What the heck? Three zero one!
Following on from 300… widely known as the Chameleon Trail, these pine woods east of Monte Gordo are luxuriant in Bridal Bloom this year. A less well defined shot appears in my Instagram account. I much prefer this one. Debbie, meanwhile, is following the trail of history. In Six Words, of course! Have a happy Saturday!

I have just loved the examples of Bridal Bloom carpeting so many areas you’ve recently shared. I love that it grows so wild! 🙂

So sorry to hear you lost a friend. It is turning out to be that kind of year.
I am a sunny kind of girl as well, doesn’t have to be hot, quite happy with a sweater on, but need sun!

Thanks so much, darlin! 🙂 🙂 It has that fantasy element, I think? The light through the trees so soft and magical.

Wow to all of those gorgeous flowers. We too have lots of white surrounding us which sparkles beautifully in the sunshine. A bit chilly to walk in though. 🙂

I can’t in all honesty claim to be jealous, Sue. 🙂 🙂 But I know you’ll have good padded ski suits.

Love the woodland here Jo – the Bridal Bloom looks so pretty. I haven’t come across it before (or else didn’t know what it was called). Such a lovely spot for a walk – hope there are no snakes lurking in the grass! There might be here so we stay away from long grassland apart from winter!

Michael actually managed to see a Chameleon there, once, Rosemay, but fortunately no snakes. 🙂 🙂

Glad to hear that Jo! Michael did well to spot a Chameleon with all that potential camouflage! 🙂 🙂

I’m never much drawn to woods, Gilly, but the patterns of light and shade, and those glorious puffs of white were just beautiful. 🙂 🙂 Enjoy your day too, sweetheart! Another busy one here.

Yes, I could picture you there, Gunta 🙂 🙂 It’s a lovely stretch of woodland. No sign of the chameleon, but he might have had his eye on us.

This is a stunning image Jo, not the usual Portuguese blue sky and sea, but almost English in its beauty. I am so glad you are continuing so we get to see more of your new homeland. Sorry I am so late to comment but the broadband has been up and down all day. Mostly down 😨

There’s a nice dreaminess to it, isn’t there? I love these clouds of white stuff 🙂 🙂 No worries, Jude, and thank you! Sorry about the BB. Common problem, because of where you live?

The broom is a delight. Definitely not the best location for BB. And the weather seems to affect it for some bizarre reason.
