The flowering desert is happening AGAIN this year!!!

There has been a record amount of rain in the southern Atacama. We will once again be offering this flash tour to anyone wishing to experience a phenomenon that only comes around every few years or so, even if this is a rare instance of back-to-back years.

A wonderful country—Romania. 🇷🇴

Great plants, colourful meadows, spectacular gorges and mountain peaks, delicious fruits and papanași, traditional villages, and magnificent horses.

Our tour has just come to an end, and we’re already looking forward to returning to this beautiful country soon.

Daha dün gibi senin çocukluğunu hatırlıyorum, bir göz açıp kapattım, sen şimdi neredeyse bir yetişkin oldun… neredeyse.

Hep kendin kalacağın, seni hep ileri götürecek dostlarla çevrili nice yıllar diliyorum canımın içi oğlum… Merlin’im ♥️

t feels like just yesterday I was remembering your childhood, and in the blink of an eye, you’re now almost an adult… almost.

I wish you many more years of staying true to yourself, surrounded by friends who bring out the best in you, my darling son… my Merlin ♥️

Last day took us up Mount Voras. Wasn’t quite prepared for the crocuses. 🌱
Millions of them. Covering the slopes as far as you could see. One of those things that’s difficult to photograph properly because the scale of it just doesn’t translate.
A good way to end the trip.

Delphi morning to afternoon — two very different kinds of looking. 🌿
Spent the first half of the day on the archaeological site itself, then moved out into the surrounding fields after lunch. That’s where the orchids were — scattered through the grass on the near slopes, flowering quietly away from most of the foot traffic.
Easy to walk straight past if you’re not paying attention.
We photographed as many as we could — will sit down with the books later and try to work out what we were actually looking at. Speices, varieties, hybrids, dividers, lumpers.. very confusing 🫤

🌿 Where the gods once roamed, the wildflowers still bloom. ✨
Yesterday we wandered the sacred slopes of Mt. Parnassos, and nature did not disappoint. Limestone outcrops covered in cushion plants, aromatic herbs everywhere underfoot and exciting bulbs.
