Greek spring

Many people have been asking about what the spring is like down here.
Me myself I don't think it's as much spring as you expect it to be in Greece, it has been many cold and gray days and you have to keep your shirt and jacket on.
This past week, however, the sun started to show itself and it's lovely! It immediately becomes warm and pleasant, sometimes I even had to take my jacket off. Young people go, as young people like to do, in the t-shirt and do not want their jackets but it's not really that warm in the air. But as I said, in the sun, it is very nice!
The main difference from Sweden I think is that the temperature remains mild even at night and this welcomes life into flowers and trees. I were walking around in our neighbourhood and documented a proportion of all spring splendor that dressed our island for the the National Day, which yesterday was celebrated with parades and partys.

This flower is a sign that it is almost Easter, it is marvelous, delicate and colorful. You can find big areas full of this beauty, but this lonely one is growing in our garden.
And then a couple of pictures of the neighbors down from our house. The little lamb bleats to catch up with the rooster crowing. The donkey is, however, mostly quiet and seems to be a gentle creature.

Another sign of spring is our first barbecue on the balcony that we enjoyed last weekend.
And! the snow is gone from the mountains. :-)
