Another favorite activity of mine in Spain is going to the markets. This is the Mercado de Atarazanas in Malaga. It's always a lovely and interesting scene.

Random shot of a walkway in the historic Albaicin neighborhood, Granada, Spain. The stones come from two different area rivers, which is why they are different colors.

One of my favorite things about Spain is going to flamenco shows. Tonight I attended a show in Granada, in a cave in the Sacromonte neighborhood. The guitarist was great, as were the dancers.

I took a trip along the north shore of Lake Superior this weekend. The Canadian side of the lake is spectacular!

There's a lot of wildflowers in bloom right now. As beautiful as some of these flowers are, sadly, some of them are introduced species that have become invasive. From today's walk near my home...

I am loving watching my hanging basket fill out in dazzling color! I bought this at a local family-run nursery in my town. They do beautiful work and these baskets have moss, lichen and pieces of birch bark surrounding the planter, giving it a great natural look. I'll be back next year!

This is the first time in the nearly 3 years that I've lived here that I've seen a sailboat on my lake. It's s perfect day for it. Sunny skies, light breezes and temps in the upper 70s. Who could ask for more?
