It was worth crossing the Atlantic to reach the amazing Azores. Just ask this little cheeper!
The islands are like a fantastic jungle garden of Eden.
Check out the trees,
and grottos!
The islands are volcanic and verdant.
Definitely worth croaking about!
It is especially nice visiting paradise when people are happy to see you!
There are vibrant towns with arts & culture just waiting for you to explore~
These historic islands are part of Portugal and have old European charm.
Cheers to you from the amazing Azores~
(Please excuse my being out of touch. Wifi is still hard to come by.)

Beautiful bird! 🙂
He is and he hopped right over to me! 🙂
He likes you. I love animals.
🙂
The bird is sooo cute. He looks like he is made up of different parts from various birds all put together. Is the dinosaur on the building and the “Not Sure You Understood It” meant to imply we don’t get we’re causing our own extinction? Hope you’re having a fabulous time.
He does look like a birdie amalgamation, but he’s a baby! 🙂
I’m sure he will be quite elegant when he is all grown up. For now he is one of the cutest babies I’ve ever seen. Especially for a birdie.
Funny, I just came back to say your interpretation of the Dino art is beautiful!
Amazing shots. Enjoy yourself. 🙂
Mil grazi-
Your photographs are lovely, Cindy. 🙂
You are more Ranu!
Fantastic set of photos, Cindy!
Awww, shucks!
Je suis admirative ! très belles photos ! merci du partage 🙂
Love those shots and birds and trees, too. Sounds exciting and fun exploring it all.
The Azores are simply astounding!
Your trip looks more amazing than mine. I saw herds of buffalo today.
I so love Buffalo and all the places they roam! Love you too Carol, enjoy!
Fabulous photographs. Adorable sweet bird:) Thank you.
Awww,thank you more my friend!
Oh, I so love Buffalo and all the places they roam!
You have the best eye for photography, Cindy. I just love them. What a fabulous trip you’re (we’re) having! LOL! Enjoy yourselves and be safe! 🙂
You have no idea how much I enjoy traveling with you Linda!
What a place…beautiful photos. Enjoy 🙂
Mil grazing!
Looks like paradise for sure. What’s up with the robin? Molting?
I think he is a baby, not fully fledged. I don’t have enough access to wifi to be sure though. He has a blue tummy, yellow bottom, and gray back. Do you know what he is?
I did a search of Azores birds, but found nothing similar. I think it looks like a European robin.
You so far have never been wrong! Thanks for doing the search while I cannot! <3
Oh Cindy,
They are stunning! It looks wonderful there.

It really is a wonderful, no stress, paradise!
Love this pic. Isn’t he darling….
Yes! <3
I’ve always like the sound to he Azores. Looks great. Enjoy you trip. 🙂
It has always been this mystery place to me that I wanted to see, but it was so far away…..
Oh I just adore the bird. What a fluffy underbelly! <3 And the serpentine tree roots are awe-inspiring. I'll be the sounds of nature out there are just as beautiful as the sight. The buildings, especially in the last photo, have a real beauty to them as well. I like how they seem to stretch from this perspective! Have a great time Cindy! <3 ~Lynn
Yes, I love all the same things you do Lynn! I didn’t want to overload with photos but the islands are pristine, clean, with pretty little towns, amazing flora & fauna and the ocean at your doorstep. Paradise!
That tiny specimen of a bird is enchanting.
Like a Dr. Suess bird! 🙂
Sweet little bird. 🙂 The trees are so fascinating, especially the second photo. Thank you for the beautiful tour, Cindy! 🙂 Happy travel. <3
Thank you Amy & be well my friend!
Gorgeous! I’d love to go there!

Ah a place I would like to visit too but not by boat. Plenty of whale watching? Are you going to arrive in Portugal mainland? Bom Viaje.
Yes, there are sperm whales and Blue Whales. We have seen the blues! Portugal mainland is set for next year after seeing this, we want to see more!!
Ahh so then we should liaise as have our flat near Tavira on the Eastern Algarve. Enjoy and wow would love to see the Blues.

The amazing Azores indeed, this place looks almost surreal and as you say a good look at what the Garden of Eden may be appeared ~ wonderful photos and great to see you are enjoying your trip. Safe travels.
We keep scratching our heads, wondering why we hadn’t been here before! It is remarkably lovlely~
Last time I was in the Azores was 1966! I was 24 – and I think Tiberias was Emperor!
🙂 Regards
Wow! I wonder how much it has changed? It is so lovely!
What a brilliant share…
What a lovely comment! 🙂
Lush images…I especially like the one with the gate! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you more for appreciating!
Really amazing – first I thought, you`ve been in a jungle.
It is verdant and green with lots of moisture, but more like Switzerland with tropical plants! 🙂
Reblogged this on Voices and Visions.
I am grateful for your kindness my friend!
Excellent captured… 🙂
So kind & so appreciated!
Fantastic, loving seeing it through you lens Cindy

Merci beaucoup!
Oh my, that frog seems to have unusually long hind legs – or is it just me 🙂 Well they’re surely to give it a gunge advantage in hopping about
Yes, very long legs and very powerful lungs! He made quite a racket!
I bet he did – I noticed his extraordinary qualities just by looking at the photo 🙂
🙂
Aww… that sweet little birdie and the amazing trees are breathtaking, Cindy 🙂 Pawkisses for a Sunny Sunday 🙂 <3
Hugs & cheers back to you! <3
You had me at that little bird, but then I kept scrolling, and it got better and better. Love those tree roots and the other scenes you’ve captured so beautifully!
Love that you are enjoying the sights with me my friend and all the best to you!
Just plain beautiful!
Ahhhhhh, so kind!
