August second and third week memories

 A butterfly that posed for pictures.......
 I read the biography of La Bella Otero by Carmen Posadas
 Watched the shadows...........
 Collected sea glass.
 Tried my binoculars to see the passing ships.
 Looked out for storms but fortunately there weren't many.
 Met my beautiful niece Vicky.
 Bought another fridge magnet.
 Read The Treasure of the Isle of Mist by W.W.Tarn, a British scholar who wrote a lot about Greece.
 Enjoyed the beach at the beach bar.
 Read this excellent book The blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood.
 Put Marabeth's gift on the wall.
 Loved this plant in my garden,so wintery looking.

 Saw through the fin of the fish my hubbie caught.
 Adored the colours during an evening swim.

 Spotted a yellow sea bike.

 Loved the shadows of my olive tree.
 Another butterfly posed for me (the photo in reality is upsidedown).

Long weekend of June.

 Last weekend we were at our summer house. Unfortunately the weather was not always very good.
 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.

 Spot my prince frog down there!


 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!
