Andalucia 2008
Flora and Fauna
A splendidly vibrant Convulvus at the Alhambra
A spiky thistle up on La Maroma
A not so sure footed ? Ibex
Another shrub up on La Maroma
Sage and a Colchicum
Lovely golden grasses on La Maroma
A sun bathing butterfly
And his mate
An alpine high up La Maroma
I think this was Thyme
Another alpine in flower
Colchicums, Thyme and Sage?
More alpines
Low mounded and thorny
Ouch – my legs suffered from these
More silvery plants – sorry I’m so pathetic at naming them
Some Rosemary
I liked this shot of the European oak acorns
Hot peppers near Riogordo
Almonds ready for picking or shaking or hitting?
Rock apes
And another smaller one
Looks like Alysum growing high up on the rock limestone
Some lovely seed heads near Ronda
Don’t know just for a change
Spot the swallows swooping for lunch near Ronda
