Autumn colour in Spain

In the land of the bourganvilla Ivy makes a nice change in the shady parts of my garden. The varigated ivy below is cascading from a Victorian chimney pot that my brother in law found in London. Ive and chimney pot. photograph by Tim IrvingSouthern Spain doesn't have that many hardwood trees so autumn colours are few and far between. But I do have a creeper that grows around the door to the garden. This year it's 'creeped' to my office and is framing my view out of the door.

If we have rain in the villages - they have snow on the top of the mountains. I like the look of snow, but I prefer to view it from a distance. This winter I'm planning a big photographic project at the ski resort here. I don't yet have any appropriate clothing for working on top of a mountain in the snow, advice on avoiding hypothermia would be very welcome. I'll keep you posted.

  1. Well, you already know how I feel about autumn, so I won't tantrum about it again here. But hey, I DO like that ivy and oh-so-very-much that Victorian chimney pot.

    Snow? You can have it (but it sounds like you don't want it either!). But with you photographing it, snow might start looking good to me. Work your magic! Staying comfy in it? Keep your feet warm. Get some of those "moon boots" and stick already warm feet into them, and you'll have it made while you're walking around.
