Atlantic garden
This is a lush oasis grown on the rich volcanic soil of São Miguel island in Portugal’s Mid-Atlantic Azores archipelago.
Terra Nostra has curious caramel-coloured hot springs to bathe in, but I chose to tour the flower-filled botanical gardens with my camera.
There was every colour of hydrangea – abundant all over the islands – and stunning flowers only enhanced by a sub-tropical shower.
All the colours you could think of, and all in one place! Lovely imagery, Mike! I’d have delved into the springs as well, though! :)

Thanks Richard, it was a lovely place. The ducks were the same colour as the spring water 🦆

Hey Lee, lovely to hear from you, I hope you’re well. Back in Manchester now where we’ve reverted to cool rainy conditions. Where is next on your travel agenda? I’ll be doing a lot more to-ing and fro-ing soon…

Cook and rain – I’ve been hearing from Ozzies over in UK how hot it’s been and that they should have taken their shorts!
