Irises in Candanchú

 Yesterday we went to candanchú in the morning. After weeks of hot weather both in Zaragoza (unbearable) and Jaca, it was only about 8 degrees in the mountains, with a biting wind. We decided not to stay, but I did have time to take a couple of photos of the irises in full and glorious bloom on the ski slopes.

(Golden Rain Tree)

 (Jabonero de China)


 These lovely trees are in Jaca. When the flowers die, they produce little bunches of lanterns:


This is what happens when you exercise, especially when it's hot.
