  6. Just so inspiringly beautiful. My favourite out of this is Parc Guell. Wonderful to be swept away through blogosphere to sunny climates and lovely clear blue skies thankyou :) and then I look out my own window to see 1ft of snow.

  7. I tried to pick my favorite - I couldn't do it. Thanks for the post. I came to blogging late in the year and missed these, so now I can go back and explore. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.

  10. So beautiful. It makes me want to travel to Spain. I just love how the Clematis looks draping downwards.

  11. That shot from Granada has that wonderful "am I inside or am I outside?" appeal. I think us Californians get so used to casual gardening that we forget what a difference formality makes.

    I love these pictures. I like to use them as inspiration, for structures in my own garden. I need more land now, LOL. Thanks for sharing!

  14. When I am rich and can afford a huge garden, I shall build a collonade like the one at Fundacion Rodriguez Acosta.

    Best wishes for the rest of the Christmas Season, Alice, and for 2010 too.

  15. how absolutely gorgeous and inspiring! I mentioned this before but we visited parc guell in Barcelona - it was cold, dead, and rainy though! Wish I could have seen it as you did. I love the gardens of Europe.
