It has started getting difficult to find new places for a walk along the marshes, without having to drive too far. this day we found one

Image

and the "Catch of the Day" were two old rotten sun chairs with windscreen and a view, where we had lunch ( finger sandwiches ^0^ ) very comfortably O/\ O/\

Image

View

Image

Some flowers ( Rosemary)

Image

A bougainvillea cut to become a tree

Image

Apart from the view, the sun and the warm temperature, there was not much around so we moved a couple of kilometers. On the way an Eurasian Hoopoe Upupa epops, according to Dewi O0 at the same place as last time, but they are always a joy for the eyes :yes:

Fa was tired, so I went on my own for a tour around an old fort on the waterfront.

this tree had the most almost intoxicant perfume and looked pretty as well

Image

Image

I think that it is a crested lark with butterfly lol

Image

Image

Small strange blue flowers; no idea what they are -O-

Image

(BTW a white iris has appeared in the garden :-) )

I presume the usual chiffchaff O**

Image

A corner of the fort

Image

Apricot? Peach?

Image

The original entrance to the fortress

Image

I love the fruit trees in flower against the blue sky O/\ O/\

Image

Another corner. There were probably water around the fortress

Image

And the last corner with its "tower" (Morocco is/was right on the other side of the sea ;-) )

Image

I went back to Fa who was sitting comfortably in my chair placed in the sun 0'

Next "Catch"..... -O-

Fascinating again!

Like how you staged Fa's body! =O: =O: =O:



This place looks like something from a fantasy wargame sometimes, and I like those! \O X#X

Really enjoying the pics, Lis! O0

Except the flowers... --00--
