mosaic road

My favourite birds !

I am always enthralled when I see the storks nesting in the Medina in Marrakech. They co habit with the noise and mayhem quite happily it seems. I do worry that one of those nests below has been poorly constructed ( a bit of a fly by night job haha) and looks like it’s on quite a precipice . Rambunctious babies or a strong wind could see it toppling pell mell into the street chaos below. When that particular family returns next year, I daresay some renovation or even relocation will be on the cards !

When your collar matches your fur !

A camel fact....they can sleep standing up as well as lying down !

When you have a “bad mane day “ !

Why ?

Here is the very chicken caught in the act ! I should have stopped and asked the age old riddle ‘why did the chicken cross the road’. I may have got a reasonable answer so we could retire that endlessly asked question.

Mountains and Mules

The mighty and majestic Atlas here dwarf the travelling mule trekkers I could just see in the distance. Man and beast are pretty well blended into the rugged stony background as they seemingly inch along. When I see this crazy scale of man to mountain, then I truly must acknowledge that nature is a vast force to be reckoned with .

Farm life

Plough pulled by donkeys in the Atlas Mountains ....ancient farming techniques still used today...like time stood still. Travel with me and you will see astounding sights #moroccobespoke

From the Bus Window

This is not a good photo, it didn’t have a chance as it was taken from a moving bus...but if you zoom in to that skinny swing bridge you will see a flock of something crossing ie. goats or sheep. That’s quite a remarkable sight, a first for me even though I have travelled extensively through rural Morocco . I would wish we could have slowed or stopped for more photos...hopefully there will be a ‘next time’ !!

Cheep Cheep

After today, I think that the saying “never work with children or animals” needs to be amended to include poultry...these really cute and really tiny babies moved really fast...they were speeding through the mud trying to stay close to the mother who was hell bent on giving them the slip !

Wild waves and nonchalant cats today in Essaouira
