Spring is coming

Bydirk

Between May and September, there is little rain down here and temperatures between 30 and 40 Celsius are normal. It seems that nature has to hurry up now. Do what needs to be done well before summer starts. So, we have seen the first cherry trees blooming, and on a hiking tour through the hills around Paleochora yesterday, we took some pictures from what is happening out there.

If you belong to the majority of the readers of this blog who still have to wait a bit for spring: You may enjoy the colours and power of nature that shines through them.

We also picked a bucket of wild mountain sage – the Cretan one is famous for it’s intense aromas.

Bacause of the lockdown situation, we decided to continue in the southern parts of Crete, away from cities. Most places down here are very, very quiet, even in summer season, but now we are mostly on our own.
