Bought a new camera for my hols (Olympus S550) so here are some of my efforts taken in the garden where we stay

One of the Peach trees, Peaches not ready yet

OH fixing the garage door with his big pink head on ;D

The green lemon at the bottom is the standard size we get in the UK, that top one is HUGE

Some wildlife

Some flowers

Have some photos from days out too, I'll post them when I have sorted them all out. I took over 500

so bare with me

Boa tarde CPC, we stay in a very small village. If you know Portugal it is just inland between Villamoura on the coast and Loule inland, it's not commercialised at all and we love it.

Where have you been in Portugal Sara, we have been going twice a year for 13yrs now to the same place.

The weather was good Plocket had one night when it rained heavy and it was cloudy the next day

DB the camera is fab but taking some getting used to, still not read the manual yet.

Hate to say it GH but we chopped loads off that Bougainvillea, it was going daft over the garage.

Dutchy OH got his normal head back the grumpy one ;D

Well, for all those who asked to see more here you are

Some more from the gdn

Banana

Shadows on the wall

Morning Glory

Close up of an Iris

Lemon scented Geranium

Geranium

Osteo thingymgig (can'tspellitsmiley)

Wild flowers etc on the road side

Think this is called a Jewel weed

On our travels

Eucalyptus Trees

A Roman Ruin we visited

I got a thing about roof tops

In the grounds of Estoi Palace

This lamp in the palace grounds really did look wonky

Misc

Portugal on the left Spain on the right
