Thank goodness for the tiny St Paul’s Beach, the only beach in Lindos not packed with sunbeds 🏝️

Additional task: spot the cat in this photo 🐈‍⬛ 🙂

A sunny beach scene with people swimming and relaxing on the sand. There's a rocky shoreline and clear blue water. Boats are anchored in the bay, and potted plants are on the beach. The backdrop features rocky hills under a clear sky.

Cocktails with a view 🍸🏛️

A nighttime view of a coastal village with white buildings, illuminated by warm lights. Above the village, a large, well-lit fortress sits on a hill with the sea visible in the background. Two cocktails with lime and ice on a table at a rooftop bar, with a scenic view of a lit-up city and hill in the background. A small bowl of snacks is next to the drinks, and a couple of modern table lamps provide subtle lighting

Alien landscape

Rocky, arid landscape at sunset with scattered shrubs and trees. A solitary tree stands in the distance under a gradient sky transitioning from blue to pink. Sparse vegetation and dry grass cover the uneven terrain.

Succisa pratensis, also known as devil’s-bit or devil’s-bit scabious, is a flowering plant in the honeysuckle family.

Literally hundreds of these flowers in our garden at the moment. Never noticed them before.

Close-up of a purple scabiosa flower with delicate petals and long stamens, set against a blurred green background. A field with tall grass and numerous small purple flowers, set against a backdrop of dense, green foliage and trees.
