Be careful! Too many cars! You don’t need any accidents either.

Cool birds.
Perhaps hairbells? South African, but we see lots of out of place escaped flowers.

From Wikipedia: An hórreo is a typical granary from the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, built in wood or stone, raised from the ground (to keep rodents out) by pillars ending in flat staddle stones to prevent access by rodents. Ventilation is allowed by the slits in its walls.
The article doesn’t state if they’re sometimes used for storing Oreo cookies, but it sounds like they could be.
Great tits!

1 year agoWow!! Love those trumpet pipes
1 year agoOK, not so much lost as needing to use up more time looking things up. We see you as our sort of research assistant, unpaid but much appreciated.
1 year agoLost if I don't know? Ummmmm. I don't really know much. I mostly search the internet looking for matching photos. And I almost immediately forget things I look up!
You have a lot more confidence in me than I do!
Oh dear, we are lost if you don't know. Although you did give some useful clues, maybe there is still hope. Any keen gardeners out there?
1 year agoWell, they have 6 petals, long, flat leaves, which points to lilies...
They have multiple flowers on a stalk like gladiolus, but the blooms are radially symmetrical like regular lilies, which are bilaterally symmetrical. Wikipedia lacked anything that fit all those attributes.
I found no good photo matches either.
The sidewalks in many towns are black and white cobbles (pavers) with intricate repeating patterns. Truly beautiful, seems almost like walking on a stone carpet.

No kidding! We have taken to obssessively comparing routes, looking for the lowest traffic option. We would rather ride on cobbles or walk up hills or poke sharpened sticks under our fingernails than ride on narrow roads with the crazy cars, trucks and buses.
