The Colors of Spain

Children's shoes
Ovideo

The candy stall
Barcelona market

Smoothies to go
Barcelona market


A flower stall along Las Ramblas, a long pedestrian thoroughfare in Barcelona

A cold, black night looking out over Barcelona
with my daughters, Lisa and Lori
One of the many tile walls in the

Lisa showing a typical

Flamenco shoes for young and old
the market in Granada

Tile work
Alhambra, Granada
800-year-old Moorish castle

Looking out a window
at the Alhambra

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

Black olives, flung down

inside this calla lilly

Peacocks guarded the pool,

The Mediterranean meets the Atlantic
at the southernmost tip of Europe,
Tariffa

Paella!

Flowers cascading
in Tariffa

Zucchini, ground almonds & chunks of parmesan.
Exquisite
