Barcelona is lovely and warm and so many of the local population 'live in the street' as one speaker at the conference I attended said. I took this photo on the day after I spoke at the International Conference on Social Learning spaces - Espacios Sociales de Aprendizaje.
Some of the apartments on a walk down La Rambla. I spent a lovely day off - smelling the coffee and paella on a stroll to the Cathedral.
Two of these little guys have been hanging around going in and out of the hedge. With Winter approaching they have been getting more and more adventurous coming to almost within touching distance. I couldn't resist getting a photo - even if it was with the flash on a rather dreary Scottish day. I wanted to get closer to the little guy, although it was raining and would rather not drown my favourite lens and beloved 7D. I have used the 2x extender and sacrificed a little clarity for the sake of a dry camera.
