Hello!
The nature around the island where I live is threatened by the construction of a shipyard next to it. Please visit my blog http://ilovefloripa.blogspot.com/ and help me to divulge this. Thank you!

HA, my Greek friends tell me all you need to be a good Greek cook is salt, pepper, lemon and oregano! Of course they always throw in some nice feta and olives of course. We're on our way here with you olive and lemon tr ees. Very nice macro shots.

I have a lemon tree like that in my back yard. And yes, it is blooming just so. Beautiful close-ups, Costas! You bring nature to life.

Πως είχα την εντύπωση πως ήταν κίτρινοι οι λεμονανθοί;

I can smell the lemon tree! Thank you!!! My family raised lemons, oranges, and avocados. It's all gone now. Until I saw your photos, I hadn't thought of the lemon blossoms in years. They brought back some good memories, and you showed the blossoming trees so well. I'll probably be back to look again!

I have never seen a lemon tree blossom up close. Absolutely beautiful! I love the beetle and bee who visited the blossoms as well.

Thank you all for your kind comments my friends. What I am trying to give you here is some sample of the colors and perfumes of Greece at this time of year.
