FUERTAVENTURA SPRING 2007

A little late I know but I have only recently begun to sort the wheat from the chaff from a weeks holiday taken in Fuertaventura during spring 2007. The images represent a cross-section of photographs taken on the beaches, in the beautiful cactus gardens, in the zoo and on an offshore island and feature landscapes, plants, creatures and an occasional abstract. I would greatly appreciate reaction in the form of your favourite three images if possible (votes by personal e-mail to free up this wonderful forum please)? As there are at least sixty images then it will take a while to upload them...please be patient....especially those of you who cannot access by Broadband....my humble apologies...perhaps you will have to be selective or give this subject a very wide berth?

Award yourself a cup of tea and a bun, Cliff, while we cogitate.....with such diverse subjects, a choice of three will be tricky...we'll let you know!

Be very careful Maggi....cogitating without a safety net is not strictly PC!!

Not exactly alpines Cliff - but another great series all the same !
What a diversity in cacti and what stupendous quality of the photographs !!!
And I who thought you spent Spring in the States .... did you have two springs this year
I'll be back with my favourites later on - in the mean time, my deepest sympathy with what remains of your fingertip skin.

Another most interesting thread Cliff, thank you very much. I don't know about a cup of tea, i would have awarded you something much stronger
