This lucky dog is chillin’ on the Island of Hydra. Only a short ferry ride from Athens, Hydra is motor vehicle free. All transport is done on foot, by boat, or by donkey.
Oddly, we were just to the opening exhibition on N. Gkikas, J. Craxton and P. Leigh-Fermor at the Benaki Museum and many of the paintings by Gkikas and Craxton are of Hydra – most in the cubist style. The three men were long-time friends and spent a lot of creative time on the island. Made me long to go there. Looks like a fabulous and interesting island.
What a coincidence! We’ve taken several day trips to Hydra and spent a long weekend there many years ago. It’s one of my favorite islands, though I seem to say that about all of them. Looking at past photos of Hydra makes me long to go back.
Biiig <3.
Happy Wednesday. What does “Biig” mean? Cheers.
Ohh, have a look, next to “biiig” there is a heart, maybe it doesn’t display? A big heart for this dog. And I said biiiig to emphasise that. 🙂
So sweet. Didn’t see the heart. I second a BIG heart for the doggie.
Ok. I see the heart on the blog post. It didn’t show up on the comment approval feed. Mystery solved. Thanks for the sweet comment!
