It's Hubi! Thomas Huber..... he told us he was going away but he did not tell us where  ::)

I expect that he was as pleased to find the crocus as you were, Hans! What a pleasant companion to discover on your mountain hike  8)

Paddy thanks for the nice comment - Maggi you are right Thomas is a very pleasant companion - I think we will not have to wait to long for pictures from him here in this forum. ;D
For sure we have had a lot of good luck with the weather - last week it rained nearly every day or it was very cloudy  - and tomorrow it is to expect this mountain will be covered by snow. ::)

Many thanks for opening this thread, Hans!

And a big thank you also for taking the time and effort to bring me safe to the peak and back.
It was a really unforgettable day for me - and of course I have some photos for posting, but later!

Finally I was able to sort out some photos of my trip to Puig Massanella with Hans:

012 - Breakfast on the way to the top
026 - An old "Snowhouse". In the past the Mallorcans collected snow on the peak in winter, put it into the snowhouse and in summer
        they took it down with donkeys for cooling.
015+023 - Impressions from beneath the path

all the rest: Crocus cambessedesii

In the second picture, Thomas looks as if he's carrying bag pipes!

I rather hope he is, Jim...  for this is an excellent protection against wolves and bandits when in the mountains.... ::) :D
