Horses grazing in the Costa Brava: a discovery while cycling.
Some of you who live in Europe will probably agree with me. Seeing horses in the wild is not a common view these days. For me, itâs a relaxing experience as well as a source of inspiration. In Catalonia, between Roses and Empuriabrava, this is what Iâve found: a team of brown and dark-coloured horses slightly hidden behind the trees and greenery. Horses grazing at La Rubina, Empuriabrava.âŚ

The horses of St. Markâs Basilica.
The horses of St. Markâs Basilica.
A short visit to Venice led me to marvel at this sculpture. Itâs the famous âquadrigaâ found at the front façade of St. Markâs Cathedral, in one of the exits. The quadriga outside the Basilica.@elisendana It is said that these horses were made around the 2ndc A.D., i.e., in Roman Times. This sculpture is atypical in many ways. Firstly, you wouldnât dream of finding it in a church. Horses in aâŚ

Emotion-wise Learning
This is the poster I made a while ago for my students -and myself. It is based on a graph presented in the book âPrinciples of Language Teaching and Learningâ by H. Douglas Brown. A masterpiece in ESL teaching which has illumined many of us since it was first published in the 80âs. This past winter, I had to remind myself of these âtwo versionsâ in the poster. I will tell you why. Here are theâŚ

The Black Poplar Tree Flower
The Black Poplar Tree Flower
The Black Poplar Tree in blossom. @elisendana These days many people post photos of flowers in blooming. More often than not, they are pictures of planted species, delicate flower beds and also of well-arranged gardens. Without wanting to undermine their importance, let me draw your attention to this other one: the flower of the Black Poplar tree. Today, I was drawn to it like a magnet whileâŚ

âSalvia Oficinalisâ, âSalviaâ or âSageâ: a saviour for the brain
Not long ago, my sister -and guru of natural medicine- offered me a tip: âAnna, la salvia te salvaâ. She was clearly referring to this magnificent plant, a shrub with big, velvet-like evergreen leaves. Ever since that day, I have procured dried salvia leaves from my favourite herbal shop. Almost every night, I usually grab a pinch of salvia leaves and prepare a hot infusion before going toâŚ

âCornâ or âMaizeâ and the Flag of the Seven Colours.
Maize or corn has been the staple food for many indigenous people in America and has been no exception in Argentina. In one of my last trips to the province of Tucuman, in the small cosy town of TafĂ del Valle, I was greatly surprised to see how it could be grown ecologically. Angela Romano, a kind local female farmer, and entrepreneur opened her house (aka âLa casa de mi tataâ) to my sisterâŚ

Chamomile, easy on the ear, easy on the stomach.
Roman chamomile or simply âchamomileâ is such an easy and noble plant ! Easy because its name sounds sweetly in our ears in at least three languages: âCamamillaâ (Catalan). Chamamille (French) and Chamamile (English). Itâs no wonder that it received the title of nobility in its Latin origin âAnthemis Nobilisâ since it has long been considered a magical plant, a first aid in any physicianâsâŚ

âCynara Cardunculusâ, âArtichokeâ âCarxofaâ and the liver A short visit to the Botanic Garden in the majestic Parc Nou (Olot, NE Spain) reveals interesting discoveries. One of them is this plant, which can pass unnoticed at the back of the land plot. Itâs a Cynara Cardunculus, commonly known as âHerba Carxoferaâ (CAT) or âPrickly Artichoke (EN) or âCardoâ (ES). As it is, in mid May, this plantâŚ
