I’m back around after a hectic-yet-nifty two months, and I bring with me to the Algarve (and normal life) some long-awaited springtime.

To prove it, I have uploaded a few pics snapped earlier today to my also-recently-neglected Portugal Life photoblog:

1. Algarve spring carpet.

2. Hillside ruin.

3. Olive tree in Algarve spring.

Yes, those titles are pretty dire, but such is life when you only have a limited amount of keyword choices to keep the search engines onside.

I’m about to take a bit of a break from my regular type of photography, kick back and relax a little, and photograph a lot of the Algarve for a book project of my own. In theory this should mean that the Portugal Life photoblog will see a lot more added to it, though the images that do get added to that are unlikely to be directly from the book, for obvious reasons.

I have plenty of other things going on too, both photography-related and otherwise, so I am likely to be around both virtually here on the blog and physically here in the Algarve for much of this year.

A quick passing note to say that I just uploaded a handful of new photos to my Portugal Life photoblog.

The new series starts here and ends here.

All of the photos were taken this afternoon in Loulé.

In honour of this morning’s excitement here in the Algarve.

Here is a quick video of me in my kitchen as the earthquake took place.

A quick note to point to a new series of ten or so photographs that I have just posted to my Portugal Life photoblog.

This latest series starts here and ends here.

All of the images were shot in Loulé this evening.

International martial arts, piano master classes, Fado, Latin and African beats at the casino, a gathering of bands performing music from the Middle Ages, markets in the old quarter and castle, stages of the Open Rally Championship, the Portuguese Masters golf tournament…and much more.
