Oh, those. I hope we see some again. We’ve hardly seen any so it didn’t seem worth the bother. I’ll keep an eye out though and maybe we’ll get lucky.

Oh, video! I’d forgotten that was a thing. I could have used my phone, I guess. Everyone will be much happier when Rachael gets her GoPro operational next week.

That’s a concern, definitely. We try to keep our distance, but I’m sure these strong winds blow the carcinogens our way.

Watch out! According to DJT, wind turbines cause cancer! 😊

What are the blue flowers? Can we get a close-up next time you ride by some? What a gorgeous, vivid blue!

The tall guy is a giant fennel, Ferula communis. The daisy-like ones used to be considered a chrysanthemum, but are now classified Glebionis coronarium. Apparently the ancients made them into crowns, hence the "coronarium".

Oxalis stricta, or common woodsorrel.

Isn't that called video?

This was a great meal, alright. Four days later, it still holds top rung on the leaderboard. And it’s good to hear we have something to look forward to when we return to Andalusia at the end of the year. You two should head down there again this winter - we could meet up and share a meal!

Reminds me of the fantastic tuna on the Andalusian coast where we were staying.

Doesn’t it look great? I’m pretty sure our Bike Fridays or Rodriguez would bear up better on these rough roads though.

Gorgeous Bianchi! I want one, and also want to be the person who could ride it.

Looks like a fine beginning to your meal - buon appetito!

It looked like vetch to me also, but on steroids. They’re large enough that they remind me of lupines.

These are related to the wild vetch we see in Oregon. Sulla (Hedysarum coronarium).
