February in Catalonia

Beautiful Janey. Happy memories

Lovely sight, aren't they, Janey?

We used to be able to see them flower every year about this time on the hillside in front of my parents-in-law's flat! I often took photos of them in flower! I have several photos I took around this time last year when we went over for my mother-in-law's funeral.

wow, I've never seen an almond tree in bloom like this. Thanks for posting

Really lovely. Do they give out a perfume Janey?

How gorgeous is that?

Beautiful ,I wondered about the scent as well ...

Thanks everyone! Very happy memories, they are such a sight to see as you agree Balc.
I can't say they had a strong scent...more like honey, bees loved them! X

I never got close enough to an Almond tree to smell their perfume! ? But I used to see them flowering every year in Cuenca & there was a great view of some trees growing wild amongst the rocks on the other side of the Huecar River Gorge.

I took many photos of them during the years we lived in Cuenca. Unfortunately they weren't digital photos back then & I've since lost most, if not all, the photos I took. ?

The same has happened with my photos Balc, I do love to look at a physical photograph though, not digital, it's so good to sit with an album and leaf through the pics..

? I do have some still but there are so many that have been lost over the years.

I did scan some of the photos we still had into the computer when I was first made redundant - 9 years ago now! But since then 2 computers I've had have gone West & the photos are trapped inside HDD that I can no longer access!

At that time if you didn't back up your computer regularly to CDs or DVDs & your computer died on you there was nothing you could do to get them back! Fortunately there are lots of services in the "Cloud" where you can back them up nowadays & they are also accessible on any computer, tablet or smart phone if you have an internet connection. ?
