\nProbably the nicest landscape photo of the week–a field of wild flowers on the way to Jijona. This is one of the reasons I enjoy cycling; had I been driving, stopping to photograph this scene would have been unsafe on this road. But on a bicycle, with a nice, wide shoulder, it was no problem:

I was playing with my old Panasonic GF1 camera and a much older Leica collapsible 50mm Summicron lens (equivalent to 100mm on this camera). It turned out to be easier than I thought to focus this lens on this particular camera, even when shooting in the most challenging conditions–wide open and at the minimum focusing distance of 1 meter. Two images of my wife to finish the week.<\/p>\n 23_20<\/strong> 23_21<\/strong> Another peaceful week of work, cycling and enjoying the beach the way I do–on the promenade, with a cold pint on the table, watching the people passing by.

\nThat afternoon I sat down for a beer on the beach paseo<\/em> in El Campello. A big part of the pleasure is to watch the other bar patrons:
\n![\"DSF4362\"](\"uploads\/2019\/23_2.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nAnd watching the human traffic:

<\/p>\n
\nHuman and canine traffic, more accurately:

<\/p>\n
\nThe beach was also populated on this nice Sunday afternoon:

\nTomatoes from the region of Murcia, just south of Alicante. I bought some, and they were delicious:

\nSometimes I take pictures from my car when driving to work in the morning (only when traffic is stopped, or stop-and-go). Here, I liked the yellow shirt against the blue sea and sky:

\nThe remodelling of our house, in which we have lived since September, is almost complete. The outside has been transformed from a traditional Spanish style to something much more modern, although still with a local look:

\nThere are some pretty flowers growing by the fence. I have no idea what they are, but I did indulge in a bit of close-up photography:

\nMy mother’s cactus and its children all gave us flowers for a couple of days during the week:

\nOn Thursday my wife came back from 2 weeks in Puerto Rico, visiting her family there. While waiting for her at the airport, I saw this scene of joyful greeting of an arriving passenger:

\nA snap from the city. A man reading a newspaper in the shade of a tree on Plaza Seneca:
