Malta Trail Bench Malta Hikes August 11, 2024 Malta is a great place for hiking. There are miles of trails, most of which afford beautiful views of blue bays below limestone cliffs. This sofa carved from the local stone was a bit of a surprise. It's near the north end of the island, not far from the “Red Fort.” A bench with a view.
Malta Morning Glories In late April and May, the countrysize of Malta is covered with numerous varieties of flowers such as poppies, morning glories and capers. The morning glories come in many bright shades from blue to purple. Brilliant purple morning glory flowers.
Blackberries Hiking along certain trails around Portland in late July through August has its perks. Blackberries ripening on the vine.
Tiger Lilies Among all the flowers one encounters along the trails this time of year, Tiger Lilies are my favorite. A stem full of tiger lilies.
Caper Blossom I became rather enamored of capers when I was in Malta in 2023. They were in full bloom everywhere and appeared startlingly other-worldly. A caper close-up.
Abandoned Building Malta, 2023. The weathered doorway of a tumbling-down building near an old salt pan not far from St Paul's Bay. The door is still intact even though the walls are coming down.
