Here we are again at the beginning of October and I am all set to share with you all my "photos of the day" that I upload on Facebook every month. These of course are from the month of September. And they were all picked by you!
This is my way of saying "thank you" to all of my followers. I have added the whole series on the bottom of this post.
This past month was a very strange one. I call it my Murphy's Law month because that is exactly what was going on - between finishing the small apartment and getting ready for the move it was chaos around here.
Of course these beauties showed you the calm that did not prevail in my house.
We also had quite a few last minute trips to the big city to take care of some paperwork.
Green is always so relaxing...
As are the pebbles in the water...
A quick view from the overpass looking towards the town.
And a tiny bit of fall sneaking in.
The road to the beach with lots and lots of olive and lemon trees along the way.
I love the contrasts of this one!
And the most popular... who would of thought train tracks can be so cool?

The sign right before we left for the airport.
My personal favorite... simply because I was not expecting to see this flash of blue. We were strolling along a walkway next to the beach and there was this opening that had these stairs leading up to a restaurant higher up.
The second bonus so we can all remember just why we love Greece so much. Even if it is too hot for me most of the time! ;)

I love your fave too -- and those pretty white flowers by the stone wall. What a wonderful eye to catch and frame it that way!

I am so going to miss these amazing photos of Greece. How am I going to get through the months without beautiful beach photos? I know we'll be treated to amazing photographs of NY. On my bucket list is to visit NY City during the holidays and so can I make a request? Please, pretty please with a cherry on top, can we be treated to a photo collage of NY City lit up for the holidays?

Well, I still have plenty of photos from Greece but I'm sure I can accommodate you my dear friend. I just need to get my butt down to Manhattan. Which will not be painful at all.

Your photos are great and so creative. You can find a photo opportunity everywhere. Who would have thought that old blue stairs could be so lovely and interesting.

I know what you mean about those stairs. The most ordinary thing becomes extra-ordinary when it is focused on.

All lovely photos Mary! I still love seeing the blue water. It looks so peaceful and relaxing. But my favorite is the blue steps leading up the rock hallway.

For a bit I'd thought I'd lost my mind - there was advertising to visit Beaufort NC, and then your photos of Greece. I've been to Beaufort, and was puzzled to see mountains in those shots - it took me a moment to realize my error!

Kim it is paradise in Greece. The water is crystal clear and the sky is blue...at least most of the time.

Mary, I'm always so calm and relaxed after looking at your photos. Greece is gorgeous. And I love the photo of the flower against the graffiti and the train tracks. So cool. I love them all though and it's always a toss up for my favorite. Can't wait to see how this evolves after the move, big changes, but your photography talent will prevail. I love seeing what you do when you look through the lens.
