Feb. 26, 2013 – Atenas

When we returned from our mini trip to the south, the tree beside our house was in full bloom. This is the dry season – we haven’t had rain in months but that’s when many of the trees and bushes bloom in purple, red, orange, and several shades of yellow. I call these pomp-pomp blooms because they remind me of the kleenex “flowers” we used to make in the 60’s to decorate the cars for a wedding.
