Poppies at the park!

Last year the seafront parks were full with poppies! This year there are only a few. Still they are beautiful!

 Dogs love them as much as we do!

 There are in many different colours!

 There was even a white one!

Have a nice weekend!

A day at the beach!

At last, after fifteen days of hospitals, doctors, pharmacists, diets, drugs, lots of water and drinks,lots of pain, lots of anxiety and finally a lithotripsy, hubby is feeling much better thank you! And thank you all for your get well wishes.
So today we decided to go to our beach house for a quick day trip and to relax a bit.
The sun was shining!

First we checked the house and put some things in order.
I also put the little seascape painting of Georgia in its right place.There among the beautiful treasures from the States.

Then we went down to the beach! The sea was rough and dirty.

But Barca loved it and went in of course!

The sea had destroyed part of our beach in the winter. Hopefully it will be fixed as every summer.

I tried to collect a bit of sea glass but there wasn't much!

But the goodbye kiss of the beach was wonderful! A lovely round thick white piece.

Back at home I looked at all of my loot.

I even spotted my first poppy of the season!

We of course had to finish this beautiful day with a great dinner out at Argonautes in Potidea. Great food with great views of the sea.

Steamed mussels, "married" sardines (sardines stuffed with tomato and pepper), squid with onions, deep fried aubergines, wild green leaves, and tsipouro of course!
Barca was a sweetheart and wasn't car sick at all which made us very very happy!

A great day! We really needed it! Hope you have a great weekend too friends!

Spotting beauty around me....

It's raining heavily outside, the first storm of the season. So I thought of doing some chores!

Writing down grades, evaluating the University Students Practice, a little bit of ironing later!

At the same time my son is studying as yesterday the Entrance University Exams started.

So I thought of giving you some photos I have taken lately in random.

Some photos of sea glass.

Those are the best finds from the last time we were at the beach house accompanied by stones from Margie of Resurrection Fern and Lisa of lilfishstudios.

Here's sea glass brought to me from the island of Mytilene by my friend Dora.

Here's the poster of the American Horror Story (No I don't watch it.)

And that's the house in my neighbourhood used for the poster. It belongs to the Italian Government.

Some jelly beans we enjoyed recently.Great colours!

Some more poppies from the parks at the sea front!

Along with some handicrafts and poems written by little children on Mother's Day festivities.

The wonderful view of Thermaikos Gulf.

Photographic exhibition about the new sea front promenade in which I too took part!My photo wasn't chosen though but still I enjoyed seeing all the other photos.

The Golden Dome of Methodius and Cyril Church.

Poppies against a stone wall.

Looking up with my camera I spotted the line of an aeroplane. When I uploaded the photos I found a bee flying along,too!

Can you believe it that this field is just 5 minutes' walk from my house?

Coffee with relatives at the sea front cafe of the yacht club.

And a tiny dragon !
