Take a seat!

Do you like zinnias? I really do because they are growing 

so well in our front country yard which receives sun all day 

long and seems like to have a little zinnia forest! 

Bougainvillea blooms are really impressive along the hedge, 

roses continue to be so generous and the vineyard 

is ready to color its grapes…

The weather is perfect, the sky is blue, the country garden 

is refilling with colors, the sea begins to invite swimmers 

like me (not so brave!) and holiday season is approaching 

fast so we can finally slow down and take the time 

to think and dream… Our mood is improving day by day…

I took a seat, put it under the lemon trees and tried 

to transfer a bit of garden’s fascination and magic. 

It’s all so quiet and peaceful, I can only hear the sound 

of cicadas and feel the warm embrace of the breeze.

Let’s hope that it will be a lovely peaceful summer!

Have fun and enjoy summer delights!

Colors in the veranda - Bloglovin!

Returning from a short break holiday I picked up this colorful bouquet 

along the highway, which is a selection of wild summer flowers. 

For some of them I didn’t even know their names in Greek but 

I did my research and I also found their names in English.. 

So, there is Vitex agnus-castus, also called Chaste Tree 

(violet color), Nerium oleander (white and pink), 

Mirabilis Jalapa or the four o'clock flower 

(orange with red stripes) and some branches of pine.

In the Mediterranean zone, all fields are almost yellow 

but these flowers, resistant to high temperatures 

keep colors palette alive.

The orange bougainvillea is in full bloom despite the winds 

of June and the other one is preparing to give us 

its wonderful white flowers.

For summer I do like all shades of apricot and orange and 

last week we painted the wall of the roof terrace in this color. 

With the sun it really shines and gives a warm glowall around.

 

I want to thank all blogfriends who leave me such 

warm and really interesting comments.

Especially in the last post!

They are truly appreciated!

I leave you with the fragrance of honeysuckles 

and the flavor of the first nectarines.

May all the  colourful, warm and sunny summer days be ahead!

Aegean getaway

Three hours away from dream…

an eternal destination

Greek Archipelago

Cyclades islands

The name “Cyclades” refers to the islands forming a circle  

around the sacred island of Delos.

 According to the Greek mythology, Poseidon, God of the sea, 

furious at the Cyclades nymphs turned them into islands.

architecture in white and blue...

a heavenly accommodation
