When my friends asked me what I liked about Spain the most, invariably I would answer, "the colors." You're about to find out why.

| The candy stall Barcelona market |

| Smoothies to go Barcelona market |
 |
| A flower stall along Las Ramblas, a long pedestrian thoroughfare in Barcelona |
 |

 |
| Heavy, wonderful rugs. In a little town in the Alpujurras mountains |
 |

 |
| Look closely and find a tiny frog inside this calla lilly |
 |
| Peacocks guarded the pool, |
 |

As a writer, I usually don't agree with the maxim, "A picture is worth a thousand words." But, sometimes they do say a lot!

They are absolutely beautiful, Carol. I have never been to Spain so thank you for the colorful tour! My favorite part of Dublin, Ireland was the colors of the doors on homes. Whenever I think of Ireland I think of color and now I will think of Spain in the same way.
Thanks, Jane. Glad you enjoyed the pictures! If I make it to Dublin, I'll be sure and take pictures of the doors!
Lovely little tour. Also have never been to Spain. I just know it's amazing!
Wow....didn't know you were a photographer, too! Loved the peacocks at the pool and all the beautiful colors.
Beautiful photos. I'm sure you're jotting down book ideas.
Thanks so much Carol. A new way to think of Spain. It's not just bulls. :)

I'm not a photographer-- Just figure my pictures are my best (& cheapest!) souvenirs. Loved your comment about the bulls,LInda. ANd I wish I could say this is generating a book idea, but it didn't. ALthough I did enjoy journaling while there!
