Little Sister: Curiosity


(1. jacquelynlee, 2. ArtMind, 3. our shop, 4. Champignons )


Curiosity is where it all began, to find out little things about others is a daily activity for many. Don't we all look in a window when there are no curtains while passing by? Don't we all wonder what that sound was behind that door? My curiosity started the Little Sister series (instead of Big Brother), this week I haven't contacted anyone, instead I hope that EVERYONE who reads this post is willing to show a picture of themselves, and I will post it here in this blogpost.

A walk in the country


On sunday we went to have breakfast at our favorite spot by the pond, and then walked a few kilometers back to the main road.


It is spring. By the lemon trees you can see the beginning of the blossoms together with the remnants of last years fruit.


This village is a mere 15 km or so from Marmaris, but still has all rural charms, like overcrossing cattle.


Isn't it idyllic?


The bee hives are getting a paint job for the coming season.



Wild flower and pine honey is a source of income to many.



We are totally ignorant when it comes to identify fruit trees by their blossoms. Almonds, maybe?


This is just the parcel for us, and it is for sale. Alas the price for living in paradise is far out our reach.


It is weird, but despite the healthy air and plentiful food, people still die here. They lie to rest in great style, though.


The poplars are still in winter sleep.



Those are some happy chicks!



And happy cows too!


Who wouldn't want to live here?


The turism is creeping here too, of course, but paintball??


And a pretty little mosque...

Hope you enjoyed our walk, just like we did.
