White hibiscus

#GranCanaria #Flowers #Hibiscus #Spring #Gardening #HomeGardening #FlowersOfMastodon #FlowersOfPixelfed

This lazy bum hibiscus has been "hibernating" for a good few months and, all of a sudden, earlier on this week the explosion of white flowers has just gone bonkers! At one point in time, for a single plant, I counted about 8 flowers altogether! Like, O M G !!! 😳 Loving it though, it's one of the crown's jewels from the terrace parterre. Spring is *finally* here! 😍👍🏻 heh

Happy Canaries Day!

#Canarias #Canariedad #GranCanaria #Maspalomas #Landscapes #Nature #Dunes #Beaches #QueSuerteVivirAqui #LatitudDeVida

Today is Happy Canary Islands Day! 🇮🇨☀️🌴🍹😎👍🏻🇮🇨 A day in which The Canaries celebrate their own identity. It's the only autonomous region in Spain that has got such condition and, as such, is unique on its own. They call it #Canariedad.

A feeling like no other, they would tell you those who are either born or live here. You just have to experience it yourself to understand what they meant with it. I have been living in Gran Canaria now for over 21 years and I still find it tough to describe what it is like, so better give you a glimpse of what it means to me: a paradise on earth constantly marvelling at different landmarks like the golden sand dunes of Maspalomas on a clear blue sky day watching the ocean waves hitting the beach in the horizon and a stairway hinting access to paradise for a day at the beach and more!

¡¡Feliz Día de Canarias, gente!! 🇮🇨☀️🌴🍹😎👍🏻🇮🇨

A special remembrance day

#GranCanaria #Flowers #Roses #Spring #Gardening #HomeGardening #QueSuerteVivirAqui #LatitudDeVida

Today is a rather special remembrance day. Nothing more to add that the world needs to know other than the many fond memories from over the years still lingering around vividly in my mind. To honour that, here's a red rose in full bloom from the terrace parterre 🌹😍👍🏻

A "balcony" with a view

#GranCanaria #Maspalomas #Landscapes #Nature #Dunes #Beaches #QueSuerteVivirAqui #LatitudDeVida

A "balcony" with a view, and what a view! 🥰👍🏻 It's not really a balcony though, but more of a fence that separates the golden sand dunes of Maspalomas from the boulevard people can stroll on a relative long distance. This is perhaps one of my favourite stops / views as it provides a minimalist view of the sand dunes, the blue ocean and the clear blue sky. No more distractions than your own thoughts marvelling at the landscape 🙌🏻😍🙌🏻

Passion fruit

#GranCanaria #PassionFruit #PassifloraEdulis #Spring #Primavera #Nature #FlowersOfMastodon

I think I am going to start collecting and sharing snap shots of flowers and plants I bump into while doing my daily workout exercise routines, because, my goodness!, it's getting out of control at this point! 😳

Like this time around, for the first time ever, a passion fruit (i.e. Passiflora Edulis) in full bloom trespassing someone's garden into the street, I just had to stop and try to capture this beauty 😍👍🏻

So, shall I go for #FlowersInPlaya or #FlowersInGC then? 😎👍🏻

Hiking in Caldera de Bandama

#GranCanaria #Bandama #CalderaDeBandama #Winter #Hiking #Senderismo #Mountains #Landscapes #Nature #QueSuerteVivirAqui #LatitudDeVida

Splendid winter day with blue skies all around and a balmy 23C to go for a hike to one of the most emblematic spots in the island: Caldera de Bandama. An extinct volcano showing its full glory on the left side of the snap shot while, on the right, you can see the oldest golf course from Spain: Real Club de Golf de Las Palmas, founded by Mackenzie Ross in 1891 😳. Gotta love the lush of green and the different shades of colours😍👍🏻

Daisies running wild!

#GranCanaria #Daisies #Margaritas #Spring #Primavera #Nature #FlowersOfMastodon

Daisies (Both white and pink colours) running wild in the terrace parterre, next to an ever growing mother-in-law's tongue in the back, a giant jade plant on the right and a white hibiscus on the left side of the snap shot. Yeah, you could say that, a bit of a small ecosystem in the household 👌🏻😍

Lantanas galore!

#GranCanaria #Lantanas #Spring #Primavera #Nature #FlowersOfMastodon

Before you ask, not my garden, although I wish! 😜 It's the front entrance from a hotel in Playa del Inglés with an exuberance of flowers all around during this time of the year. In this case, lantanas galore with different shapes and colours in one of the parterres, inviting guests in a feast for the eyes 😍👍🏻

Hiking up in Ayacata

#GranCanaria #Ayacata #Winter #Hiking #Senderismo #Mountains #Landscapes #Nature #QueSuerteVivirAqui #LatitudDeVida

It's been a good couple of years since I was last in Ayacata. I miss it. It's one of my favourite hikes inland with some of the most spectacular landscapes you can see in the island. Several majestic mountains watching over the scene in the horizon, with a (tiny) road on the right side of the snap shot and several houses hanging in there as if they are about to be swallowed by the impressive peaks. Lots of pine trees, agaves, and other bushes all exhibiting a green lush that's definitely a treat to all senses. I must come back soon! 😍👍🏻

Meloneras sunset

#GranCanaria #Meloneras #Sunset #Coastline #Landscapes #Nature #QueSuerteVivirAqui #LatitudDeVida

Gran Canaria, Meloneras, one of my favourite sunsets in the south of the island. Walking along the coastline, watching the gentle waves hitting the rocks with different shades of blue, the odd clouds scattered around and the amplitude of seeing a number of small boats in the horizon docked in for the day. Soothing and calming in equal measure 🥰🥰🥰

The view

#GranCanaria #Maspalomas #UrbanLandscapes #Landscapes #Perspectives #Dunes #Beaches #QueSuerteVivirAqui #LatitudDeVida

Gran Canaria, Playa del Inglés, one of my favourite views of Maspalomas sand dunes with Playa del Ingles in the foreground. A gorgeous spring day of blue skies all around with the odd cloud here and there, a bunch of bungalows (Santa Ana) with the parking lot close enough to access the golden sand beach, surrounded all by a bunch of palm trees and flamboyant trees. A feast for the eyes all the way to the back where the ocean waves hit the sand 😍👍🏻

The immensity of the dune landscape

#GranCanaria #Maspalomas #Landscapes #Nature #Dunes #Beaches #QueSuerteVivirAqui #LatitudDeVida

Aaah, my fascination with the sand dunes continues ... Snap shot from last Sunday, a glorious spring day, blue skies all around, in the horizon, an intense blue-coloured ocean hitting the endless golden sand beach and for the rest of the capture, the majestic golden sand dunes of Maspalomas. Like I said, years go by and yet my fascination with such sublime landscape continues ... 😍👍🏻

My kind of daily commute

#GranCanaria #Maspalomas #Beaches #Landscapes #Natures #QueSuerteVivirAqui #LatitudDeVida

Over the weekend, I felt like I needed to go through what it used to be my daily commute before starting work: walking along the boulevard from Playa del Ingles beach. Stunning views of different shades of blue colours with the sky and the ocean, the golden sand, the stairway to heaven (the beach), the maritime pine trees watching over the scene while in the horizon you can see Maspalomas Dunes. Yeah, this used to be my daily commute. Nowadays, I have a different one, but this one is just a little while longer to do in the opposite direction. Happy week, everyone! 😍👍🏻

Spring red rose in full bloom

Straight out of the terrace parterre, a red rose in full bloom with bright colour shades, showing spring is well on its way despite what other reports about the summer may be saying out there... 🌹😍😜👍🏻

Nothing is safe

#GranCanaria #Maspalomas #Graffiti #Landscapes #Nature #Dunes #Beaches #QueSuerteVivirAqui #LatitudDeVida

I wasn't too sure whether I wanted to share this snap shot when I took it a few weeks back. The caption for it is "Noting is safe". Why? Well, not even a protected natural reserve like Maspalomas Dunes is safe from the stupidity of certain individuals (hooligans) being an arsehole with what's not theirs. That's not a spot you can paint some graffiti on just because, you know, you fancy being an idiot. Whoever did that can right f*ck *off ! 🤬

(In the capture you can see Maspalomas Dunes with the gentle ocean in the horizon, blending in nicely with the blue skies and making up for quite a contrast with the golden sand. Pure bliss and a lovely way to start the weekend! 😍👍🏻)

Hiking in Guayadeque

#GranCanaria #Guayadeque #Winter #Hiking #Senderismo #Mountains #Landscapes #Nature #QueSuerteVivirAqui #LatitudDeVida

Gran Canaria, Barranco de Guayadeque. One of the most spectacular hikes in the island, going up in the mountains of Guayadeque on a winter day with blue skies all around, a lush of green, and a majestic view with a tiny road with cars right in the middle of the snap shot and in the horizon, the ocean. Always the ocean 😍👍🏻 Gotta love the peace and quiet, away from the maddening world 🥰

Hiking at Cruz Grande

#GranCanaria #CruzGrande #Winter #Hiking #Senderismo #Mountains #Landscapes #Nature #QueSuerteVivirAqui #LatitudDeVida

Gran Canaria, Mirador Cruz Grande, on a gorgeous winter day with blue skies all around, huge mountains looking over the scene in the horizon while at the front lots of pine trees as well as agave plants. On the right side, you can see a rather tiny road where cars drive through, so you can compare with the gigantic mountains in perspective. This is the point towards the centre of the island from which you can no longer see the ocean, making you feel like you are hiking up somewhere in the mountains of continental land. Errr, nope, you're still in paradise island 😍👍🏻 heh

You, me and the full moon

#GranCanaria #Maspalomas #FullMoon #LunaLlena #Romance #Landscapes #Nature #Dunes #Beaches #QueSuerteVivirAqui #LatitudDeVida

It probably can't get better than this, can it? Full moon at Maspalomas Dunes, a couple cozying up next to each other on top of a golden sand dune, in the middle of the dark night, watching the full moon as if the world stopped. You, me and the full moon, we don't need anything else, babes! 🥰

Full moon sunset at Maspalomas Dunes

#GranCanaria #Maspalomas #Sunsets #FullMoon #LunaLlena #Landscapes #Nature #Dunes #Beaches #QueSuerteVivirAqui #LatitudDeVida

After last Saturday's glorious sunset over Maspalomas Dunes, I am back for more! Yesterday evening, at sunset, a full moon watching over the ocean and the golden sand dunes brought up a special moonlight that's still in my head this morning. Whoaaah! ... A feast for the senses 😍👍🏻
