A Postcard A Day - Friday 25 Nov 2016 - Friday Smiles

Hello peeps! How are you all? 

I have some more photos of our little trip to the Parque Natural Cabo de Gata in south east Spain.

The temperatures there are milder than where we are. More importantly, it doesn't snow or freeze, so the plants that grow there are different to what we are used to. 

 Of course the Bougainvillia is the most spectacular. I would love one, but it dies at the first frost, so I can't have one!

 These short palm trees/shrubs are typical of the area and grow (in this case) on the beach.

 I have no idea what these are. In England we would call them rock plants. 

The town we camped at is called Carboneras. We were there ten years ago, when we used it as a base for a geological field trip. Well, it has improved immensely and is now a pleasant seaside town. One of the squares is named after Picasso and there was a mural depicting his different art styles:

I believe this is a self portrait.

And this is called 'Two women running on the beach' from his blue period.

I love street art and grafitti. I have a pinterest page with hundreds of great street art (have a look if you like that sort of thing: https://es.pinterest.com/liscameijer/street-art-grafitti/).

This mural was really stunning.

Made in December 2013, the artist is Nauni, with the help of El Super, Paratas and Zoen. 

Now, I mustn't forget my postcard:

This is bound to put a smile on your face! It is a card from Colombia and the stamps are spectacular:

And now for some funnies as it is Friday and I want to link up with Annie at A Stitch in Time.

 And I usually link up with Virginia too at Rocking Your World Friday.

I hope you all have a very good week, keep smiling!

Blessings and hugs,

Lisca
