Photographs of nature, places and objects that have caught my eye.

Φωτογραφίες απο την φύση, απο τόπους και αντικείμενα που μου χτύπησαν στο μάτι.

Let us change our subject. And our mood. Ας αλλάξωμε θέμα. Και διάθεση.

The last few days are really warm and springlike here. Spring has settled for good. You can smell it in the air and you can feel it in your bones. And that makes you feel better.
Τις τελευταίες ημέρες ο καιρός άλλαξε. Ζέστανε και φαίνεται πως η άνοιξη εγκαταστάθηκε για τα καλά. Μπορείς να το μυρίσης στον αέρα και να το νιώσης στα κόκαλά σου. Και αυτό σου αλλάζει και την διάθεση. Σε κάνει να νιώθεις καλύτερα.
Sometimes, you can get all kinds of unexpected spring visitors.
Μερικές φορές μπορεί να σούρθουν κάθε λογής απρόσμενοι ανοιξιάτικοι επισκέπτες.
New colors have been added in natures pallet.
Καινούρια χρώματα προστέθηκαν στην παλλέτα της φύσης.
The collared dove has returned and is renovating its nest again.
Η δεκοχτούρα επέστρεψε και ανακαινίζει πάλι την φωλιά της.
You can see the changes of the little olive tree I have in the pot, in just a couple of days.
Μπορείτε να δείτε τις αλλαγές στην ελίτσα που έχω στην γλάστρα μέσα σε δυό-τρείς μέρες.
The little kumquat tree (citrus japonica) in another pot, although battered by the winds and almost bare of leaves, is holding its small, orange like fruit with their unique smell.
...and the azalea, in full blossom, is displaying its glorious colors.
...και η ολάνθιστη αζαλέα επιδεικνύει τα υπέροχα χρώματά της.

The 2nd flower is so cute, that too with a slightly wilted petal adds charm to this shot!

Excellent flowers! In southern Poland spring is less visible yet. And the last few days are very windy and cold.

Olá, amigo!

Suas fotos realçam a beleza da primavera. Você tem um talento especial para a fotografia e uma atenção própria para capturar detalhes... muito bonitas as fotos do inseto e do ninho escondido entre os ramos de acácia.

Um lindo domingo!
Beijinhos.

Your flowers are gorgeous Costas, so many colors. Spring is running late for us, only a few blooms so far.
