Make sure to get some vitamin C this cold/flu season A little raw garlic clove ingested with orange juice in another trick to keep the germs at bay.

Να κατανλωνετε βιτανιμνη C για να αποφευγετε το κρυολογημα και τη γριπη.  Λιγο ωμο σκορδο συνοδευμενο με πορτοκαλαδα θα κρατησουν τα μικροβια μακρια.

“All things share the same breath-the beast, the tree, the man…the air shares its spirit with all life it supports”. – Chief Seattle, Duwamish Tribe

Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.” – Bill Nye (the Science guy)

A ‘cool’ photo of a rose kissing snow (love this shade of pink) with a two layered background, rose stems and bokeh. I didn’t expect a good result from this shot.  Photography is magic 😉

Ένα τριαντάφυλλο που φιλάει το χιόνι. Λατρεύω αυτή τη σκιά του ροζ. Με δύο στρώματα φόντου,  τριαντάφυλλα και bokeh. Δεν περίμενα ένα καλό αποτέλεσμα από αυτό το πλάνο. Η φωτογραφία είναι μαγική 😉

Happy 2019!/ Ευτυχισμένο το 2019

Happy New Year! May the new year bless everyone with love, good health, and prosperity.

It was a very rainy and windy New years eve here in Athens, but the weather didn’t stop the beautiful fireworks display from happening all over the city.

I am very glad to let 2018 go as it was a very challenging year for, not only myself, but for the whole world.  I am so thankful for this blog as it has helped me remain motivated and focused on my creative pursuits. Thank goodness for creativity!

The world can seem so dark,and life can be such a disappointment sometimes; people can be so cruel, but the beauty of art and nature balances it all out.

Stay strong no matter what the new year may bring. 🙂

 

 

Bee Happy/Μια μέλισσουλα

It’s these little things, like a bee resting on a leaf, that we should all appreciate. It made me smile that day. 🙂

Είναι αυτά τα μικρά πράγματα, όπως μια μέλισσα που στηρίζεται σε ένα φύλλο που όλοι πρέπει να εκτιμήσουμε. Με έκανε να χαμογελάσω εκείνη την ημέρα. 🙂

“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
