Spain - March to May 2009 We plan to be in Spain about every other fortnight through 2009 and here are some photos from our March, April and May trips. Gorgeous weather, super blossom on the trees in March, a visit by James and Rebecca in May and long, clear, dark nights for astronomy. |

| In March the almond trees were loaded with beautiful blossom | We watched one evening as the sun dipped behind the distant mountains | Leaving behind lovely reds and tinted clouds | In April, inside the cortijo we found our latest gecko friend | The irises along the side of the track were a picture |

| And there was still a lot of snow on the High Sierra | But at our altitude the skies looked good for astronomy | We were visited one evening by Steve and Lucia | And Steve (from Cornwall) kindly baked us all pasties | We paid homage one day to Isabel - who enjoys playing with Liz |

| But the wine preparation area was nice and cool | And the dried figs yummy | The wine was so good we had to buy a few bottles | In the evening we cooked on the terrace in the sunshine | And posed for the camera |

| We had a super day walking in the high Sierra Nevada. Still covered in snow at 7,000 ft | We walked along an acequia - one of the channels feeding water from the peaks | Which occasionally cascade long distances in splendid waterfalls | While we stopped for some lunch and rest - | Baby goats were being born - and eagles were watching overhead, waiting to pounce |
