After my first vaccination this morning, I took a bus to Ferrieras and a walk for a few km in some of the back roads. Here's few pictures. Click to see larger. The railway station. Under the wires the 1100 to Lagos waits to leave. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  Ferreiras - the town https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  A few minutes walk, some pleasant wooded countryside https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  And at the top of the hill, the quarry and cement works hard at it. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  Nearby is an abandoned quarry now used a tip. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  I spotted this tree, standing out among the normal scrub. It's a cypress tree, unusual for here. It stands in the ruined garden of what must have once been a substantial house. Hardly anything remains of the house. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  Nearby are some good examples of dry stone walling. Most of the land has long since been abandoned, but I did see signs of recent ploughing. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  And big thistle, on which you can just make out the large black bee doing what bees do. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">

| Thank you, Cubsur, for these lovely pics. I particularly like the one of the thistle with the bee, head down, taking in all that nectar and heading off to make some of that tasty honey that we love from the Algarve. 🐝🐝🙂 |

There were several of them about, around that fairly large patch of thistle. Others tell me they are busy all over. I don't know what contribution the black bees make to honey production. Perhaps someone can tell. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |
