Joe has been getting a little grumpy at walk times this last week or so. I am guessing its the sudden increase in exercise coupled with the fact there isnt a great deal of playtime. So this afternoon I treated him to some quality time on the beach instead… All the expensive toys in the world and he still loves nothing more than digging out a rock on the beach.
Toad Walk…
Nerja has had a fair amount of rain over the last day or so which, for me, is wonderful. The explosion of wildlife up by the river adds a fascinating touch to my morning walk. Finally after many attempts I have managed to get a Toad to stand still long enough to be photographed. She, and I am presuming its a she by her size etc, was a little nervous in the presense of my obnoxious little Jack Russell Terrier.
I must be the only resident of Nerja who is delighted when its rains…

Nerja Donkey Sanctuary
Here are a few of the residents of the Nerja Donkey Sanctuary, a registered charity dedicated to rescuing, caring for and protecting donkeys, mules and horses near where I live. I pass them frequently on my daily walks and have been intending to take a picture or two for my collection for a while now… They were going to be my SatScene for today but instead I opted for the sunrise…

Goodbye Giant cactii
SatScenes: Another day…
Taken as yesterday drew to a close…I enjoy my evening walks along Playa Playazo as the sun sets. Its a very romantic setting.

SatScenes: Storm Damage Playa Torrecilla
October brought the first of winter rough seas and the damage to Playa Torrecilla was fairly bad. Much of the sand near Restaurante Playa Torrecilla has been swept away by the waves revealing the rocks beneath – and taking part of a road and the path with it. Not only various beach umbrellas were dislodged but also the shower area and a palm tree…
If this is the damage from the first of the winter storms one has to wonder the state of the beach by the beginning of next holiday season…
