Monday Morning Photo - Spring in the Spanish Mountains

Spring in the Spanish mountains is usally a riot of colour, this was taken yesterday on our jaunt. We went off-roading in our ancient Suzuki 4x4 to explore more tracks which are great for running, mountain biking, photography and walking.

This is the Sierra Sur de Jaen, the mountain ranges in the south of Jaen province. In over an hour we saw one person in a vehicle otherwise nothing but beautiful scenery and olive groves. Beautiful skies and mountain views faded into the horizon, merging with almost cloudless sky. I love where I live. Fancy a holiday here? Our holiday home is available for rent and for small retreats. No wifi, no phone connection, in the house (in the hamlet, yes) no bars or shops just peace. It's difficult not to relax here.
