I got back from Brussels at the beginning of March, and on the way to school I could see that within the space of a week, the season had begun to turn. Before I left there was practically no life to be seen, but now, the almond trees that had been nothing but bare and twiggy since I arrived, were covered in blossoms. The colours were amazing. The ever blue sky with the dusty pink blossoms and tawny sandy earth was not a colour palette I had ever seen, and it was beautiful. I knew this would only last a matter of weeks so after our big staff lunch one Monday, I took my disposable camera down the road from school to this ancient almond grove and took these. In the second photo down you can see the Peñas which is the big rock, at the foot of which my school is nestled. Now, 5 or 6 weeks later, these colours have been replaced with green, which seems like a miracle.
