I am a sucker for lichen on trees too.
The Tree That Refused To Die
A while ago somebody chopped this tree down, leaving just the stump. The tree had other ideas though. Shades of Sorceror's Apprentice.
Towards The Tulips
There is a lot of colour about in the countryside at the moment. So you can appreciate why it was such a tragedy to see so much of it go up in smoke last year. We will cover that on the next page though. For now, let's check out the tulip field.
Coming Soon...
While other plants and blossom are appearing early, the tulips appear to be behaving themselves so far. This year's Tulip Festival is at the Metochi Cultural Centre on 30th March.
Lazy Almond
If you were in any doubt that it was almond blossom, here's some proof. A particularly lazy nut from last year's bloom still remains on the tree.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
