I took this photo back in the late 1980’s I believe (may also have been early 1990 or 91), with a Yashica SLR camera but I don’t recall any other details – lens, aperture, shutter speed, etc but I probably have it written down in a notebook somewhere. The photo was a bit of an …
I don’t live very close to any convenience stores although before I moved here, there used to be one close by apparently but has since closed up. There is a friendly small convenience store about 5 km away towards Keratea, but they are only open until 6PM, so I thought if I needed anything in …
It’s not the clearest or best quality photo but mostly I took it to figure out what I was looking at out in the distance on the sea, towards the Island of Kea. I had been looking out when I spotted what appeared to be an odd-shaped craft that had me curious. My cheap binoculars …

Artichokes are something I didn’t know much about until last year – although I’ve seen them for sale in grocery stores back in North America, I had no clue that they were produced from a big plant that is actually a thistle. When I moved into this house a year and a half ago, the …
It has been a very cool May in these parts; normally I’d be wearing shorts and short sleeves by at least the second week of the month. This year however, we have continued to see night time temperatures down to as low as 10C, with day time highs rarely getting above 22. The past few …

I don’t think Liam Neeson has too much to worry about in regard to the next rising up an coming Northern Irish born actor – but who knows? This past weekend, I played the role of Prince Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece at the Exarchos Carnival. I really wasn’t sure what I was getting myself …

It’s not a great photo, but the best I could do at the time. We had arrived in Exarchos the evening before, and on Friday, decided to head out of the village to check on the olive grove and see how things were there at the end of February. While driving along the road, I …
They have been through so much: Gale force winds, snow, ice pellets, a few nights of below freezing temperatures. Yet these tomato plants keep living and growing! Back in August, I was looking at the average temperatures for the coming months in my area and was curious if I could sew some tomato seeds at …
