Holm oaks and granite. La Sierra de La Cabrera.

The eastern end, including El Pico de La Miel (Honey Peak) which isn't the highest point on the ridge but is the most famous as it rises directly above the Madrid Burgos motorway. It's possible to scramble and rock-hop more or less along the entire ridge.

Old door and window. Maderuelo, Segovia Province. Night shot.

Algete Church on yet another very dull day. Iglesia Nuestra Senora de la Asuncion. One day I might even go in and have a look round.

I think this could be rosa Pullman Orient Express 2007, but there are lots that are similar. A very stormy day again with low light levels.

Wisteria in the evening light. Viewed from the front of the house.

Viewed from the back of the house. My sister's shot. I was still in the Land of Nod!

The first garden rose of many. Project 21, April: flowers. Best on large I think.

From the slopes of Mondalindo, overlooking the village of Valdemanco, to the slopes of the Sierra de La Cabrera. It hadn't rained for almost a year and the country was as parched as it looks here!

Photo of Porthcadjack from the other side of the cove taken on the same day (see entry 3 uploads ago www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/43863236) . Samphire and Asparagus Islands, Carvannel Downs. In the distance; North Cliffs, Hell's Mouth, Reskajeage and Godrevy. A millpond of an ocean! Many thanks to you all for your great comments and your yellow stars - much appreciated

I DO WISH THE DELETE BUTTON WAS FAR AWAY FORM THE EDIT BUTTON. APOLOGIES TO ALL THOSE WHO ADDED VERY INTERESTING COMMENTS. :o(( OK; again ... I passed this way half an hour later and the whole lot had been strimmed. The council do this every year, apparently as it is a 'fire risk'. Why they can't wait until after the colourful spring wildflower display completely beats me! TONIGHT I WILL SHOW THE AFTER EFFECT. THOSE OF A SENSITIVE DISPOSITION SHOULD WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW BY WHICH TIME I WILL HAVE DELETED IT (deliberately this time!).

Another old olive tree in a local park.

South West Peninsula coast Path between Basset Cove and Ralph's Cupboard, Portreath, Cornwall. For Pam. Full screen best, I think. I simply felt like showing it again. It cheers me up! Hope it does the same for you. An addition to Project 21, April: Flowers.

Algete. A mix of municipal buildings, municipal plantings and private flats on the hillside.

Taken on Boxing Day morning a year or so ago. A lovely scene to wake up to. And I wouldn't have guessed at the time that a year later I would be living here!

Here is the Wikipedia entry for the tree that I couldn't name before... es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamarix_gallica Sorry, I tried to translate it into English but it wouldn't let me! I hope you can translate it into your language. If not, let me know and I'll try again. Here is a link in English, kindly provided by Sami en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamarix_gallica

I fancied showing this again seeing as I have absolutely no more new Cornwall photos to upload! Photo taken and first posted in 2017. Better on full screen.

A tree that appealed to me but my phone couldn't identify it. Any ideas? ANSWER: IT'S THE FRENCH TAMARYSK. es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamarix_gallica Sorry, I can't translate it into English. Hope you can translate it into your own language. Parque de Eva Blanco, Algete. The colourful fence is standard for children's play areas everywhere in Spain.
