Spring in Antalya?

Spring in Antalya 4

I’m confused— it’s still February, and yet it’s been sunny and warm for over a week, maybe even two weeks. We’ve had temperatures which rival those of summer in some countries, and I’ve even been tempted to go down to the beach (though I’m certainly not brave enough for sea water yet). I remember a stand-up act from years ago in which a comedian joked “global warming: that’s when the weather’s brillant.” I have to admit, I’m wondering what the cause of all this distinctly spring-like weather is. I’m certainly not complaining; Antalya’s gorgeous when the sun is out.

The above photo was taking by my friend UÄŸur, who is a very talented local photographer— you can check out his amazing work here.

Summer’s on its way, folks.

    It’s been strangely warm here for a couple of weeks as well and the daffodils are up. I was rather hoping for one more snow, but it doesn’t look like I’ll get it. 😉

    Now I’m caught up in dA. You keep distracting me from housework!
