Another mighty fun gallery put together for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, ending with my favourite twisty image of all times.
I clearly remember posting several twists of fate already, including the last shot of today. It was the post Simple twists of May 2017 when I lost my front tooth to chicken. Today I add several fresh photos, the majority of which are from this year.
In the meantime I have just read an interesting post by Amanda about blogging and journaling. This was my comment:
“Interesting subject. I kept regular diaries between ages 11-15, which I took with me upon moving to Tuscany just because I’d be sooo ashamed if somebody found them. Between ages 16-25 (approximately) I kept a scrap book where I collected sayings, song lyrics, one-line descriptions of my days. After that – nothing. Only at age 44, eight years ago, I started blogging and my blog is my diary and my scrap book in one. Last May I started to include blogging memories at the end of my daily post, looking back at all my posts from the same day in history. I know that nobody reads old posts, and I don’t think many click on the links to read mine, but I do. It’s been really eye-opening. At the beginning I was SO much more upbeat, bubbly, chatty, I told the world so much more than now when I merely show photos with short captions. Sometimes I can’t believe an old post I find: I don’t remember writing it and it’s so good! Funny and quality writing. So – even if nobody notices a thing, I’m keeping myself entertained, amused and inspired. Isn’t this great?”
I wish you to do the same: keep yourself entertained and inspired. After all, it’s the least we can do.
One of the stops on my last trip past Tuesday. 
Agave in Orto Botanico Corsini in Porto Ercole. Observe the flowery dress to go with it. 
Swirly theme continues. Octopus in Piran opposite the sea. 
Whereas these squiggles are in Ostia Antica which had two extra statues that day. 
This Cerveteri fountain is squiggly below and twisty above. 
Towards the top of the Piran lighthouse. 
A swallow on a twisty fence. 
Olive trees are particularly squiggly. 
Scrap art by the man in the black cap, Rodolfo Lacquaniti, in his Giardino Viaggio di Ritorno in Tuscany. 
Also there. I like his ideas. 
For me, this is the most extraordinary exhibit in Rodolfo’s Garden. 
Whereas this is a green tunnel in the garden of Villa Cetinale. 
A squiggly object on sale in Piran. 
Ice-cream handmade and decorated by my friend in Ljubljana. Yum. 
I like these umbrella stands in Velenje Castle in Slovenia. 
The best thing about this wavy trophy is that I got to take it home and have it right here. 
I posted it for circles, I’m posting it now again. It’s twisty too. The Stožice Arena, Ljubljana. 
Nearby, an example of the kind of squiggly graffiti that I’m unable to read. Does it say Sickie on the right? 
Sunset through the branches opposite our home. 
My two twisted bundles of joy. 
A favourite twist: carbonara in the making.
For Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Twisted or Squiggly
This day in my blogging history
An Embarrassment of Riches 
I’ve thought the same thing about my blogs- diary and scrapbook each one. I like your links to posts of the past. There is a different perspective on events in looking back and it can change with each reviewing. I have the photo album my mother made for my first couple of years. I always have enjoyed looking at it though so many are gone now who were featured in the pages and I am a grandmother myself now, but each viewing strengthens me to go on. I think your look backs do the same, it seems like.

Also, I too look back at old posts, and wonder who wrote them. And my old art alway surprises me. We don’t think we change, but the history of our blogging shows a a different picture. Truer than a diary I think. (K)

Correct, K. The truest picture possible. This is why it is impossible to be disappointed when you meet a fellow blogger. Thank you!
