In search of sunflowers. Not a difficult task at this time of year as taking a drive in any direction from Olvera will almost certainly bring you to field upon field of bright yellow flowers.
So, this morning on a warm but slightly overcast day, I headed out west on the A-384 in the direction of Villamartin before taking a minor road out into the campo.
Caracoles anyone!. Snails, a popular tapas dish here in Andalucia.
A white egret, as advised by friend Russ in Canada, resting in a tree.
A strangely shaped old tree....the imagination could wander just looking at it.
Perhaps it comes to life as the mist descends, darkness falls and the owls start to hoot...........!!
Camera shy sunflowers.....looking at the great views.
Sadly, the growing season is coming to an end and heads start to droop until next year.
A familiar point along the A-384 between Olvera and Algodonales is this farm building, an "aiming" point and landing area for the paragliders who regularly jump off the Sierra de Lijar above the pueblo of Algodonales.
