.....at Puerto Olympico Marina in Barcelona.
For those interested the good ship Isa Lei is the 11th boat from the left.
During August my thoughts on where to berth Isa Lei for the winter months came to the forefront of my mind as I wanted a safe, sheltered, convenient and comfortable place to carry out her winter maintenance programme and to have easy access to air travel back to the UK.
As I was planning to live aboard for much of the time I also wanted a vibrant place with lots of culture, history and plenty of things to do.
Barcelona fitted the bill perfectly being the 6th most populous city in Europe and the largest metropolis and port on the Mediterranean with great road, rail and air links to the rest of Europe...........and, at the moment, some very 'interesting' politics.
Having been here for 6 weeks, so far it's been a great place to stay.....friendly fashionable inhabitants, amazing architecture both ancient and modern and a huge number of galleries, museums, music events, cafes, shops and everything else a large city can offer. It is also very bicycle friendly with cycle lanes galore, so I've felt very safe cycling around this bustling metropolis........
I'm planning to keep Isa Lei here, subject to the usual caveats of civil unrest, revolution, war and acts of God, until early March when I shall resume my grand tour of the Mediterranean.

July 2013.
Almost a year after the photo was taken, it became a dear memory. Not that there was anything particular happening, I only love the memory of the sun and the somehow decadent heat.
This female evening grosbeak is not quite striking as her male counterpart but she still cuts a fine figure on a chilly morning in rural New Brunswick.
Do you know how TWITCHY I get when I have SOOC photos!!!!
Only did the bare minimum of cropping as well why it ended up as a huge file! Didn't even think it would turn out either because I was shooting directly into the sun.
I was actually listening to the blackbird singing in the tree before I realised how pretty it looked with the sun glinting off the new growth.
What would we do without nature!!!
EXPLORED #477 8TH NOVEMBER
Evening is unreal
When morning leaves the moon
Approaching most in tears
He dances draped and new
Armed with many warnings
We face the ancient mold
If God and battles over
Just one of many roads
Forgotten dream
Peace will come and with it sleep
I clear my mind...

Gladhouse Reservoirs main Island reflected in the still water during the evening.
Gladhouse is the largest area of fresh water in the Lothians & is a good circular walking route not far from home.
Some Poppy fun at Gladdy...
Evening is falling as a JS has left the loading area a little way behind and is beginning it's journey out of the large pit with it's load of coal.
Took a short ride in the country last evening after supper. It will be prettier in a few weeks when the trees get leaves but still nice to take the ride.
