Summer 2013- shadows and light

So at sunrise I loved playing with my camera taking photos of shadows and light coming in the house.

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).

Settling down...

After the first day's rain we settled down in the summer house.
Of course we started cleaning up but it was also a good chance to look around and see how the garden had changed.We also had some interesting encounters.
While having coffee on one of my deck chairs I noticed the game that shadows and light played,don't they look like butterflies?You can see the video of the game.

 I at once noticed the butterflies.

 And the flowers....

 and the herbs...

 and the neighbour's flowers....

 and the fruit trees.....

 It is so great eating fruit from one's fruit trees.

 And I also met insects who came to welcome me....

 and even a tortoise came......

 and the sunset view was breathtaking as always.....

 Goodnight little frog!

Shadow dance!
