Everyday Thoughts
Now it’s a fact that summer undoubtedly is over for this time here in Cyprus. The other night, there were gale-force winds and the rain poured down while the temperature dropped to 13 °C. But that doesn’t mean there can’t be warm, pleasant days ahead. Today, the sky is blue and it’s 21°C. The sun…

Frukt & Färg
Nu är den bästa tiden på året när det gäller frukt och grönt. Älskar att frossa i dessa godsaker och kan plocka en del själv från vår trädgård. Den övre bilden tog jag med för färgernas skull. Den som följt mig ett tag vet att jag tycker om mycket färg, färg påverkar ju även våra…

Bird Feeder Station
I built a bird feeder station that I placed in our garden. No, I’d be lying if I said I built it; I bought a simple wooden kit that I assembled and painted. Now I’m waiting for the birds, but so far, I haven’t seen any. Speaking of birds, I remember when a lost parakeet…

A Grasshopper
Hello from Paphos on the island of Cyprus!This is a grasshopper that I found in our garden the other day, it was a big one. Did you know (from Wikipedia) that Grasshopper are among what is possibly the most ancient living group of chewing herbivorous insects, dating back to around 250 million years ago? Impressive,…

Sunset in Zelemenos
It’s been a year now since I showed the first images from our new home here in Cyprus. At that time we hadn’t moved in, today we have lived here for just over five months. The view is amazing, never the same. At that time, the lion on the left had not been put in…
