Monday Morning Photo - Wisteria Time in Andalucia

How quickly spring comes around after the short winter here in the Sierra Sur de Jaén. After lots of very much needed rain we´re back to the normal cloudless blue.  My garden is shooting incredbily with the moisture and now sunshine. And my beautiful wisteria flowers grandly albeit it short-lived. The big black carpenter bees love it. Each flowering season reminds me of the Botanical Gardens in Malaga and the ´tunnel´ of wisteria that I haven´t yet caught in bloom. April is a good time to plan to go if it´s on your list.  Here´s the botanical garden link La Concepción Botanical Gardens. And a sneaky peak at the wisteria. See the Monday Morning Photos list.

Love-locked in Malaga

A while ago I saw a photo (can´t remember where) of  workmen in Sevilla removing padlocks from a bridge. Supposedly representing a ´forever´ love couples inscribed their names on a padlock and attached it to the bridge railings. I wondered why they had to be removed. Maybe too much weight?

On a recent visit to Malaga I crossed a bridge and noticed padlocks. The dates on some of them suggested that removal wasn´t a regular thing here.




Is this the modern version of carving a heart with names on a tree?
