Plane on roof!

DSCN1933 [Plane on roof]

 No, no, don’t be confused. This is not a plane landing on JFK airport in New York.☺

It’s only a snapshot of an unusual subject that I took in a village in Northern Greece quite some years ago.

A common Ophrys that appears in large populations in southern mainland of Greece and Ionian and Aegean islands.

It normally flowers in March and April but for some reason every year it appears as early as January on a specific spot on Mt. Hymittos where the above pictures were taken on January 14 this year. [2023]

My first flower shots in 2023. Looking forward to more - hopefully soon!

Keep an open eye and don’t miss them!

 

All photographed with a mobile in Anthusa (Attica) on January 3.
