Help me to pick a word?
Canicular
Splash!
Feathered
Marine
Scenic
I think Debbie might have accused me of being too wordy this week, but I don’t mind because the lady produces incredible images, day after day. Someone else who produces very special images is Paula. I haven’t had time for Thursday’s Special – until today.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Here’s another word – Wow! These blue skies are divine. My favourite has to be the first. I love how the horizon is almost not there and that pink blush is beautiful. Happy weekend, Jo.

I can always go to my Algarve photos when I want something a bit special, Carol. I love that one for the same reasons. The haze on the water was spellbinding. 🙂 🙂

Yes, Jo, you did take me there. I do remember it fondly. 🙂
I’ve started plotting out our Portugal trip. I know Mike wants to see Lisbon and Sintra, and I want to see Porto, but we have a few more days we can fill. Of these towns, which would you recommend in the north: Coimbra, The Beiras, Obidos? Or do you have any other recommendations?

I’ve not been to Coimbra but I would love to. Obidos is small but lovely.

As always, beautiful shots, Jo. I think one might add “serene” to that first one. I had to look up Canicular and, apparently, it means small dog. Is that what you intended? Have a fantastic weekend yourself. Can’t beat the weather. 🙂

It refers to the lazy dog days of Summer, Liesbet, and the words are Paula’s choice. Just my interpretation xx

I have to pick canicular because that boat looks like just Amandla and it made me so happy to think of someday being at anchor in the waters near you. My second favorite was feathers because those birds have got it all going on. Hugs from Madagascar
