The snow melted as quickly as it came here in Athens. No complaints about that; and now it’s just raining and raining..

Fall To Winter
“Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”-Marilyn Monroe
Chrysalis/Χρυσαλλίδα
A chrysalis embedded in an Bougainvillea tree in my garden which is slowly going through a metamorphosis.
Μια χρυσαλλίδα ενσωματωμένη στη Μπουκαμβίλια στο κήπο μου το οποιο σιγα σιγα μεταμόρφωνεται.
Pomegranate fruit (not ripe yet)
..”I think it’s a little different in Europe, because 40 is really the best age for a woman. That’s when we hit our peak and become this ripe fruit”. – Juliette Binoche (French Actress)
I’m not 40 (I am in my thirties) so I am not ripe just yet, but I couldn’t agree more. Our society puts too much emphasis on youth.
Lavender/Λεβάντα
Lavender from my garden
I’m glad I took this macro shot of a lavender flower, from a pot in my garden, because I didn’t notice how beautiful this flower is. I have found that the lavender flower is very useful too. The flower can be brewed to make a tea for coughs, and its essential oils can be used for aroma therapy, also its strong scent keeps clothes smelling fresh and free of bites from pesky moths.

Before the rain fall of the previous weekend, I ventured into my garden to take some photographs. A garden like this is not a common sight in the concrete jungle that is Athens. That’s why I am very grateful for having one so that I can capture the beauty of nature with my lens as often as I like.
White Rose/Λευκό Τριαντάφυλλο
White Rose In My Garden
The white rose is a favourite of many brides for their bridal bouquets. It symbolizes purity, innocence and honour.
Το λευκό τριαντάφυλλο είναι ένα από τα αγαπημένα λουλούδια που χρησιμοποιούν οι νύφες στις ανθοδέσμες τους. Συμβολίζει την αγνότητα την αθωότητα και την τιμή.
Chrysanthemum/Χρυσάνθεμο
Orange Chrysanthemum
A melancholy black and white version of this cheerful and optimistic flower. My chrysanthemum has a beautiful gold and orange colour, but the texture and tone of the flower was more vivid in its darker version.
Μια μελαγχολική ασπρόμαυρη εκδοχή για αυτό το χαρούμενο και αισιόδοξο λουλούδι. Το χρυσάνθεμο μου έχει ένα όμορφο χρυσό και πορτοκαλί χρώμα, αλλά η υφή και τον τόνο του λουλουδιού ήταν πιο έντονη στην πιο σκοτεινή εκδοχή του.
Cabbage Patch/Tο Λάχανο
A cabbage patch in my garden
The ground may be shaking in Greece, but at least the winter has been mild. My friends and relatives in Canada will certainly be envious of these January Athens garden photos!
Μπορει να τρεμει το έδαφος στην Ελλάδα, αλλά τουλάχιστον ο χειμώνας ειναι ήπιος. Οι φίλοι και συγγενείς μου στον Καναδά σίγουρα θα ζηλεψουνε αυτες τις φωτογραφίες που τραβηκτηκαν στο κήπο μου στην Αθηνα τον περασμενο Ιανουαριο!
