On a hot, dusty day in early June I visited a beautiful, old castle that looked out onto the Meditereanian from Pylos on the Greek coast. Wildflowers were everywhere and I took manyphotographs as I walked through the ruins.

Clusters of deep pink Convolvulus

Wild Caper

The capers grow in clumps on the castle walls

Yellow Thistles

Many Mullen plants scattered in the open spaces

A blue butterfly

And large numbers of the strange and delicate Thread-wing Antlions on Lacecaps

Not sure what kind of butterfly this is below

Wild Sage – smelt wonderful

Chicory

Looking out over the ocean from the castle ruins
