Thank you dear @dswigle! Breath in the beauty, yes! Cause only beauty can save us, right?
It is like a totally different place! It was full of anemones, then daisies, now pretty much nothing, haha!
Purple bougainvillea here is quite common. Especially in my hometown, which is the city of bougainvillea :) I love them in any color!
Markos likes cats, but as a hunting dog, he is attracted by any move. If they stay still (they have to be very brave, haha!) he has great respect of cats and he will try to approach them and play or just ignore them. If they move, then this is a game and he will chase them! He is harmless though, just a bit clumsy and too much excited.
Thank you for your very beautiful comment, always makes my day :)
