“Perhaps the earth can teach us, as when everything seems dead and later proves to be alive.” Pablo Neruda

May Day/Πρωτομαγια
Happy first of the month! Καλό μήνα!
Today is International workers’ day. Here in Greece it’s also ‘wreath making day’. I didn’t have Angelo (my cat) help me this year as he was sleeping. He took the day off from working hard fighting with the other cats in the neighbourhood. 😉
Wildflower/Αγριολούλουδο
Winter Blast/Χιονοθυελλα
The sunny morning after the rare snowstorm in Athens was a great opportunity to capture a few shots.
Η ηλιόλφανεια το πρωί μετά τη σπάνια χιονοθύελλα στην Αθήνα ήταν μια μεγάλη ευκαιρία για να τραβήξω μερικες φωτωγραφιες.
Pink Chrysanthemums/Ροζ Χρυσανθεμο
Can you spot the hanging spider?
Groovy!
Some beautiful Pink flowers still in bloom in December. And a little psychedelic photo of a the flower in the second photo.
CARNATIONS & PANSIES/ Γαρύφαλλα & Πανσέδες
“There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.” Aeschylus
“Grief is never something you get over. You don’t wake up one morning and say, ‘I’ve conquered that; now I’m moving on.’ It’s something that walks beside you every day. And if you can learn how to manage it and honour the person that you miss, you can take something that is incredibly sad and have some form of positivity.” Terri Irwin
Renewal/Ανανεωση
At summers’ end
the music plays
through concrete streets
another season
another reason
to hold on.
Seeing Red/Kόκκινο Παντού
Red, the colour symbolic of passion, love…and anger.
How is that? How can it be both?
“When anger rises, think of the consequences”. Confucius
Κόκκινο, το χρώμα συμβολικό του πάθους, της αγάπης … και του θυμού.
Πώς είναι αυτό? Πώς μπορεί να είναι και τα δύο;
«Όταν ο θυμός ανεβαίνει, σκεφτείτε τις συνέπειες». Κομφούκιος
Sunflower/Ηλίανθος
Beautiful sunflowers planted from seed in my garden. It’s best to grow them from seed than to buy them from a flower shop, as they will last longer in your garden.
Όμορφα ηλιοτρόπια φυτευμένα από σπόρους στον κήπο μου. Είναι καλύτερο να τα καλλιεργείτε από σπόρους από το να τα αγοράζετε από ανθοπωλείο, καθώς θα διαρκούν περισσότερο στον κήπο σας.
Invasion/Εισβολη
The catepillars are feasting on decaying flowers. Nothing goes to waste in nature.
