Remnants of summer and automn!

|

I just emptied my phone from around 300 photos… Haven’t done that since August… So I decided to make a post with a selection of photos. Lilly sleeping and looking very comfortable in an uncomfortable position… A huuuuuggeee, fist sized, moth I spotted on the way to work on a hot August morning.   A last September swim in Pandeli. One of the things I miss about summer during the winter is not the weather (I hate summer weather) but rather being in the sea!   I designed this cake and the pastry cook realized it! One of the best meals I’ve had at the lovely Mylos restaurant!   When she is not wondering out in the ‘wilderness’ she is almost always sleeping…   And autumn arrived with some great storms… And yes autumn is my favorite time of the year! Perfect temperature and rain!!   And some great cloudy skies   In Athens for the Christmas holidays. It was really interesting how the city has changed in a matter of years!   CHOCOLATEEEE!!!   We tried molecular cocktails on my birthday.. I was not impressed, even though I absolutely loooovee cocktails   Aaaand back to the office….   I hope…

What the past couple of months looked like

|

In February was the Greek carnival! Here we have a good specimen of what homemade zombies look like!   and we also had Ash Monday, with a great meal of seafood..   I sometimes think she is plotting against us…     Spring is here     full of crazy colors   and the usual cat in the dumpster   crazy wild flowers I wish I had in mygarden  

Summer is over…or is it? Plus wayyy too many cat photos

|

Summer is technicaly over… But is it really? Weather is good, most of the days you can even go tot he beach.. ANd anyway I worked crazy a lot this summer.. I finaly have some free time so I refuse to accept that summer is over yet!! At least until it rains or the first time! 😛 End of August was my father’s birthday and we had lobster spaghetti.. DELICIOUS!!!   In the summer we see a lot of these little gecko like lizards. In Greece they are supposed to bring luck and once they get in the house it means you will have guests  🙂     Cats have been sleeping a lot since the temperature dropped a little…   This one has been sofa hopping!   Changed my route to work and discovered this gem neoclassical house!! Stunning!   She sleeps a bit messier than the other one…   On a night walk we discovered this cat on top of the tree.. It was pitch black and had to use flash to take a look… This the outcome A little street on the way to work!     This little guy was trying to attack our cat… Sadly…

August snaps!

|

So, it has been a really busy summer for me.. Working a lot! I haven’t had time to relax and it makes me a little jealous of all the people spending their days at the beach and their nights out! But what can I do… This is the time I work most.. I will just patiently wait for winter to come.. 🙂 Aisha relaxing on a Sunday morning.. Cuteness to the max! Maffy or Mafalda or Big Muff… A lot of buterflies where I live.. It like a dream every morning! Yes, this is a chicken and yes it is in the midle of the street… Home made freddo cappuccino     Construction has finished, owners have moved in and it looks spectacular!!       Detail of the new house we built!   Morning dew.. Humidity reaching crazy levels (98%)   Bees having breakfast 🙂  

I have been playing around with photoshop.

|

So, this week I spent a little too much time in photoshop (considering I had a crazy amount of work to do..) As you can see I discovered ‘actions’ in photoshop and I went CRAZYYY… I even remade old photos. Photos that weren’t nice at all, suddenly became interesting Out of focus images and bad quality ones Cute ones and some even cuter… I have forgoten the time she was so small… I even tried to make romantic ones and borring ones were spiced up! Cuteness never stops…

Sunday blogging and relaxing

|

I always wait for Sunday with such enthusiasm. It’s the only day of the week I do not work… And I always have grant plans, which I almost NEVER manage to fulfil.. Today I managed to do most of the things I had planed and the evening is still young.

The fact that it has been raining almost all day helped a lot.

uggly tiles look better with colorful rugs

Another thing that helped a lot was borrowing/confiscating my boyfriend’s iphone…

I finally managed to empty the camera… I know they look random but for the past months I haven’t been consistent with shooting…
So here they are, random shots, randomly processed…

This was shot on a cold February night

We went to Athens and met little Anna, this amazing little human

And then back to Leros for Easter

 

Nobody likes a flash…

A Christmas post!

|

  Here are some Christmas snapshots. They do not pretend to be good photos they are just snapshots from the past week and Christmas day! Enjoy : ) This year we decided to hand make our decorations. Well some mistakes were made, as you can see in the photo below I hanged the ornament the wrong way…   Best breakfast ever!! Not only the taste was divine but the colors were very Christmassy…   It was my little brother’s birthday and I made him a loooottt of cupcakes: of course there weren’t only cupcakes… And the Christmas Eve dinner He really enjoys seating there, so they specially placed a basket with a blanket next to the potatoes and onions Christmas morning was beautiful!!! Cold as hell but very sunny and the sea was calm..        

Summer films finally scanned..

|

I know it’s been quite a long time since my last post but with work and all it’s been a crazy period.. Imagine I just got the time to scan my summer films (almost 3 months after the end of summer.. Lil brotha scating   Little Nastia borred at a grown up dinner party : ) Saint Isidor, a church on a rock in the sea. One of the best places for a walk. My dearest friend Marilena and her Matteo in a double exposured shot!   At the airport waiting for the bus   At the beach enjoying the sun or the shade At the playground Neatly posed plants   Wild flowers and a goat escaping Lilly eating yumi treats and with a different camera   And I saved the best (for me at least) for the end. One of the most beautiful, cute, sweet weddings I have ever been to!! : )
