Tremendo


Tremendo. Oh aren't I the funny one. My Spanish is getting really local now. Anyway, had a tremendous day in the woods. Isn't it amazing just how many different species of tree there are. I counted 158 and then gave up. Saw a few Pine Processionary Caterpillar nests. Nasty little buggers they are. Tell you about them one day. In the meantime stay safe. Besos.

Factoid: The Maritime Pine (Pinus pinaster) is a pine native to the western Mediterranean region. The range extends from Portugal and Spain north to southern and western France, east to western Italy, and south to northern Morocco, with small outlying populations in Algeria and Malta (possibly introduced by man). It generally occurs at low to moderate altitudes, mostly from sea level to 600 m, but up to 2000 m in the south of its range in Morocco.
