Colors of Greece

Greek island photoColors of Greece

After a month long absence from this blog, I am finally back from my summer in Greece! I am fortunate to be able to go home each summer, visit friends and family, and come back with loads of photos and inspiration for new adventures and culinary experiments in the kitchen.

Part of the fun and excitement of coming back is the prospect of sharing it all with you, so I thought I would start today with some island photos -in no particular order- straight from my camera that I hope you enjoy!
