I watched a summer storm approach the island on Tuesday. After short but intense rainfall, the skies cleared and the sun came out.
Early morning mise over the seas around Jelsa and Vrboska and the Dinaric Alps in the distance, make a timeless scene on Stari Grad Plain
There are a few visiting yachts moored in Stari Grad harbour. However it is nowhere near the number normally seen at this time of year. Also there is not a single “superyacht” which is very unusual.
A walk in the Maquis, just as the sun breasts the ridge line is one of the pleasures of life in Dol
I have planted several varieties of Passion Flower, including this variety Rubra.
As I walk outside every morning in high summer, I am greeted by the heady scent of Jasmine.
I have Dragon Arum in flower at the moment. They look beautiful but smell dreadful!
