The road to Caramella canyon in the Ports. There are some houses a bit further up, but we always walk. Today it was mild but hazy.

2012 09 22 Olive Tree Paleokastritsa to Pelekas - Corfu

olive-tree, zakynthos

Back to Kefalonia. From our table one evening at the taverna in Maganos where we had dinner three times.

We drove by these fields on our way to California. We think that they're olive trees but we aren't sure.

At the hills of Inia Village, Paphos, Cyprus.

Olivetrees that have lived many centuries-

if they could talk......

Olivenbäume die viele Jahrhunderte alt sind, wenn die reden könnten.....

Olive trees everywhere... and the best olive oil I've ever had.

Can't wait to pick the first olives... *g*

Ich kann's gar nicht abwarten, die ersten Oliven zu ernten... *g*

Old olive tree in Guaro, Andalucia

You can't have too many photos of olive trees. Each one an individual character!

Plenty of growth after a mild winter and lots of blossom, although we don't expect to be able to eat any olives

OK its on a Thursday. That's because I'll be lacking in internet connectivity tomorrow.

The Riviera had quite a bit snow this week, in fact there is still some on the ground, which is fairly rare. I took a couple of photos of olive trees in snow, which is not what they are used to.

An ancient grove at Notre Dame de Brusc nearby

An odd one this. Some branches have recently died off, while others right next door to them are flourishing with new shoots. You can see this in the adjacent close up photo where there are some lighter green leaves here and there. At first I thought this was merely an example of botched pruning where the pruner had left a few of the cut branches in the tree but that does not appear to be the case as the dead bits are clearly attached to the rest of the tree. Since I go past this young tree quite frequently on my way into the village to buy bread I'll see what happens over the next few months.

Ces petites olives semblent très prisées par cet individu perché sur la cîme de l'arbre.

I grow flowers in my garden, but mostly the property is wild- I let the flowers grow wherever they want....
