In spring-summer limbo

Spring seems to have an effect on you, on your skin, on your mood 

and soul, everything that makes up your everydayness.

It’s thanks to the renewing powerfulness of nature that

everybody feels better in springtime.

Regardless of the mildness of the Greek winter, the new season

 still comes as a predictable surprise. As I watch the hues of light

 intensifying around me, it’s hard not to think of the myth of 

Persephone. The sweet daughter of goddess Demeter who was

 kidnapped by Hades and later became the Queen of the

 Underworld, guarantees the eternal cycle of Nature's death and 

rebirth. The light she brings is the Greek light that mostly fits my

 country, the one that opens the doors and lets us out. 

The only catch with our spring is that it

 must be grabbed by the hair, as short and ephemeral as it is. 

One minute you are staring at the green fields bursting with daisies

 and poppies and the next you are faced with all shades of yellow 

dryness. We are now called to taste the sea and abandon flower

 picking and picnics midway. Who could blame a woman in limbo

 for taking a quick dive last week-end? (that's me!)

 Who could blame summer

 for flirting with us?

 

Here is an array of springy captured moments we enjoyed during

 our Easter holidays. 

The mountains, castle of Corinth hill and the sea, island of Poros.

Hope this beautiful season has gloriously visited you and your 

part of the world. If not, may spring brightness reside inside you 

and fill your life with good energy and positivity.

 See you soon
