Hello guys! Yesterday we went for a day trip to a village, 50 miles away from Thessaloniki, where my father owns a piece of land. We went for some gardening work (I am so tired!) and I took the chance to get some pics!
So here you can see mount Olympus
A closer look to mount Olympus
The sea from the other side and small city of Makrigyalos
This bush is called "Fotinia"
Then I saw this little butterfly
Olive trees and a tall fig tree
Cloudy skies
And I got this pic before leaving. You can see the village and the weather that got worse.
Hope you enjoyed it!
AWH wow it is like I have gone on a holiday , I love your pictures.
I have a Fotinia bush in my garden , olives grow well here as well.
Thanks for sharing, I hope your tired and aching muscles recover soon

Thank you Cathy! I love spring and nature is great this time of year But yeah, all this digging made my back and arms hurt a lot! glad you liked the pics!
Great pics and what a treat to see the famous Mount Olympus!!
It's always good to go back to our roots, I'm a landowner in training too. The land belongs to my grandmother on my mother's side, but now my parents are the ones who manage it, we have our own cork trees and take the cork out of them for selling purposes. Portugal is in the top when it comes to cork exportation and olives too, Portuguese cork is the best in the world.
One day I will inherit the land and the business, for now I will keep on watching and learning how it's done.

Thanks Ana! This is the famous and mythological mountain and the highest in Greece That's very interesting, you know! I've always wondered where the cork is coming from! And I think you'll do a great job one day.. Working in the fields is a tiring job but the results are very rewarding!
