I spent the whole day looking at that view. Lovely, isn't it? Or is it just me, being nostalgic? After several months away from our farm, a day in a scenery very similar to Crete, was the best way to welcome

In many countries the Easter is over but in Greece we are going to celebrate it next Sunday. Which means that we are on the third day of the Holy Week and the preparations for the weekend to come have

Until yesterday I knew only two places that you HAVE TO take off your shoes before entering. Any Muslim mosque and the house of aunt Marge after she had finished shining her wooden floor :) Apparently

He stopped suddenly under the window, hesitant if he should keep going or not. One of his four legs remained on the air for a moment that seemed everlasting. He had just heard his humans exclaiming this

After six years of blogging, I still find writing the hardest part. I have learned, from a very young age to express myself with pictures rather than words. Photography happens handily, without any effort.

I sat by the window with a cup of cacao in my hand staring at the trees in the park receiving the gift of the sky. The sound of the rain clattering on the pavement, sounded like music into my ears. The

The morning sun was once again brilliant, teasing me to take a few pictures. And once again I was walking without a camera. But as someone told me the other day, holding the leash of a dog in one hand

What's in the garden in the middle of April? Loquats since now is the month that they get ripen, bugs as spring is their favourite time of the year and of course cats because cats are always there :) I

Reading the news has become an increasingly unhealthy habit. The world never looked more dangerous, more hostile and more irrational, if you try to interpret it through the headlines. Heinous crimes,

A ray of light on the leaves of a succulent, a camera, a lens, a photographer, a random encounter or a sparkle of inspiration? Wandering around with a camera in hand seeking for excuses, not for a fight

The light was brilliant, the old town as scenic as ever and the shadow of the dog posing perfectly on the mowed lawn. I blamed myself for not taking a camera with me. As if I didn't know. Walking at the

I came to the island of Tinos without many expectations but it kept surprising me, in the most pleasant and unexpected way. From the beach bar that looked like an art installation, to the village that

I started my usual seaside walk today but I turned around halfway. I just couldn't handle the hot sun. As winter felt like autumn, it turns out that spring feels already like summer. The news confirms

We went to the florist shop to buy a couple of clay pots, the other day and the place was packed with people buying flowers, plants, pots, fertilisers and so on, in a frantic, almost hysterical way. The

The sky is dark, a reddish dark, the one caused by the dessert sand, travelling all the way from Africa to Europe. The south wind is furious, the trees are moving in a frantic dance, like they are about

Almost hypnotised, I was drawn by its bright pink colour, like a moth to a flame. I was doomed to succumb to the urge to get closer and take a few pictures without any further delay. Cercis siliquastrum

The meeting point was outside of the Toplou monastery. And although Easter was close and we were at one of the most famous monasteries of eastern Crete, our little gathering had nothing to do with religion.

When we were living in Crete, going to Athens was a big deal, involving a 14 hours trip and a lot of expenses. So it was happening once a year and in order to make it worth the fuss, it usually lasted

So far so good! Everything seemed normal till then. We had been on the island for a couple of days and everything was turning out, more or less, as anticipated. When you have seen so many Greek islands

Today is a big national day for Greece with many festivities and parades all over the country. The student parade took place a few meters away from our place and for a moment I considered documenting the
