Isabel's Book


For my birthday, Isabel made a book using images from this blog.
It must have taken her hours.



When I look at the pictures everything comes flooding back.


Such complicated patterns.


And chickens to boot.

Season's Greetings

Half a Christmas tree drawn in the sand at Essouira by the retreating tide.

A magical forest  -- also in the sand.


The fountain dressed up for the season.


Also my study window...........

ARGAN

Two more splendid images from Judy Sidonie Tillinger. Go to her blog magpie'sbeads.blogspot.com and click on all her wonderful Moroccan pictures. 
Argan trees, whose nuts give a most wonderful oil, grow on the coast of Morocco and almost nowhere else.  The oil is used both for cooking and as a beauty aid.
Here a woman sits with a traditional basket of argan nuts.

The argan tree is rather dull and unprepossessing -- a little bit like an olive to look at but not so pretty. Goats climb the trees, eat the nuts.........they pass through the goats.........
and voila!
Magic oil.
