De Brazza’s monkey at the Barcelona zoo. The white beard, busy eyebrows and the general demeanour made for an interesting photo!
On that particular day in Barcelona at the zoo, there were a few proud peacocks (Pavo cristatus) strutting their stuff to very disinterested peahens! Growing up in India, the peacock was a relatively common sight, and their plaintive calls at sunset time during summers usually heralded possible rain!
Details of carvings on one of the gigantic doors on the passion facade of that Antoni Gaudi classic – La Sagrada Familia. The carvings portray different stories from the bible. This structure has been under construction since the 1880. More fantastic pictures from this basilica to follow soon!
As promised, a picture of the red anemone flowering at home and complimenting the blue anemome that I posted previously.

Surely nothing heralds more the coming of Spring than these cheerful daffodils. This variety is new to my garden and I’ve been so looking forward to them flowering!
I also have a bright red anemone flowering at the moment in my garden (pictures follow soon!). I have eliminated the background to better focus on this flower using Adobe Lightroom.
