Holiday pictures

Hi everybody it`s the holiday season and I thought it would be nice to have a holiday pictures thread. Here are some of my pics taken last week in Los Gallardos nr Mojacar in the Almeria region of spain. Hope you like them.

 

lovely pictures pip :D

 

Thanks dancing queen I have some pictures of the local insects etc which I will put together and post on the wildlife gallery tomorrow.

 

Beautiful, pip! Feel like I'm sitting in the garden! :rolleyes:

I've noticed all the Bunny Ears cactus is blooming here now ... aren't they lovely? And the massive size of them is quite mind boggling.

I just love Lampranthus ... I've got the purple, red, orange and yellow now.

Look forward to your wildlife pics.

 

lovely pictures pip, that red tree is gorgeous

 

wow look at all those colours they are exellent pics pip cant wait to see your insect pics too.

 

great pic's Pip, sunshine and great bright colours

 

Thanks all,I do love the striking colours of mediterranean plants. :D

Rosa,the red tree you refered to is,I think,a very well established and old bouganvellia plant,it looks absolutely fantastic close up

 

Good idea with the holiday picture thread pip and you have made an excellent start with your great shots. Well done.

 

very nice pictures

 

Found this old thread and thought I would show you a few photos from Ciovo, Croatia. It's just off the mainland, south of Split. My hostess has an apartment here and was able to show me to more natural, non- touristy places near her.
Croatia has yet to be "discovered" by tourists but their numbers are rapidly increasing and Split airport has just had a significant expansion.
Would recommend Croatia - still unspoiled,

Beautiful. I think @silu has been there a couple of times.

 

Croatia has more than 1,100 islands. Ciovo is the one nearest the mainland and has nothing taller than 4 storeys high. Has no petrol station but plenty of super little beaches and restaurants.

THE LOST GARDEN OF HELIGAN


I remember a garden makeover TV programme where the homeowners made a mud head. The professional gardener wasn't impressed. I like the idea. I might find room for one someday.


An impressive array of dahlias.


Are these geraniums? I've never seen red or yellow ones before. They looked great.
