I have never been to the Mediterranean in springtime.
This was an amazing Spring Festival of so many things I have never seen before.
Many of the plants were identified afterwards

not
Sitting quietly in various corners of fields and hillsides
trying to take it all in.

Please forgive any misidentifications or lack of precision
the photographer in me took over.
