“Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.”
-Paulo Coelho

Wildlife/Αγρια ζώα
“Do not disturb”.
“Hello, stranger”.
I haven’t seen owls in years. Pretty cool!
“Did I give you permission to take my picture?”
Turtle Power/Η Δύναμη της Χελώνας

Paradise in the City/Παράδεισος στην Πόλη
My dream car!
The city of Athens is considered one of the least greenest in Europe. That is slowly changing as people are becoming more and more environmentally conscious. The Botanical Park in Haidari in western Athens is a nice hidden gem, and a beautiful escape from the concrete of the city that many Athenians don’t know very well.
Η πόλη της Αθήνας θεωρείται ένα από τα λιγότερα πράσινα στην Ευρώπη. Αυτό αλλάζει σιγά-σιγά, καθώς οι Έλληνες γίνονται όλο και πιο φιλική προς το περιβάλλον. Το Βοτανικό Πάρκο στο Χαϊδάρι στη δυτική Αθήνα είναι ένα ωραίο κρυμμένο κόσμημα και μια όμορφη απόδραση από το τσιμέντο της πόλης που λιγοί Αθηναίοι γνωρίζουν καλά.
Mellow Yellow/Κίτρινα Ανθη
¨In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.” -Aristotle
“Σε όλα τα πράγματα στη φύση υπάρχει κάτι το θαυμαστό.” –Αριστοτέλης
False Positivity/Ψεύτικη Θετικότητα

“In our day and age, global society has been saturated with the wrong teaching of false positivity. The denial of darkness never equates the abundance of light. And the denial of your actual character never equates to the reality of your best character. People today are afraid to work on themselves and on their actual realities, they believe that outward appearances are enough. Outward appearances have become everything in our current day and age. People don’t see what they are actually like, nor who they actually are, in reality. They live in a phantasmic version of reality. It has to stop. In the phantasmic version of reality, there is no chance to experience true love, true goodness, and true metamorphosis. The caterpillar does not become a butterfly by telling everybody it has wings. It actually buries itself in darkness and grows those wings.”

March Tradition/O Μάρτης
Καλό μήνα! Happy new month!
The red and white string in the photo is worn by Greeks and by people from Balkan countries during the month of March. It’s supposed to protect a person from getting sun burnt this month. The March sun can be deceptive; you don’t think it will burn you because it’s not summer yet, but it will. So a bit of sun screen coupled with this string would be a better idea.
At the end of the month the string is put on a rose bush so that the birds can take it and use it to make their nests.
