- More from Betancuria in Fuerteventura







Lots of chipmunks on the island, this one found a good place to sit at Costa Calma.
They are actually Barbary ground squirrels and are an invasive species, they damage the native flora and fauna. 

Flower of the Day
Another cactus in Costa Calma.

Costa Calma - I'm pleased to say that most of the rain was out at sea

Wishing you a great weekend. It's a Bank holiday weekend here in the UK so some people will not be working, pity the weather is turning cool again after some fabulously warm days.

I liked the look of this building although the smaller building in front spoils it. I don't know what it is but it was opposite the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, Sweden.



That's all from the Scandinavian cruise

I'm back from my latest holiday but not feeling on top form so I won't be hanging around today.

Enjoy your week or Easter!

Gelli Printed Daffodils
I arranged the daffodils after using them for gelli-printing.




The one above was done on a silicone mat rather than a gelli plate, think I need a bit more practice.


Other flowers with the daffs.

Photo Challenges - Stockholm, Sweden
This poor soul has a seat on the floor. It's a rag and bone sculpture highlighting the issue of homelessness.
The rowing boat is at the Vasa Museum







There are a lot of impressive buildings in Stockholm.

 I'll not be posting next week.
Enjoy your week.
