So I went around taking photos of fruit,flowers and plants.
Of snails and insects.
I looked around in my house and took some pics.
I framed the lovely cross stitch Karen D sent me from the States. I couldn't decide where to put it.
I put some more frames on the walls.
I spotted this red bellied spider that....jumped!!!!!!
Grapes are not ready yet.
I found a beach volley ball at the beach.
Some rubbish can be very beautiful!
I found some sea glass.
It rained quite a lot.
Spiders made webs.
Roses were beautiful!
Even with the rain drops on their petals!
I found pieces of sea weed brought out by the waves.
I saw a strange creature!
The rain kept on!
A little boy covered under an umbrella!
I planted some plants. Salvia.
I planted yellow daisies in my blue pot.
And a bougainvillea vera.
I finished reading these two books.
The tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte and Komik Seyler Yazmak (Everyday Stories of Istanbul) by Deniz Kavukcuoglou whom I met at the International Book Fair of Thessaloniki in April and he signed his book for me.
Tomorrow I will show you this weekend at the summer house!

The strange "creature" you saw is a praying mantis. I have a picture of one I saw last year in my photos. I don't see them very often but when I do it reminds me of my childhood when they were more plentiful. I enjoyed seeing all the photos you took on your rainy weekend.....especially the dew covered flowers. By the way, the snails in Greece have lovely homes!!!
The "praying mantis" is a strange creature, she eats up the male after reproduction,if I remember correctly...
And more lovely photos!
Breathtaking photos and post, Ariadne!!! Your beach house and gardens are lovely, peaceful and inspiring...like you. :)
we share so many things by living around the Mediterranean Sea ... such a similar vegetation actually ! I even took a photo two days ago of the last spider you showed ! (at the bottom of your post)
