First blooms of these just opened this week. I new you would all want to see them. Rather fascinating flower really. They are Wildflowers that my wife swt snookie found 10 years or so ago at a plant/garage sale that have now naturalized in several areas of our yard! This patch of them is just below the Old Fish/Youngsters pond where Neelix has retired !

Yesterday, I didn't see one single bee, there were a few about this afternoon so I made the most of them.
Vilanova i la Geltrú, Barcelona (Spain).
Another version of Els Josepets, inspired by Raquel Méndez, who was mistaken when giving an invitation to the group Macromanía to my previous photo of this convent.

ENGLISH
The Carmelite convent dels Dolors, also known as “els Josepets” were founded on 1735 thanks to a legacy of Mr. Ramon de Sambassar. While it was in construction, from that date to 1738, the monks lodged themselves in houses of la Geltrú. The church did not finish until 1784.
In 1835 the community left the convent, because the events of Barcelona, and the church underwent the destruction of its furniture. The place was destined to barracks. The Carmelite ones no longer returned never to the convent, and in 1847 the authorization was requested to transfer the hospital. In 1853 the hospital passed to occupy the conventual building, although the church returned to reopen to the cult.
During years 40 and 50 of 20th century it was parochial church while the church of Sant Antoni Abad was recovered. At the moment their dependencies are occupied by a hospital.

El convento carmelita dels Dolors, también conocido como "els Josepets" fue fundado en 1735 gracias a un legado del Sr. Ramon de Sambassar. Mientras estaba en construcción, desde aquella fecha hasta 1738, los religiosos se albergaron en unas casas de la Geltrú. La iglesia no se acabó hasta 1784.
En 1835 la comunidad abandonó el convento, raíz de los acontecimientos de Barcelona, y la iglesia sufrió la destrucción de su mobiliario. El lugar fue destinado seguidamente a cuartel. Los carmelitas ya no retornaron jamás al convento, y en 1847 se pidió la autorización para traspasar el hospital. En 1853 el hospital pasó a ocupar el edificio conventual, aunque la iglesia volvió a reabrirse al culto.
Durante los años 40 y 50 del siglo XX fue iglesia parroquial mientras se restauraba la iglesia de Sant Antoni Abad. Actualmente sus dependencias están ocupadas por un hospital.

Week 5 Theme: Macro Mania
Found this little bee having a rest on an old log covered in moss. She's really well camouflaged and I nearly missed her. After a while she'd obviously rested and warmed up and flew off to continue her journey.
Have a wonderful day friends!!!!!!
Flickr is giving me big problems today hope it gets fixed!! Hardly can log on!!!!
Some experiments with my new 100mm macro lens wide open turn out well - others are immediately deleted. I thought the extremely limited focus as well as the colorful bokeh in this one was interesting, so it made the cut...
I wanted to be all philosophical about this image, but instead, I will let the photo speak for itself...
(additional news: This was voted to 1st place for the Jan 2009 contest @ Planet Earth Flowers! Whoo Hoo!! My first win on a flickr contest! Thanks!)
Ugh! It's snowing AGAIN here.
Hope it's sunny where you are!
Thanks for stopping by and having a look or leaving a comment. I appreciate and look forward to every one!!
Have a great day!

Week 5 Theme: Macro Mania
Merlin was very patient while I tried to get some macro shots of him. I think it's the least he could do after 'helping' me the other day by head-butting my tripod.
Now to give him some of his favourite biscuits as a reward.
ODC-Macro Mania (Card)
Since I'm such a fan of mushrooms I had to buy these informative cards. Each card in the deck of 52 has a different mushroom on it. I got them at my local market. I love things with illustrations on them. I chose this one because it was the most colourful one in the box.
