A Postcard A Day - Friday 11 May 2018 Friday Smiles - nature photos and some yumminess

Good morning! I have been retired for several years now, but I still wake up on Friday thinking: It's nearly weekend!

Let me show you some postcards from my collection that i have sent this week. 

The first one is a strange fantasy image "Ixtlan Airlines" by a Russian artist called Alex Andreev. 

The next one will make your mouth water! It is from the same Russian source where I buy my postcards. 

Lovely chocolate! These two postcards are on their way to Germany and Belarus.

Remember i told you that I went to a macro photography workshop in the mountains. Well in the afternoon we went for a walk and I spotted trees that I thought were diseased:

But someone told me those are the holes that the woodpeckers make. There were many trees like that.
I do love old trees and this gnarled specimen got my attention:

There were large bushes of rosemary, some of them came to my shoulder (admittedly I am 5 ft nothing, but nevertheless, that is a large bush)

Many were flowering:

I think the yellow bush is gorse:

There was an abandoned hamlet, with houses without roofs. That is interesting as I could see the floor plan of the house from above. (They are so tiny!)

There are still traces of blue paint they used to paint their houses with.

Now here are a funny, a cake for Annie and something to think about (Not necessarily in that order):

OK, I'm going to visit Annie at A Stitch In Time and Virginia at Rocking Your Week Friday. Why don't you come and visit too with something that made you smile this week!

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend,
Keep smiling,
Hugs,
Lisca
