Las singularidades climáticas que se dan en las Azores han servido para que las plantaciones de té en São Miguel sean uno de los atractivos turísticos que visitar en la isla.
De hecho, la peculiaridad es que São Miguel es el único lugar de Europa donde se cultiva esta planta foránea que tanto se consume en el mundo.
Históricamente el té ha sido motivo de conflictos pero también de pequeños placeres. Su consumo se origina en algún lugar de China hace miles de años pero no es hasta el siglo XVII cuando, con el comienzo las grandes exploraciones marítimas, comienza su expansión por Oriente y Europa.
Vasco da Gama fue quien abrió las rutas comerciales que facilitaron la entrada en Europa (y Portugal) de esta planta aromática. Desde ahí pasan algunos siglos hasta que llegan a São Miguel primero como planta ornamental y después como un cultivo extensivo aprovechando el buen clima de la isla.
La fábrica familiar de té de Porto Formoso es un lugar muy tranquilo que transmite mucha paz y es imprescindible tomar un té con miel y unas pastas y sentarse en la terraza tranquilamente mientras observas las vistas a los campos, al mar y a las hortensias.
For Macro Mondays' #drips, drops and splashes theme
It's been a while since I've been here, but this really tapped into something I've wanted to try for ages. (And luckily it corresponded with the family all going off on scout camp and leaving me to my own devices for a few days....)
The background is a colouring-in sheet I completed years ago; even back then I appear to have been quite keen on rainbows!
The image is just over 2inches across.
I'm pretty certain there is no requirement to have motion for this theme, but I'm conscious this is a little different from others in the pool. It's definitely drops, though, and definitely under 3inches across, so hoping it fits.

This is the cotton field behind my house in Florence AZ last year. It's now been sold to Grinder's to build a sports center.
Red Fox
The Red Fox, Vulpes vulpes, is the largest of the true foxes and the most abundant wild member of the Carnivora, being present across the entire Northern Hemisphere from the Arctic Circle to North Africa, North America and Eurasia. It is listed as least concern by the IUCN. Its range has increased alongside human expansion, having been introduced to Australia, where it is considered harmful to native mammals and bird populations. Due to its presence in Australia, it is included among the list of the "world's 100 worst invasive species".

A fantastic morning a few days ago. The inversion was nice but the cloud rolled in and gave some gorgeous first light looking towards loch Lubnaig.
En estos tiempos no es fácil hablar de una especie que esté en expansión, pero curiosamente es el caso de la Curruca cabecinegra ( Sylvia melanocephala). Su reino, el matorral mediterráneo, cada vez ocupa más extensión, quizá por el abandono de muchas zonas de campo. En la fotografía un macho en Sierra Morena.
In these times it is not easy to speak of a species that is expanding, but curiously it is the case of the Sardinian Warbler (Sylvia melanocephala). His kingdom, the Mediterranean scrub, occupies more and more extension, perhaps due to the abandonment of many areas of the countryside. In the photograph a male in Sierra Morena. SW Spain

The engineer notches out four-month-old Susquehanna B40-8 4002 as it approaches BD interlocking in Binghamton, New York. The Susquehanna’s rapid traffic growth in the mid-1980’s had it looking for power wherever it was available, including leasing the trailing ex-BN F45 from National Railway Leasing. The GE became Providence & Worcester 4004.

I've photographed this rock formation once before and am very much in love with the photo from that time last year.
This past weekend, I photographed it again.
While both are with the same lens and camera, as well as the same film, both are quite different.
I mean, the photos are composed almost exactly the same, and even the light was similar. But things are different enough to make me want to shoot it again. Just to see.
I took several shots of it last weekend. This is my favorite of the bunch.
The formation has no official name, but I have been calling it Pillbox Rock as that is about its size.
