CARPETS of the World

In April -May, the ground is covered by a carpet of Wood Anemo throughout southern Sweden. If you want to walk in the woods and not even tramp on the beautiful flowers, it is difficult to put your feet down. They are allowed to pick and put in vase.
This image is a speial one for my friend Mary.

The sunlight was casting the shadow of a tree on a carpet of ‘Dokudami’ in full bloom. Houttuynia cordata (‘Dokudami’ in Japanese) is a common ground-covering weed native to eastern Asia. It is also known as one of the most popular medical herbs in Japan.
A woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 9354

Last light of the day shining on the carpet of autumn leaves.
Taking a late afternoon walk has its rewards even if it means getting caught in rush-hour traffic on the way home.
Kind of like a tightrope walker, this tiny gray bug was moving along the top of an unfolding hibiscus petal. It turned out to be a little beetle, apparently a "variegated carpet beetle." I don't know about the garden, but apparently we really don't want them to get into the house...
Πολλές φορές περπατώντας στις πόλεις, το τσιμέντο με πλακώνει. Ψάχνω να βρω λίγο χρώμα. Οι πολυκατοικίες μοιάζουν με άχαρα κουτιά. Αυτό που μου αρέσει, όμως, είναι πως μερικές φορές πετυχαίνω μέσα στα τσιμέντα και λίγο χρώμα. Μπορεί να είναι μια απλωμένη, πολύχρωμη κουβέρτα, ένα χαλί, γλάστρες…Έτσι έφτιαξα ένα άλμπουμ με τέτοιες φωτογραφίες. Σκέφτομαι…Πόσο όμορφες θα ήταν οι πόλεις μας, αν έμοιαζαν με αυτήν που μας τραγουδά ο Ζακ Στεφάνου!
Many times walking in the cities, the cement view makes me feel bad. I'm looking for some color. Apartment buildings look like ugly boxes. But what I like is that sometimes I find in apartments a little color. It can be a colorful blanket, a carpet, flower pots… So I made an album with such photos. I’m thinking... How beautiful our cities would be if they looked like the one that Jacques Stefanou sings to us!

~~~Η πόλη των χρωμάτων~~~
Όμορφη μου πόλη
έχεις γίνει γκρι και φεύγουν όλοι
βόλτα στις ταράτσες
βγαίνω το πρωί σε βλέπω όλη
γκρι είναι οι δρόμοι
γκρι κι όλοι αυτοί
που περπατάνε
μες τα γκρίζα σπίτια τους
γκρι θα μιλούν γκρι θα αγαπάνε
Μα δε σ' αφήνω γλυκιά μου πόλη
νοικιάζω αεροπλάνο
σημάδι κάνω στο χάρτη
Παίρνω μαζί μου ουράνια τόξα
αυτή μου η λόξα γεμίζει με δόξα
το πάρτι
Κόκκινα πράσινα κίτρινα μπλε
σπίτια στους δρόμους
και αστυνόμους μπορντό
Παντού χαμόγελα
και χρώμα στα μαλλιά και τους ώμους
και ένας σκύλος καρό
Πορτοκαλί τα πεζοδρόμια
και οι τοίχοι γαλάζιοι
και τα περίπτερα ροζ
αυτή η πόλη κάθε μέρα μπορεί να αλλάζει
και να γεμίζει με φως
Όμορφη μου πόλη
γίνανε οι δρόμοι σου λιβάδια
οι πλατείες λίμνες και όλα τα σκουπίδια
πολύχρωμα ψάρια
τα αμάξια δέντρα και οι μηχανές
λουλούδια
όμορφη μου πόλη γίνανε οι κόρνες σου
τραγούδια
Και τότε όλοι
γλυκιά μου πόλη
και εκείνοι που κάθονται
κι αυτοί που όλη μέρα δουλεύουν
Καρδιές παράθυρα
και πόρτες ανοίγουν
πετάγονται έξω
γελούν τραγουδούν και χορεύουν
Κόκκινα πράσινα κίτρινα μπλε
σπίτια στους δρόμους
και αστυνόμους μπορντό
Παντού χαμόγελα
και χρώμα στα μαλλιά και τους ώμους
και ένας σκύλος καρό
Πορτοκαλί τα πεζοδρόμια
και οι τοίχοι γαλάζιοι
και τα περίπτερα ροζ
αυτή η πόλη κάθε μέρα μπορεί να αλλάζει
και να γεμίζει με φως

Garn Boduan is an Iron Age hillfort and hill near Nefyn, on the Llŷn Peninsula in Wales. In a survey in the 1950s the traces of over 170 round houses were identified on this site, and around 100 round houses are still visible on the ground. Between 100 and 400 people may have lived in this fort.
