Heyjude

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

  1. It’s been so long since I came walk around La Boquería.
    Very lively place full of colour and life!

  2. Perfect choice taking us to a warmer climate. I hope your whole year will be wholesome, Jude. I have enjoyed your colourful captures.

  3. I love wandering in markets feasting my eyes on all the color and dreaming of the food I might cook. Fabulous photography. Love the sharp contrast of colors. 🙂

      1. Oh yes, you should!
        Funny story, when we took our girls to England in 1999 they were 9 and 12. One day we had a big driving day, and we stopped at a Little Chef for a meal. The children’s meals included free lollies. The girls thought that was good, but they didn’t get what they expected. They weren’t disappointed though!

  5. Utterly juicy colours ! Lovely photos .
    You’re right Jude , they’re so creative with their displays one hardly likes to disturb such arrangments 🙂
    Is there a Fish market here ? It was amazing , but I’m not sure if it is in the same place . I have a distinct memory of a senior lady selling and dealing with the fish in her bloodied white pinny and huge knife 🙂
