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.

Live Flamenco

When Martos, my local town and the olive-growing epicentre of Jaén held its 35th Flamenco night I was there, it was my first time in the large outdoor auditorium and at a live Flamenco session.

As another first I took some bits of video, as you´ll see pretty low quality and wobbly but a start. I was quite happy with the results and sound from my small handbag-sized point and shoot - take a look at my first videos and first time inclusion in a post.
