Miscellaneous Curious Photos and Flowers on the Islands

A beautiful old catholic church (1834) in the city: The Cathedral of Angra do Heroísmo. 
I really liked this wooden sculpture of Jesus the carpenter we saw in a church. I’ve never seen Jesus portrayed as a carpenter in a sculpture form before.
A landscape view of San Miguel, the green isle.
An inviting path to the sea.
Yummy gelato…
Yummy fruits and vegetables!
A humongous pot of pretty petunias.
There were several types of roosters “strutting their stuff”, on all the islands.
These two parrots, in an enclosed area in a park, were fun to watch.
I like this photo of the exposed tree roots, growing down, down, down into the earth.
This tree was called the elephant foot…must be a nickname! 😉

And then there were so many flowers…these photos capture a few unusual ones…

I loved the way the twilight reflected in these windows.

  2. Valerie, I’m so enjoying this series. What a beautiful place. I love how you notice details, like Jesus as a carpenter and those tree roots. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us in images and words.

    1. Thank you Audrey.
      I’m glad you are enjoying the tales and photos of our Azores trip.

  4. You do a great job. I think you missed your calling, a tour guide. Beautiful pictures.

  5. Great photos… my favorite is the tree root’s reaching down, a good illustration of how roots going down are like branches going up
