My favorite month has ended and it was quite an enjoyable month in terms of weather and activities. But we cannot close things till we look at the most popular Facebook photos for October.
In case some of you do not know, I upload Photos of the day to my Facebook page here. They are slices of life in Greece, things I find of interest. This is my way of saying thank you for your support. However some of you do not follow me on social media and so I have created this monthly series to share the most popular photos with you on the blog.
I have to say that looking back this was quite a strange month full of hodge-podge of photos. And your selections show me just how diverse things were. Lots of colors and a range of landscapes, not to mention textures. Now I'll let the photos do the talking.
This photo was taken while I was visiting the waterfront and photographing the old buildings. This photo depicts a window. The window has a wooden shutter on the inside, which can be seen fainty. At the same time, the glass has captured the reflection of the stone building which is across the road. I guess we can say there are many layers to this photo. And that is why I have chosen it as the bonus photo.
And this officially wraps up the month. I hope you enjoyed the Facebook photos for October, and will visit my photo gallery here for more photography. Now I want to know, which is your favorite for the month?

I really love the sky photos too Keri. It's like an empty canvas that has been written on.

Thank you so much Mary. It really means a lot to hear that because I am struggling with a cheapy camera but I won't give up.

Mary I enjoy all of your photos, but to see them again wrapped up in this series is a treat each month! Thank you for that! I absolutely love them all, but my most favourite one is looking up in the tree! It's stunning and so endless and just dreamy and relaxing at the same time!

That is one view that we don't normally think about Katrin. I love to look up because it is full of surprises. These are fig trees mixed in with another one that is even bigger.

Florence there is so much to see in Greece. All I need is the focus the lens gives me. It helps me to concentrate a bit better.

Thank you so much Debra. I find it fun to see which ones were the most popular. Sometimes they are not what I like the best. But that's ok.

Marjan I was also fascinated with that one. The more I stared at it the more it revealed itself to me.

Oh Michelle you just made my day. The little hobbits. I always watch the LOTR every year at around this time but this year I have just been too busy. Let me see if I can do something about this.

Even though I follow your photos on social media, I always enjoy the recap at the end of each month on your blog. Keep em coming!!! I decided each month I'm going to pick my favorite and this month it is that beautiful sunset.

Marie would you believe me if I told you that even I don't know what I'm going to end up with when I snap a photo. I love being surprised. Sometimes I think this one will look great and then there is the glare which has snuck in from who knows where . Other times I take one which I think is average and then it seems to reveal itself to me. And here I am rambling on....

Thank you so much Lynn for your sweet words of encouragment. I always try to show things that capture my imagination and things that are out of the ordinary, not what you would expect from Greece. Hugs back.

We don't start to feel the winter here till about Mid-November and even then it is still not cold. It rarely gets below freezing in this part of Greece.

When we start lighting the fire in the fireplace, that is when we know that winter is here for us in Greece.

As always, I love all your photos. But that Greece sky is amazing, isn't it? From the sun coming up and shining through the clouds, to a totally cloudy day the sky is just beautiful. I also love the nature pictures, that tree trunk is grooved so neatly. And the bonus picture is pretty fascinating with the building next door being imprinted on the photo. Really cool.

Thank you Nikki. My favorites are the sky. There is so much variety from day to day and it never gets boring. The variation in colors, and the shapes of the clouds, there is always so much to see.
