Yiassou my friends!
I am so sorry that you all must wait so long!
But my Computer was broken :-(
I made everything new and that was a lot of work
and I must wait for a friend to help me with that.
I am back home now since 4 weeks :-( Ahhhhh "Cry" :'(
But I had again a really lovely time, with lovely friends around me :-)
3 ½ weeek, I can't believe, the time run so fast!
But long enough to meet a lot of lovely people from the Forum!
It was fantastic! Thank you that I had the chance for a nice chat with you all :-)
But I would not be Marika, even if I had bring along you no photos :-)
Sooo, here are the first ones :-)
Much fun!
With lot of love

marika
as lovely as ever and the photo,s are great lol............yammas...
Hi Marika, Nice to have you back on board and to see the lovely photo's. Love Viv
Welcome back to the forum, Marika!
Spectacular photos, just love 'em all.......
lynn xx
yes kev. So agree. The last two took my breath away. Posters soon? will be in touch Marika - have a new space on the wall....
Marika, when Jen said "there's someone you need to meet in Alex supermarket" I started worrying. I thought "what have I done now? Who have I offended..." and then it was you! I was sure you weren't going to come home to Arillas this year, and then there you were! As beautiful as ever, no make-up, baseball cap. We caused quite a blockage as we hugged and chatted by the check-out. But I didn't care and neither did you. It is a moment I will never forget.
And then several chats in the road with you on your motorbike. And with Della in the Akti. I have posted the pic of yous two there. I have dubbed you two the Arillas Film Stars. Well, you certainly added the glamour to our time in July.
So looking forward to more pictures.
loveandhugs
PhilandJen
(http://bestsmileys.com/happy/3.gif)Thank you very very much! It is nice to be back here on board (http://bestsmileys.com/happy/1.gif)
HaHaHa! PhilandJen you so lovely!
Absolutly incocnito with my cap, hahaha, no make up, beach clothes, hahaha!
Different to the night time, but this is what I like :-)
Not worry about how I look :-)
I love it to bring you all Arillas a bit closer!
It was really a last minute trip this year!
I was so sure (99,9%) that I can't come to Corfu this year.
But I had luck! Puhhh!
I really will missed something, when I had not the chance to come!
You all know, it is my second home :-)
With lots of love

justphil justloves that picture. The walking woman could be a cartoon. The sunset and the tree, islands in the background, Marika it is gorgeous.
Phil
Hi Marika
Remember the evening when we were in Portofino, and were taking sunset pictures from the roadside, I wish mine were as good as yours, but I know yours are the best so I will not try to compete.
What a surprise to meet up with you in Arillas
We so enjoyed our little chats.
Thanks for being part of our holiday.
Love from Dot & John
Hi Marika so pleased your computer is now better! What super super photos - keep them coming!
Janis x
John and Dot, yous already know how much we loved your company. And when Marika arrived it felt complete. But I guess that is it. Whenever we go, there will be a long list of missings.
Maybe next year Jen and me will see everyone, and be there from April to November. That is our hope.
Phil
What beautiful pictures again Marika! Glad you made it to Arillas this summer :)
What can I say Marika, apart from ......
I am so glad you went to Arillas.
I am so pleased that we met, at last. You are a really lovely young lady.
And lastly, thanks for posting the photographs that are just beautiful and incredibly artistic. It was worth the wait to see them, and can we have some MORE !!!!!!!!! please.
Terry
Its great to have you back on here Marika, the photos were worth the wait, they are stunning.

But I think yours are also good :-)

Parakallo :-) It is nice to be a part of your holiday :-)
And you also a part of mine!

ahhhhhhhhh just beautiful again Marika........will be sampling some of that 3 weeks monday...
riggers...
Marika luvver, your picture of Marina Pool Bar is breathtaking. Sharon and Kerry need to get a huge copy of it and put it up by the bar area in a gorgeous frame. It is amazing. We must make sure they see it.
If we get back to doing posters, I have first order on that one. We have a space on our wall waiting for it.
Thank you again for sharing it with us.
Phil
Marika , once again you show a special talent !
Fantastiche !
marika
i agree with phil ,as when i stay at the marina next year,and swim up to the pool bar what a fab picture to see,,,,,,,,,,yammas ...xx
Agreement here also, Phil and Kevin, the marina pool bar is particularly breathtaking.
Now lets see, do I have a blank space of wall, or should I just take a few old paintings down and swap them round a bit to make a gap...... Hmm may have to get back to you on that one, Marika, lol.
love,
lynn xx
Thank you very much PhilandJen, riggers, Kevin, Barry and Lynn :-) :-) :-)
PhilandJen and Lynn, that will be no problem, whichone you like :-)
Will be a very good idea, with the photo at the pool bar :-)

Lynn dearest, would that be the Picasso or the Rembrandt you have to take down???
Personally I would sell it and go and live in Arillas on the proceeds. Dream on Phil....
lmao
So would I, Phil, if I had anything worth that much!! Cheap copies of Constable are more my mark....... :)
lynn xx

That is all! I only can tell you, you must have the right view!
Nothing else!
x x x x
But Marika luvver, when you look through the viewfinder, you see things that only you can see. Then you show the rest of us what we have missed. That is photography. That is art. That is you. Forget my words, just keep doing it. Thank you for sharing it with us on the forum.

Hi Marika,
Thank you for sharing those absolutely stunning photos!!
Connie. Denmark
STUNNING Marika as always!
The intimate, dimly lit image of the couch, backlit and just there waiting... A beautiful woman walks slowly over to it and gently lies down, waiting for her lover. He arrives and showers her in kisses.....
What am I on about? That picture was amazing Marika. To most it would be nothing. As you can tell, it gave me inspiration. Absolutely beautiful.
Phil
Marika - your photos are so, so beautiful - well done! x
Hi Marika and Phil,
I agree with everything you both said. Photography can be an art and a skill, but
what really matters is the ability to SEE, and you certainly have that gift Marika!
Thank you once again for sharing with all of us.
Love Connie x
Marika

I am now totally intrigued...Dimitris, can you answer?
Lovely pic's as always Marika :)
Last year we went round in a boat to do a bit of snorkelling round the island but unfortunately it was too choppy to get in close with the boat.
Look's a lot calmer on Marika's photo's.
Beautiful piccy's again Marika !
