The Catalan landscape has a similar look to typical Scottish rural landscapes. Catalonia has a different climate to most of Spain due to the Pyrenees. This has the effect of causing more rainfall, providing a greener landscape and colder winters than the rest of Spain. Scottish summers do not compare, but somehow the effects on the countryside draws similarities.
My joy of gardening is seeing beautiful and tasty bounty harvested from garden to plate, sandwich or pot straight from the ground. This has been a good year with plenty sunshine and rain. This list includes:
The harvest bounty also provides the pleasure of sharing with family, friends and neighbours. Of course I have photographs…
Here are more summer garden flora and fauna photographs. Getting in close with my specialised macro lens really brings the little world out to a larger scale. In such a vibrant time the garden is full of textures, colour and beasties like ladybird, flies and more. Lots to enjoy.
Late August and Summer Garden Flowers, so a little detail what is on show.
A local squirrel distrubed from peanut collecting duty by a full frontal Poppy bark-fest scampered to a nearby wall and hung upside-down. Later-on the rain drenched flowers made intense colour and texture photographs.
