Beesy hour on the mountains. Έπεσε δουλειά στις Μαδάρες.

During my walking on the mountains, I found a small stretch of flat found which was covered with some kind of thistles or wild artichokes. It was something in between. Some were in full bloom. When I got a closer look at the flowers I had a surprise.
Όπως περπάταγα στις Μαδάρες, έπεσα σ' ένα επίπεδο κομμάτι εδάφους που ήταν καλυμμένο με ένα είδος γαιδουράγκαθου.. κάτι σαν αγριοαγγινάρα. ΄Μερικά ήταν ανθισμένα. Όταν κοίταξα πιο κοντά δέστε τι είδα.

I do love bees... maybe because I have never been attacked by one. But really, for me they are heralds of spring, and I love to see them swarming amongst the colorful blossoms.

Such beautiful colors you've brought us here, Costas!

They must be full of nectar. I wonder what thistle honey tastes like?

Τον κόσμο των χρωμάτων είναι πολύ όμορφη.

Σας ευχαριστώ.

The plants are so "rough" looking and covered with thistles. The pretty color of the bloom helps the bees to find them. What a nice surprise! Thanks Costas...

Too many bees for me. They are my illogical fear.
