We walked down to the sea last night at 8pm. There was not a hint of sunset in the sky. It looked like the middle of the day. I still can't believe I live here on such a beautiful island.
The locals have these nice big barbecues out for all to enjoy and the whole neighborhood shows up for a huge midsummer picnic and bonfire. I thought these barbecues looked like a couple of alien creatures going for a stroll by the water.
We passed these roses that grow wild everywhere. In the right hand corner you can see how big and fat the rosehips are. I was disappointed when I tried to harvest them one fall to make rosehip jam as they have no pulp to speak of. I don't know if these roses are escapees or truly wild.
I just love these tall yellow flowers growing in clusters everywhere. Someone told me they are escapees and are called "outlaws".
And here is our naughty kitty making sure we know the way home. She used to walk all the way down to the sea with us but we don't let her do that anymore as she thinks she has superpowers and can walk in front of cars and buses and make them stop.
