Aphrodite’s Month – April Wrap Up

Friday, May 28th, 2010

With some delay, and just before the Memorial holiday, the photo collection of the month of April.

The name April has several meanings/origins. From Greek Aphro, short for Aphrodite. Now, Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love and beauty. She is identified with the Roman goddess Venus. So one could now say April is the month of love. OK enough of that.
