Turkish "Blue" Aegean Sea


This is the time of year that I wish I was back in Turkey on a holiday.........sitting in a cafe by the "BLUE" Aegean Sea sipping away some Turkish coffee. (which will really awaken you)....along with some sweet cake with syrup dripping all over. With all that caffeine and sugar rush it sure keeps me going for the rest of the day.......

 These pictures were taken by the Aegean Sea just outside the city of Izmir, my hubby's hometown. I find life so much easier and simpler and 'take it easy' then here in North America......nobody rushes there or speeds anything up. Everybody is friendly, helpful and so hospitable and I never leave anybody's home without a gift.





 These Duckies live here because every year when we return they are here.......they just wander among the people...with not a care in the world except what to nibble on. I noticed everyone also ignores them and when they cross the street the cars stop or go around them...well it's like this here in my city when the Canadian Geese cross the road also.



 "BLUE umbrella......I can't believe how close the tables are to the water. It is quite deep if you fall in.












The Duckies are going home.....and thank you for stopping by.

    It won't be too long before your next visit will it Erica? I expect your cold weather is making you yearn for Turkey. We really must try to meet up when you're here xx

    These are beautiful photos. I can see why it would be so peaceful! Speaking of those Canadian geese we have tons of them here also and they also stop traffic. I'm your newest follower!

    Lovely set of photos. Which bay is that? (We don't know the Izmir region too well, only the city. Looks very peaceful anyway. :)

    Those pics are just so great. They remind me of our marvellous mavi yolculuk or blue cruise in September. The water really IS that blue!
