slippery wax (1)
Or more specifically, signs of Easter in Sevilla. “Wax warning” signs put up around the city along procession routes. I’ve never seen these before so I’m guessing the city has been sued due to slippery wax related accidents…

In case you don’t know, penitents carry long candles during the Semana Santa processions that drip wax (cera) along the way. For a couple of weeks after Easter shoes and car tires make squeaky noises.

gourmet market
All in all, not a bad way to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon in Sevilla. After sampling a few tasty items I also did a bit of shopping and took home some lovely spicy manzanilla olive oil and – gasp! – tuna belly in manteca. On Sunday I’m heading out to the Cádiz mountains for a monster cheese festival. What are you guys up to this weekend?

libelula
I was told today that I can’t take any more photos of my dragonfly.
So it looks like I’m just going to have to buy it!

friday foto finder, sale

fff - saleThis week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “sale”.

An appropriate theme for the last day of the winter sales that started on January 7th (aka my birthday!). It occurred to me that I didn’t buy one thing during the sales – damn. Will have to wait until July now.

Check out what other Friday Foto Finders are posting over here!
