Shell Bracelet and Sunday Afternoon Blues

It was Sunday, a very boring bloody Sunday afternoon and I stayed at home. I had the blues, I was down, depressed, you know, like any odd weekend before horrible Monday comes. My archives were reaching the red mark, way past the warning sign saying, alert, alert tomorrow you will have nothing to post so I decided I had to fetch some insignificant objects and let go my imagination. As you see my imagination had decided to go for a walk without me so I came up with this "miserable" macro of some plain shell bracelet. Please be lenient with me.

Grilled Leaks Soaked in Romesco Sauce? No, Just Some Calçots

Do you dig grilling some baby leeks to later soak them in romesco sauce? I do! Well, it is not exactly a leek nor it is an onion or a garlic plant but something in between. It definitely reminds you of onions when you smell it and taste it. Maybe the only difference is that calçots, as such is their name in Catalan, neither bite nor make you cry.

Here you have a great bunch of calçots that are traditionally consumed this time of the year. I won't get any deeper into the story about what they are or the ritual followed before and during a calçotada since that has already been described in this previous post of mine: Catalan Traditions, La Calçotada.

Catalan Lancers at Tres Tombs Parade, Sand Andreu, Barcelona

Taken last year this image shows two lancers opening the famous Tres Tombs parade at Sant Andreu quarter, Barcelona. It is a yearly event in which locals tour some neighborhood streets riding beautiful horses or on board of carts of elaborate design. There are other shots depicting Tres Tombs parade:
