This perspective caught my eye today and it’s the first time I realized that these are stylized lamps with a flame. I love the Pousada.
This is as tiny as a mouse’s eye! Growing out of a crack in the wall.
I love it when the osteospernums start to bloom.
The center reminds me of licorice candy we used to get a Christmas time. I would let them melt in my mouth to make the experience last!
Osteospernums
Bitoque is a traditional Portuguese dish, which consists of a lean fried or grilled steak or pork, that is usually accompanied by fries, rice, various salads and topped with an egg. This recipe has its origin in Beira’s, Portugal.
An almond bloom and an almond bud……..sigh!! So lovely.
Early morning and the Pousada tower with Faro and the sea off in the distance.
A few of last years almonds clinging to the tree as the new flowers burst.
The nespera (loquats) are starting to form……won’t be long.

This is the tower they were paining back in early December? It turned out beautifully! Love the flowers, especially the tiny tiny orchids!

Yes, the same tower, and they did a wonderful job. You would love discovering all the tiny and gorgeous flora around here. It never ceases to bring me joy.

Wonderful to see the flowers coming to life with their blossoms! This is so nice to see as we received 60+ cm of snow in Cape Breton in the last 4 days – pretty, but that’s enough.

Yup! No problem as I stay away from the snowbanks. Another crazy storm on Sunday but getting out of dodge Tues and heading to Hfx until spring.

I LOVE the main picture! The white Osteospermum with a deep blue/black centre that turns into a gorgeous violet colour that bleeds into the snow white. Lovely.

Love seeing the osteospernums…such perfection in every colour! The almond blooms always look like ‘angels’, to me, so pure! and virginal. And your wonderful lunch reminds me that it’s lunchtime here and I’m hungry! LOL! xoxo

Yes, I too love those flowers. The almond trees are thickening with blooms each day. We are planning a hike for early in the week and it should be gorgeous with blooms.
