On a short ferryboat ride to the Island of Elafonisos, Greece I captured this image of mooring rope twisted around two rusted blue bollards. The vibrant medley of blues in the sea, sky, and boat caught my attention. As I look at the image now, I feel like I’m once again on the ferryboat gazing out…

Summer Blooms on the Island of Paros

Cycladic Style
Curved walls and an archway soften the look of this traditional white-washed home on the island of Paros. It’s a place I’d like to call home.

Chora – Island of Kythira, Greece
The Craggy Coastline of Kythira
Kythira is my favorite kind of Greek island. It’s off the beaten path. It’s rural with plenty of small seaside and countryside villages, and it’s relatively free of tourists. It’s a place where the ravages of the sun, wind, rain, and sea have created dreamy secluded beaches and at the same time, lonely swathes of…
Empty Doorways of Greece
If you follow my blog, you have have realized by now that I love to photograph doors and participate with other like-minded souls in a weekly feature called Thursday Doors. This week I’m having a little fun sharing photos of doorways without doors which is not an uncommon sight in the countryside and old villages…

The Doors of Aroniadika
The island of Kythira has a low-key rural vibe that has drawn us back to the island again and again over the years. While we gravitate to the seaside villages and beaches, we can’t help but also explore the inland villages filled with rustic charm. At times our curious nature for exploring the small villages…

The Cats of Greece
These lucky cats call Greece home. The cats look relaxed, clean, and to appearances, well-fed. Cats living the good life under the Grecian sun. A variety of animal welfare societies in Greece have a trap, neuter, and return (TNR) program, recognized to be a humane method of decreasing the stray cat population. I’ve noticed the…
