Have it all
It has been a dark and moody day so far, without any rain or cold but with a winterish feel nevertheless. I often complain about the lack of rain and the constant sunshine in my part of the world but the truth is that if I don't see the sun for a couple of days, I feel depressed. As most of the Mediterranean people! And a cloudy day after the rainy one yesterday is already too much for my spoiled temper.
Some sun over here please!
I didn't even went for a walk today. I had some things to do indoors but the main reason was that I find this weather discouraging. So I opened my archives and edited a few pictures that I haven't share before from another cloudy day, two years ago and 240 miles away.
The location is a small village on the north-east side of the island of Crete in Greece. And this is what I had the pleasure of seeing in my daily walks while I was living there. The date is 3/3/2022 and despite the clouds, the rays of sun where enough to illuminate beautifully the first signs of spring!
Even a humble leaf from an olive tree was enough excuse for a picture, as it was shining under the sun! And of course the queen of the flora was the blooming almond tree, as impressive and charming as it can be!
But even the wild flowers were so lovely to see. A simple joy that I miss a bit now that I am living in a town. But I shouldn't be ungrateful. The town offers me a lot more than the village and after all, no-one can have it all!
All the pictures and the words are mine.

I am really really hating being in England - I assure you the lack of sun is far worse than where you are !
Haha I am sure!
If it makes you feel any better we are having the most sunless week of the year :)
Super
Thanks
@fotostef Hello, the images are really good, this is no surprise to me, you are already used to us hahaha, greetings and I hope you are well.
Thank you very much @crisvictorero :)
Cheers!
I feel your pain about the gloom. Being a Texan living in Sweden it has been quite an adjustment (still adjusting) to endure the long harsh and dark dreary Winters here. It feels like the sun hardly ever comes out anymore. We had maybe 2 or 3 days i can recall in the last many weeks of sunshine. It's foggy and dark right now. I vicariously get my fix from looking at all our posts of places that are brighter than where i am. hahaha
I don't think I could ever adjust in northern Europe. Although many of my friends do, I believe that the lack of sun would devastate me. I haven't tried it though. Maybe with the right motivation I could get used to it :)
ME being motivated and adjusting to it....
Great photography of the plants his friend pointed out.
Thank you for stopping by!
Αναρωτιέμαι πώς αντέχουν αυτοί οι άνθρωποι 😬🥶, τους λυπάμαι, όλο σκοτάδι, συννεφιά και υγρασία 😬. Δεν γνωρίζουν άλλο κλίμα και γι'αυτό δεν τους νοιάζει, όταν όμως γνωρίσουν Νότιο Αμερική, Καραϊβική η τον μεσογειακό ανοίγουν τα μάτια τους 😂😂😂. Εγώ άμα δεν δω τον ήλιο δεν μπορώ 🥴. Θυμάμαι ένα κύριο από το χωριό της μαμάς μου, αυτός σπούδασε και έζησε πολλά χρόνια στην Σουηδία, παντρεύτηκε και σουηδέζα, όμως μετά από μερικά χρόνια γύρισε στην Ελλάδα με την οικογένειά του. Τον ρώτησα όταν πήγα στην Ελλάδα πριν λίγα χρόνια και μου είπε ότι η Σουηδία είναι η καλύτερη χώρα σε όλα, όμως αυτό το κλίμα δεν το αντέχει κανένας 😂😂😂😂 είναι πληκτικό και μελαγχολικό 🥺😵, αυτό της τα χαλάει όλα μου είπε χαχαχα, σκέψου, αυτοί χωρίσανε όταν τα παιδιά τους ηντουσαν μικρά και η γυναίκα του έμεινε στην Ελλάδα, δεν γύρισε στην Σουηδία χαχαχα 🤷🏻♀️.
Ναι όλα καλά με τις βόρειες χώρες αλλά αυτό το κλίμα δεν παίζετε! Δεν νομίζω ότι θα άντεχα πάνω από λίγους μήνες :)
😂😂😂😂🥴🤷🏻♀️
