Natural Habitat

So other than the desert... this is where cactus can live! If you look on the right side of the picture, those are real life cacti. I still can't believe it. Didn't really go to Spain expecting that. Palm trees - yes, Cactus - no.
This is also that Chinese lane that I was talking about the other day... It goes up the hill and around the Alhambra. Quite a nice view from up here.

Beautiful Gardens

This is part of the gardens of the Alhambra "Generalife". I absolutely love the pink flowers that are overflowing from the side of the wall.

One of my favourite things about Spain is that they value water so much. Granada is not near any body of water... it is more or less in the centre of Spain. However, despite this you can see fountains almost everywhere.

Tomorrow I'll post more of fountains - and me - taking a dip to stay cool!

Town of Battle

My last photo from Battle. Tomorrow I will take you all to Hastings.
From this angle, the Abbey is directly behind me, as is a small restaurant called "Pilgrim's Rest". This is the rest of the town... not very big is it?

Spring in Seattle

Luckily, Spring comes much earlier in Seattle than it does in Toronto! Although it can still be a little cold when the wind comes, but the trees are blooming.

Spring yet?

Not yet time for flowers to bloom outside, but this lovely plant that I have on a windowsill seems to think it's spring! ...and who am I to disagree?
