Oh, Daisy! That's simply breathtaking and incredibly beautiful. What a view!

Happily living vicariously through your rose garden photos! You are truly blessed and have the best views! I love all your photos.

What a view! That’s exactly what pergolas are made for, to grow a beautiful rose on while framing a beautiful view. Views don’t come more beautiful than that! Lisa

Daisy, your setting and garden are fantastic. Thank you for the lovely photos.

Oh wow ! I agree with everyone's saying...what a view. You can enjoy sunrise and sunsets. It must be so breathtaking that I can imagine..

Thank you for the pics. Love it.

That is heaven right there. What rose is gracing that pergola?

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing a little bit of your heaven.

Feel free to post more pics! Lots more! haha

That is a piece of Eden, Daisy, especially considering the garden from which you are looking at this wonderful view. If I had 5 million dollars I might be able to have something similar here in Southern California.

Beautiful view, very soothing and calming. And a very neatly trimmed hedge, which drew my eye immediately because I am in the process of trimming mine. It has grown too tall to reach it all and DH says no ladder (it is a two way slope, both to the South and West with the hedge running East to West). He says he cannot deal with a broken hip, mine. Early next Spring I will bring it down a foot or so, "God willing and the Creek don't rise" as they say. BTW the "Creek" meant was the Indian tribe.

How gorgeous!

Careful on that ladder daisy.. Ladders, glorious views and cameras do not go well together..

Splendid view!

Glorious.

Who wouldn't want that?... just lovely Daisy, and I also noticed the hedge, with the sea views it reminded me of a Cornish setting, I know you'll know what I mean as you once lived there too.

I am lucky. Crete is so beautiful. I know what you mean Marlorena, Cornwall, in some ways is very similar.

The hedge is olive tree plants. They make a good hedge. Cath be careful. your hedge sounds very tricky to trim. Don't go anywhere near a ladder.

I am useless on ladders Nik, any higher than the second rung and I wobble like a jelly.

Here is a photo from a little further back, under the pergola.

and a couple of summery ones, looking the other way.

Vaporac, the rose is Teasing Georgia.

and a couple I just now took out of my bedroom window.

Indeed, one can create a good hedge or topiary with olive trees (although to a local it may sound like sacriledge..).
Especially if one uses the small leaved wild olive tree Olea sylvestris,
usually used as a rootstock but being very common in Crete, rather than
Olea europaea.

Oh my goodness....The blue of the sea is incredible.

Daisy, the photos are all just gob-smackingly beautiful, though my absolute favourite is the third one down. It is delectable.

Unbelievable, Daisy. You seem to have created paradise.
