March Montage - Some of my favourite snaps of the month

2/4/2014

0 Comments

 
More often than not, the March weather throws up a few surprises here in Galicia; this year was no exception. Damp, misty mornings characterised the beginning of the month. Busy spiders created intricate webs, hanging from dormant grapevines like carefully crocheted doilies.

1. A web on the web.
From one extreme to the other: the temperature soared.
Picture
2. Feeling hot, hot, hot
The tulips rejoiced at the warm bright sunshine.
Picture
3. Open to suggestion
A day of mourning followed for my friend Mariano: The Madrileño. 
Picture
4. Amen
This glorious spring weather was an opportunity not to be missed.
Picture
5. Spring is in the air
There was work to do in the vineyards.
            “A keen eye and a pair of razor-sharp secateurs are all that separate success from failure. Mistakes at this stage will be costly”.
Picture
6. Weeping grapevines
Even the storks were busy: a little minor renovation work in preparation for the new arrivals. 
Picture
7. Room with a view
The garden is hardly at its best at this time of year but don’t tell the pansies that.
Picture
8. Perfect pansy
We’re not out of the woods yet though. The icy cold of winter refuses to let go of the distant mountain tops.
Picture
9. Icing sugar peaks
The church of Canabal provides a calming backdrop for a neighbour’s horse. He’s just happy to be out in the sunshine after a long wet winter.
Picture
10. Ride a white horse
In the village of Sober the flags are out, Spain and Galicia, motionless in the still air.
Picture
11. Blue sky bureaucracy
Not a second of daylight is wasted as the work continues on – from dawn until dusk.
Picture
12. From dawn 'til dusk
Throughout the day clumps of Red Clover brighten up the roadside verges.
Picture
13. Wonderful weeds
Before anyone asks, no I'm not a train spotter, I just happened to find myself down by the station in Canabal.
Picture
14. Sidelined
The sun has set on another month. The clocks have leapt forward and summer is on its way.
Picture
15. Down and out.
