So, the nests have been built (lots of rain this spring = plenty of good mud), the eggs laid and sat on, the babies hatched followed by the long, long days of catching enough insects to feed them all. These last few mornings they all gather on the wires crossing the street, getting psyched up for the exhausting day ahead. And here they are.
Here's a curious thing. The cats that live in Ca'n Toni, where I buy animal food and supplies, have come in off the street because they know a good thing when they see one. They live like kings in there, helping themselves from the sacks of cat biscuits lined up so temptingly. And when they've eaten enough, it's time for a little snooze. And here's where they do their R&R.
They know they should at least appear to be earning their keep, so they 'look after the shop' while they rest.
They lie there carefully, making sure they don't squash anyone, and they all seem to get on very well.
They all seem quite happy and unconcerned.
Well, it's YellowFlower time. I love YellowFlower time. I just love those trees. But how odd the (ex) car park looks without any cars. Forlorn? Abandoned? Happier?
Maybe. It's a secret deserted corner now, and people passing on the streets either side would never suspect this wonderful place hides behind the buildings that wall it in. But I used to love having my car completely covered with a confetti-layer of yellow flowers. Not as thick as this, maybe, but a good sprinkling.
(Remember how we used them to decorate the houses you had to make for Plástica?)
So here they stand, these lovely trees, unnoticed and unappreciated, blooming and shedding their flowers in this quiet sunny spot.
I don't even want to contemplate the possibility that the first step towards building the projected park might be to chop down all these nasty messy trees and replace them with something plastic or metal, in line with what they've done in all the other parks.

1. i love the estorninos lined up on the wiring. but i guess the car looked indeed nicer with a sprinklng of yellow flowers than of their poohs!!
2. the first photo of the cat and the mice is really clever,
because it looks like it is staring at them through the glass (which i thought must be very stressing to the mice!) and if you notice, just behind, ther's a sack of dog biscuits on which there's a picture of a dog leaping with its mouth open; so it's the dog chasing the cat chasing the mice!!
but then i saw it is just being austen like, cuddling up to a growling boli!! but they look all very happy, how very odd!! on the second photo you can read "sensible" on the sack, which fits the image far better!!
3. how beautifull the trees and indeed how terrible to think they might move them. i think they must be obligados to replant them though, even if it's somewhere else.
nice pics, as always.
