This week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “crane”…
Unlike Spanish storks or flamingos, the crane is a more elusive bird that is usually spotted within city limits. Here we see a male crane (the more brightly coloured of the species) peering above the nests of others, possibly in search of a mate, or perhaps just warming its long frame in the warm midday sun.

This week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “rose”…
Roses aren’t as common as other flowers here: orange blossom, bougainvillea, jacaranda, jasmine, carnations, geraniums… so it’s curious that during the Corpus Christi procession the route near the large altar is strewn with rosemary and rose petals.

This week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “books”…
After searching and searching for a new apartment (after having been unceremoniously thrown out of my home of 17 years by unscrupulous landlord) I was beginning to despair. Then I saw this place and the “selling” point for me was that it had these fab built-in bookshelves in the upstairs room and another wall of shelves at the far end… so my books could also have a new home. Now I need to get back into the habit of reading BOOKS and not just my iPhone.

This week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “favourite foto”…
So yeah, I know most of you have seen this one before. Choosing a favourite photo turned out to be difficult when I thought about my thousands of photos and what would make them a favourite. Most of my favourite shots were total flukes, like some of the stunning flamenco ones, a spectacular moment at sunrise, or a candid street scene. But then I remembered this photo of Azar, the love of my life, which was also taken just by chance (por azar) after waking up one morning to find him on the headboard looking down at me. I carry this photo with me as my screenlock on the iPhone, so I see it several times a day. It helps, I think, to see his beautiful face. Because I still miss him every single day.

This week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “bread”…
Spanish bread almost never looks like this. Artisanal loaves from a neighbourhood bakery.
