I am joining Cee's challenge for the first time and starting off with a combination post:
People and Animals
Walking back and forth all day in the summer months, selling his wares cannot be easy, yet he always has a smile for anyone he meets along the way.
Locals at the monthly market in Algoz - shopping and catching up on the gossip.
This guy had the good sense to choose a sitting position!
I have used this photo of a participant in the street animation at a medieval fair before on a post for Jake's Sunday post challenge.
I can't resist introducing my 4 dogs. There are quite a few posts about them on my blog. Here are 2 in the garden.
Here are my other 2 on an outing to the beach.
Outdoors and Nature
A carob tree, common in the Algarve landscape.
An almond tree in bloom, also common in the Algarve in January/February.
A cloudy morning at the Aveiro lagoon.

These are wonderful photos for these challenges! I particularly love the trees. There is always something special about them.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cee. If I had a big garden, it would have lots of trees.
Delete2nd attempt - not sure I had ever seen an almond tree before and hadn't thought about them blooming.
ReplyDeleteOh. Just click on "almond blossom" in the 'labels' section on my left side-bar for more posts on almond trees and blossom.

ReplyDeleteMy humble apologies to tita buds. While trying to catch up and reply to everyone's comments, my fingers slipped and the above post got deleted. It's a pity because it was a very nice comment by a blogger that I follow and who only recently discovered I had a blog, too.
DeleteSincerely yours,
Clumsy blog admin. Mara
