White Christmas In Greece Not many people realise that Greece gets snow. I mean proper snow. Enough snow to warrant having ski resorts. Most people think sun, sea, sand and ouzo when thinking about holidaying in Greece. Forget that skiing in the Alps piffle, head for the Peloponnese! Despite ... [ Read More ]
A Festive Sunrise
A Festive Sunrise Can you believe that it's Christmas morning tomorrow? I imagine the fat man in red is revving up his sleigh as I type out this post. I've usually got my Sunday Photo post done by now, but this week has been so manic I never quite got there. But, it's been worth it as (dare I say ... [ Read More ]
Where Does A Cat Have To Sleep To Get Some Peace?
Where Does A Cat Have To Sleep To Get Some Peace? Yay! This was the photo I had planned for last Sunday! It was tucked away in the totally wrong folder (so much for trying to be organised). Last week there was one thing after another that kept me from sharing a Sunday photo, my misfiled photo being ... [ Read More ]
Stuart Little
Stuart Little Not very original I know, but what else do you call a mouse? This little cutey somehow managed to wriggle its way into a tin of dry dog food. How I don't know as I thought the metal lid fits quite snuggly. I did get a proper fright when I prized the lid off, as Stuart Little ... [ Read More ]
Shelf Fungi Growing On A Tree
Shelf Fungi Growing On A Tree Our very old looking apricot tree has started sprouting fungi and very decorative looking fungi it is too. The tree is old and was probably planted when the house was built after the earthquake in 1953, making it over 64 years old. Is that old for a fruit ... [ Read More ]
50mm Or 35mm?
50mm or 35mm? 50mm or 35mm? That's been the big question of the week. With my birthday and Christmas just around the corner, my family have been asking what I would like. I decided a while back that for my next camera lens I would like a prime lens, but deciding between the 50mm or 35mm has not ... [ Read More ]
Relaxed Mum
Relaxed Mum It's not often I get a nice relaxed photo of my Mum. When she sees a camera pointed in her direction she can't seem to help posing. If I want to get a natural looking photo of her I have to be quick and get it before she notices. Last week, on our Sunday walk I managed to get a photo ... [ Read More ]
Autumnal Colours Of A Pomegranate
Autumnal Colours Of A Pomegranate One thing I do miss, living on Zakynthos, is seeing the real colours of autumn. We get an autumn, but it's more like a second spring, with greenery appearing again after the long hot summer. We also see flowers like crocus and cyclamens popping their pretty little ...

Life’s Just Not Fair
Life's Just Not Fair Life's just not fair when you're a dog. Having five dogs in the house means we have our hands full, so it makes sense to have a few ground rules. One of those rules is no big dogs on the furniture. Not unless we let them up. It may seem a little unfair, but the bigger dogs ... [ Read More ]
A Walk From Ano Volimes To Micro Nisi, Zakynthos
A Walk From Ano Volimes To Micro Nisi Last Sunday's walk with the Zakynthos Walking Group was a 9km hike from Ano Volimes to Micro Nisi. It wasn't a particularly difficult walk, but the rough terrain made it a bit hard underfoot. Sometimes I think that walking uphill is actually easier than ... [ Read More ]
A Ginormous Spiders’ Web!
A Ginormous Spiders' Web! This week there was no competition in my mind for what was going to be My Sunday photo. Last Sunday the Zakynthos Walking Group headed out for the first walk of the winter and of course, I took my camera, not forgetting my SD card this time. Let's face it though it wasn't ...

Sea Daffodils
Sea Daffodils Saturdays are not my favourite day of the week. They by far the busiest day of the week for me, but yesterday I thought I would try and make the most of it. Not having a Sunday Photo in mind, I thought I would take the opportunity to take Buddy and my camera with me, to kill some time ... [ Read More ]
How Did That Get Up There?
How Did That Get Up There? Buddy loves to play fetch. Not only will he fetch, but he actually brings the toy back and will try to place it back in my hand. Unfortunately, because his hips aren't good we don't play for too long, which is a shame as he is a joy to play with. Out of all our dogs, ... [ Read More ]
Zakynthos Town At Night
Zakynthos Town At Night It's been a rather photoless week for me, not for any particular reason apart from not having had the time. It's at times like this I realise that there is no such thing as having too many photos backed up as there is always a photo or two to fall back on! This photo of ... [ Read More ]
My Nephew, Finners
My Nephew, Finners Looking back over photos of the summer I came across this one of my nephew, Finners. I love it. He really is a cheeky chappie and it shows. Our family has been 'blessed' with lugholes on a par with a baby elephant. Which can be a blessing as we never lose our glasses or have ... [ Read More ]
Where Horses Trot
Where Horses Trot Back in August, I had an unexpected day off, so what did I do? With camera in hand, I headed down to Lagana/Kalamaki beach to see what I could photograph. I wandered around the sand dunes, snapping random things that caught my eye trying to practice using different focal points ... [ Read More ]
My Mum
My Mum This week I have decided to share a couple of photos of my Mum. They aren't the best, but they do capture the spirit of Mum nicely. She's feisty, cheeky, naughty and 70. She has a heart of gold, is a natural born feeder which probably comes from her Greek side (me and my sister should, by ... [ Read More ]
A Nice River To Boat On
A Nice River To Boat On This river is located on the outskirts of Zante town. It looks quite nice don't you think? Sort of serene and a place where you could imagine dropping a line to catch some tea? Or sitting and reading a book on a warm afternoon? Have a guess what it's called? I mean, the ... [ Read More ]
Never Mess With Fireworks Unless…
Never Mess With Fireworks Unless... It's safe. Is there such a thing? I hear you ask! It's been a few weeks and while I have missed taking part in 'My Sunday Photo', I have enjoyed a few weeks of a go-slow on the blog. So much so that I may just go into a rambling overdrive and we aren't talking ... [ Read More ]
All Was Not As It Seemed
All Was Not As It Seemed Last week I shared photos of the dogs lizarding, saying that the lizards were far too fast for them to catch. This week My Sunday Photos are of a lizard that wasn't quite so fast. Don't worry they aren't gruesome! Lizards have remarkable survival tricks. The one that ... [ Read More ]
