I thought you would like to see again some of my photo highlights this year from my gallery...as little Christmas pressie :)

Perhaps we will get snow again, like this year January, in front new Pentalia village, distance Olympos peak 36 km.
Image

Bee eater, will come back not before March/April
Image

There were not many butterflies this year
Image

Also for the caper bush you have to wait a bit
Image

But eagles are around all year, long-legged buzzard
Image

and crystals you can find whenever you have time..
Image

or fossils, like this one with a clam
Image

Carpenter fly is still hiding at the moment
Image

as is the chamaeleon, this one walking across the pool
Image

until the fox mum has babies again it will be spring
Image

but the Kotschy's Gecko you can see indoors in winter as well, if you are lucky
Image

and I look forward to see hedgehogs again
Image

an later on it's babies....
Image

will be also the time for the humming hawk moth
Image

and again, you don't have to wait for pyrites, they are there....this one I found last month at Limni
Image

I am already missing the huge Agamen looking for food
Image

or this one having a go at the wasp
Image

very soon it will look green like here at the Ezousa valley
Image

and then the orchids will be there
Image

and Iris even right on the roads
Image

not to forget the spring blossom
Image

or this orchids with the upside down face
Image

another thing which is available all year long: Letymbou church frescoes
Image

or in the same village, Agios Theotokos, which are the oldes frescoes in Paphos district
Image

but what we can enjoy in the winter nights with lightnings and funny cloud formation is also not too bad
Image

except the flash hits your place...
Image

when the next morning is like that, everything is forgotten though
Image

I hope you enjoyed the Christmas show and wish you all Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year 2019

Max

Great photos thank you.

What an incredible island Cyprus 🇨🇾 is!

The variety of fauna, flora and geology is stunning. Good of you to capture it all so adept.

I say old chap. That was jolly decent of you to share those most exploratory photographs. Most enjoyable if I may say so.

Thank you for all your nice comments which gives me a large boost to continue posting, mainly photos, by restraining from politics.. ;) and if you fed up with the weather currently than don't forget it is winter and we need desperately much more rain to avoid Cyprus gets too early a desert...

Here a pic, a couple of days ago and a reason why I am up every morning before sunrise not to miss these nice moods...
