... something a little different, from the Mediterranean coast ... away at a conference, sneaking in a little time for some photography ... didn't bring my tripod, what better excuse could there be to try some ICM? have been toying around with it for a while, been completely inspired by the fantastic photos from some of my flickr friends, you know who you are, thanks for the inspiration!
ps: if you had one day in Paris, where would you go? ... I've been to Paris earlier, so don't need to see the touristy sights
... haven't been around flickr too much ... hopefully next week
This beautiful Portuguese squill seems to thrive on warm days and limited water -- this is the first time it has bloomed in at least 10 years. It is native to the western Mediterranean region in Iberia, Italy, and northwest Africa.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

Borage is native to the Mediterranean region and has naturalized in many other locales. Already during the middle ages, the plant has been cultivated in Central Europe. Since then, it has made it's way further north and into other parts of the world, notable North America. The flower, which is know for its blue colour, is actually rose coloured at first but turns blue over time.

Various countries in the Mediterranean Sea were captured last 10 May by the Sentinel-3A satellite, in this false-colour image.
Parts of Greece, Turkey and Libya are featured, showing their distinct relief differences. In the middle of the image is the Greek island of Crete, dominated by harsh mountains rising out of the sea.
Home to hundreds of migratory bird species and some small wild animals, the landscape of Crete is characterised by mountain ranges reaching some 2400 m, along with natural harbours, coastal plains and the typical Mediterranean scrub.
Northwest of Crete is a large part of Greece’s mainland, showing dense vegetation and agricultural landscape, while under the clouds a small part of Italy’s ‘heel and tip’ are visible.
At top right, parts of southwestern Turkey are distinct, indicating a mixture of agricultural landscape and mountainous regions, where bare soil and rock formations prevail.
At the bottom of the image, Libya’s arid desert is evident, with the Saharan plateau comprising some nine-tenths of the country, making it truly a sea of sand.
Launched last 16 February, Sentinel-3A carries four instruments working together, making it the most complex of all the Sentinel missions. Its Ocean and Land Colour Instrument offers a new eye on Earth, monitoring ocean ecosystems, supporting crop management and agriculture, and providing estimates of atmospheric aerosol and clouds – all of which will bring significant benefits to society.
