Spanning a river and several challenges
When Ann Christine suggests we Pick a Word on the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge, I’m tempted. But when Paula offers another five on Thursday’s Special… what’s a woman to do? Give in, graciously!
Several bridges Span the river in Tavira, including Ponte Romana, a Roman bridge that isn’t; an uninspiring but very functional road bridge that soars across the water, and a small scale model of the same, nearing completion, to replace the former dilapidated Military Bridge. Construction of the latter has certainly been a challenge!
One of my favourite things is sailing out of this river to the Ilha beyond. Exuberant water fizzes and gurgles as it washes surfers and fishermen alike. So often flat calm, I love the sight and sound of leaping waves.
Two out of ten will do for now, don’t you think? And far too many words for Six Word Saturday! Have a good one, everybody!
Very clever Jo, to cover several challenges in one post. Lovely photos – gorgeous blue skies and blue water.
We might just have a rainy day next week, Carol. I can’t remember our last grey sky! 🙂 🙂 I probably shouldn’t say that!

I recognize a common theme of… water. And, blue of course. 🙂 Hope you had a fabulous weekend, Jo!
The river winds out through the marshes to the Ilha, Liesbet. I’m often surrounded by water 🙂 🙂 It’s been good, thanks!
Wow … another beautiful setting that looks delightful. Difficult place to live, glad you are up to the challenge.
The riverside in ‘my little town’, Frank. And yes, we did choose rather well 🙂 🙂
Well done!
Jo, I have good memories of our time in Tavira. You live in such a beautiful place.
We do, Gilda, and I have an incredibly busy week ahead enjoying it too. Now I need to find time to write tomorrow’s walk 🙂 🙂
Everything is just fantastic.
It’s a lovely place, Rupali. I’m very lucky 🙂 🙂
Stay blessed Jo.
Thank you! 🙂 🙂
Glad to see that bright blue Portuguese sky again Jo!
It’s never far away, Denzil 🤗💕💕
Lovely bridge spans and ex(span)sive skies make me feel as exuberant as that water.
Oh, well done you! Hope it’s been a blissful weekend 🤗💕
It was, thank you.
Looks gorgeous Jo – look at the brilliant blue skies the hue is amazing! 🙂 🙂
Blue in all it’s shades is permanent at the minute, Rosemay. On our way out for a leisurely stroll and Sunday lunch 🤗💕
Sounds perfect Jo – hope you enjoyed your stroll and lunch yesterday 🙂 🙂
Jo I am completely taken with the photo of the river with the fence line jutting out. Fabulous lines. Happy weekend. Guess what? Snow in our forecast! Just a temporary weather front. 🙂
Oh-my-word, Sue! How can I even imagine that when we reach 30C every day here at present? 🙂 🙂 Thanks, hon! Still pottering around admiring Tavira from all angles.
Looks beautiful. How often have you sailed on the river? That would be really lovely.
Very often, Rebecca, especially in summer. We have a number of choices for getting to the offshore islands and this is a favourite. 🙂 🙂
That’s wonderful. I’ve found sailing exciting the few times I’ve gone. Glad you are able to go so often. Seems like one of those magical activities that makes life worthwhile.
Excellent combo Jo – and definitely exuberant. Honored we made the cut 😀
I had exuberant in my head all week, Tina- it’s a great word! But then Paula pushed me over the edge 🙂 🙂
Oh, those blues!! Hope you’re having a great weekend, Jo.

A fairly peaceful one, Janet. T’ai chi, a good book, walk a little, watch a bit of US tennis… 🙂 🙂 Saving myself for next week, which promises to be hectic.
Peaceful is good.
