Morning walk

Now temperatures in Spain are more pleasant, after a very hot summer, I have resumed my daily walks

 

I must confess that the Mediterranean life is very attractive, with so much wine, tapas and siesta, so daily walks are one thing I can do to increase my condition...

 

 So let me show you some vistas from this morning, it is funny how much details can be seen when you simply walk!

 

 

My walk started along the vineyards, where the grapes

are ready to be harvested

They make a sweet dessertwine with these, called Mistela

 

 

Then I passed a big carob tree. Its leaves are a good replacement

 for Eucalyptus in bouquets!

We don't have fresh flowers here (just imported), neither have I seen Eucalyptus,

 but

silk flowers and carob tree leaves are a good follow up for me...

 

fruits of the carob tree

During WW II it was an alternative for cocoa,

but I believe nowadays it is only being used in

the health food section of our food

industry

 

 

the artist in me got excited when I discovered this tree trunk,

in fact it was a hole of an old branch that has weathered over the years

...pure beauty...

 

 

some more eye candy

 

 

the tree that can be seen all along the Mediterranean coast:

the pine tree

it is protected nowadays, for there have been removed way

too many trees during the house building boom of

some decades ago

 

 

and finally, on my way back  home, the sea!

It never ceases to make me happy

 

This was it for today, I hope you enjoyed this impression of

my morning walk

 

Bye 4 now!
