Heavy winter
falls on our shoulders
like the burdens of Atlas..

A beautiful, little jasmine flower in black and white shot in macro.
Ένα όμορφο, μικρό γιασεμί λουλούδι σε μαύρο και άσπρο, φωτογραφήθηκε σε macro.


Fragility of life
wilted petals on the ground
like countless bodies
a few had big dreams
others only lived for the moment
their light left
and went to the heavens
others found a new home
to try once more
and face the storms again.

Macro shot of a thyme plant in my garden
Thyme is a great plant to have it can be used to treat an ailing cough or sore throat by consuming it as a tea. Another use is as a mosquito repellant, just rub the plant in between your palms to release the oils. Thyme has a lot of vitamin A and C and when used in your favourite dish it has been proven to lower blood pressure. Also, thyme has antibacterial properties and can be used to fight acne. There are much more uses and that’s what I love about botanicals.

It was a nice sunny and warm day so this butterfly decided to get to work. Fall hasn’t set in yet here in Athens.

A few grape leaves which never go to waste as they are used in the Greek food ‘dolmades’.
Λίγα φύλλα σταφυλιών που ποτέ δεν πάνε χαμένες, τις χρησιμοποιούνται στα ντολμαδάκια.
