There are actually 96 photos from Ikaria in Flickr which are richly commented so that we have tagged “blogged” and consequently make part of our
Unofficial Guide to Ikaria Island 
(TUGTII)
For the Official Guide to Ikaria Island (and Fournoi) buy our friend Alexia Palesti’s book “ΑΝΕΞΕΡΕΥΝΗΤΗ ΙΚΑΡΙΑ ΚΑΙ ΦΟΥΡΝΟΙ which is a great book…
AND LEAVE US ALONE TO GO ON!

Started with something simple that may also appear naive. I like it. Who can be smart every day? And yet (smartness
the fact that goats can pose and by this they make a good subject for photographers doesn’t mean we have to leave nature to the goats.

and posing isn’t everything. Think of those people that don’t, won’t pose for a photograph. And the animals, those crepuscular creatures that won’t hang around for people…

Yes, that’s one “THREAT” that’s not standing round posing.
“Crepuscular” – I like it – along with “anticrepuscar” of course!
(There isn’t really a more common English word for of-the-dusk, the time between day and night. But of course so many mammals in Europe are crepuscular. They don’t want to pose, they haven’t been domesticated and they just want to get on with their own lives away from the glare of the camera. [It's a thing about the Forêt de Bouconne - most of the action happens after supper time or before breakfast. I do have ambitions for crepuscular forays with the camera, especially in pursuit of the wild boar...])

Hey – I didn’t get moderated; I can be immoderate in my comments. But can spelling mistakes be edited??

You didn’t get moderated because we are connected. I have subscribed to your blog. This feature didn’t work a few weeks ago, was under development or something, but now it does. So you may add as many comments as you like anywhere you like. No, you can’t edit but somewhere in WP there is a speller. Don’t touch “anticrepuscar”! That was great!

Hello!
One of the strangest Greek words is “lycofos” (evening twilight). The etymology is clear enough (from “lyc[lux]” = shine, and “fos” = light). However, “lycos” (apparently from the same root) happens also to be Greek word for “wolf”. The connection remains a mystery. Is it because the wolf comes out at dusk? Is it because its eyes shine in the twilight?
As I wrote this I discovered two blogs offering etymologies:
1) ENGLISH WORDS OF NO APPARENT GREEK ORIGIN
2) English Words of no Apparent Greek Origin
I am leaving you now to go to my own cosy space in this blog and load more photos of my new property.

We are parents. So just imagine, what if “lycofos” came from “The Time of the Wolf”? “The light of the wolf” = the last light of the day when the mothers and the fathers of old Europe were calling their children home because of the wolves?
