The pioneers
There is a furious south wind howling outside, filling the old house with all kind of weird noises. It is the kind of wind that really gets to my nerves, accelerate my heart rate and makes it hard to concentrate to anything. So I am starting this post with some shots of the most adorable creatures of the village. Stray cats are by far the most calming animals around here and although I don't have one of them on my lap, I hope that the pictures that I took a couple of days ago, will do the trick!
On the other hand, the olive tree below had a hard time during the pruning season but it reminded me so much the Ents, the walking trees in the Lord of the Rings, that I couldn't resist the urge of capturing it :)
The spring flowers are not here yet but the few that are blooming are just a delightful sight. Those small daisies are all over the place, forming a lovely white carpet on the fields.

But there are more, even smaller than the daisies. Those purple little buggers, are really tiny, growing on the edges of the dirty road. You can only see a splash of colour from afar and only when you get very close, you can actually distinguish their miniature petals.
Luckily I had a macro lens with me :)

Of course the almond trees are the pioneers of winter blooming, how could I not mention them! I have already dedicate a whole post to their delightful blossom but a few more shots never hurt :)
If you want to see more of them you can check out my previous post, called The most warm welcome!
Last, but by no means least, is the view. Not the most scenic one or the most glorious day but I'll use it as an epilogue, nevertheless!
And since it is Sunday, this is my contribution to #SublimeSunday inspired by @c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday initiated by @ace108.
Have a great week!

Super
Thanks!
Those cats look pretty laid back, for sure. Those almond trees are pretty fantastic, too!
Indeed!
Thank you for checking them out :)
That olive tree looks quite old but not as old as the century old one I saw in the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore
Yes, this one should be just above 100 years old. There is another one a few kilometres away that is more than 3.000 years old! Olive trees are practically immortal :)
That's old for any tree.

So amazing pictures
I am glad you like them :)
OMG, these two four-legged guys are gorgeous!! Beautiful ones!
I mean, I like the flowers too hahah, but those eyes and faces are sublime!
Haha you are right! Actually it was only those two that I wanted to share and I just added the flowers to give to the post a descent size :)
I would just repeat 10 times the same cat photos...
haha, just kidding, of course :))
Have a great week @fotostef nad a hug to @traisto 🤗
Loved this post, but the daisies in February especially, as I finally look out on cold and snow here in New England.
Yes, they are lovely! This year we had no snow at all over here (most years we don't), so I think we'll go straight to spring!
Hey, do you really like to glare at the camera,??
I really like the picture of the cat looking at the camera from up in the tree.
I am glad you like it!
Thank you for stopping by :)
