Back into the lands of forgotten time

Today (after coffee, of course!)

we walked from the village of Souda

- a place surrounded by mountains -

up a dried-up river bed which is part

of the European footpaths network

and up to a high plain, where we found

this ancient tree.

and then on to the next valley overlooking

the ancient ruins of Lessos.

The rains of the past few days

have brought out the mountain flowers -

they are amazing!

 

.. nestled in crevices and spreading colour everywhere.

We returned to Souda for lunch

just avoiding the next downpour!

With all the sun interspersed with rain

there were rainbows everywhere.

 

Rainbows have a habit of telling me where "home" is to be

Was this a sign?

Blessings

PS Yes, lunch!
