First Day of Spring. Η πρώτη μέρα της Άνοιξης.

Today is the first day of Spring. Officially. So i m posting a couple of flower photographs to welcome it.. Αnd αnother couple of the last sunset of the winter we say good bye to. 

Σήμερα είναι η πρώτη μέρα της άνοιξης και με το νόμο. Γι' αυτό κι εγώ σας αφιερώνω μερικές φωτογραφίες με λουλούδια.. και βάζω και δυό φωτογραφίες με το τελευταίο ηλιοβασιλεμα του χειμώνα που αποχαιρετούμε.

Such a great way to welcome spring with those colorful and lovely flowers. You captured the beautiful sunset perfectly.

Beautiful flowers

Tash said...

lovely way to welcome spring...I also like the transition of colors - the sunset leading to a tinge of color in the orchids, progressing to white, yellow, and then - bright pinks.
PS - I think you may be the only blogger I know who has Na Drini Cuprija - I've only read 1/4 of it and I own both Serbian & English copies. I'll have to pick it up again.

Unknown said...

Thank you all my friends for your visit and your kind comments..
They mean a lot to me..
@ Tash.. Ivo Andric wrote many books about the area of the world we live..
and I am interested in understanding and trying to explain (to myself mostly, as others either dont bother or dont care to understand what is happening here ) the history and events of recent history in the Balkans. "The bridge over Drina" has 400 years of history in it. It says a lot about Bosnia, the people and older and more recent history. I read the book in Greek.. I could not find the English version of it and of course my control of Srbski is not up to the standards to read Andric who is a difficult writer to read..
I was trying to learn Srbski many many years ago, and could speak and understand a little.. Now I have forgoten most.. only i can say now:
Dovidjenia..
