My little Christmas surprise for all of you (pics...)
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.
Bee eater, will come back not before March/April
There were not many butterflies this year
Also for the caper bush you have to wait a bit
But eagles are around all year, long-legged buzzard
and crystals you can find whenever you have time..
or fossils, like this one with a clam
Carpenter fly is still hiding at the moment
as is the chamaeleon, this one walking across the pool
until the fox mum has babies again it will be spring
but the Kotschy's Gecko you can see indoors in winter as well, if you are lucky
and I look forward to see hedgehogs again
an later on it's babies....
will be also the time for the humming hawk moth
and again, you don't have to wait for pyrites, they are there....this one I found last month at Limni
I am already missing the huge Agamen looking for food
or this one having a go at the wasp
very soon it will look green like here at the Ezousa valley
and then the orchids will be there
and Iris even right on the roads
not to forget the spring blossom
or this orchids with the upside down face
another thing which is available all year long: Letymbou church frescoes
or in the same village, Agios Theotokos, which are the oldes frescoes in Paphos district
but what we can enjoy in the winter nights with lightnings and funny cloud formation is also not too bad
except the flash hits your place...
when the next morning is like that, everything is forgotten though
I hope you enjoyed the Christmas show and wish you all Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year 2019

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.
All things are possible

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...
