own adventures, more often the inner husky has a stronger pull.
Arko found and listened to his inner husky and disappeared on his own adventure for an hour! Usually he stays beside me while I take photos.

I love these tiny #Narcissus that grow in my neighbours campo.

I was distracted by almond blossom, again, on the dog walk, so the dogs took themselves to the acequia for a drink and mess around. I didn't have chance to get onto the correct settings before they decided to jump across and come say hello 😁

We have Trolls living in our mountains 😱

This bee was happy that the almond blossom survived the recent polar blast.
Almond blossom and the Bee, sort of sounds like it could be the name of a band 😂

Polar air has marched it's way to southern Spain, even dropping some precipitation along the way. We went to take some photo's #Lanjaron showing the snowy Sierra Nevada #mountains above. Our usual place for this shot took us into an area that was devastated by wildfire in September last year. It was horrifying to watch then, It was horrifying to wander through today. The loss of wildlife, nature & livelihoods is beyond words.

Introducing Sooty & Sweep, our cats who are sisters. It's at this time of the year they start to snuggle.

Soon our hillsides will be covered by almond blossom, it's a remarkable sight and one we look forward to every year. These particular trees are always early and the bees love them. I do fear for these ones though because we are due a big drop in temperature from Wednesday across Spain, including the Alpujarras 🥶

Here come the Giants. Well actually it's the only one and it's a young Giant so it's quite small and the rest of his friends only have their leaves showing 😁
Giant Orchid (Himantoglossum robertianum) taken with a mobile this morning.

It's the simple things in life.

So this kitten turned up and decided to move in with us a few months ago. Our dogs loved her, our cats hated her. We've been looking for a new home for her and today we took her. She is the only cat in the household and has two dog siblings to help her settle in. She is going to have a great life, and can now be the cat she was supposed to be. Good luck Squirt, we will miss you ❤️

Went out with the macro lens yesterday because we had dew, don't see it very often so had to make the most of it. Fun and frustrating with the moving sun 😅

Have moved server to one the husband has set up so apparently I have no posts visible now 🤔 So here is one. This is how our wonderful mountains, Sierra Nevada, look at the moment ❤️ That's the Sierra Nevada in Spain!
