Saturday

We didn't really get much rain last night -- as it turned out, it waited until this morning. Overcast and wet, with very light thunder occasionally. And warm, of course.

And ... not much else right now. More later. Hopefully. :-)

Santa Marta de Ribarteme

A photo from a Spanish summer festival -- July 29th is the feast day of Santa Marta, virgin and sister of Mary Magdalene and Lazarus. According to tradition, the procession includes people who have escaped death during the year, who lie in coffins as a way to thank God for keeping them alive. A little more information can be found at this site.



I found this photo both haunting and beautiful. A larger version can be found here (photo credit: Miguel Vidal, Reuters).
