Thursday Doors 5/1/23: Door gifts

Here we are in the new doorway of 2023 and I wish to display some gifts in the shape of door photos from Bratislava, Istria and Oregon, which I received last year but haven’t posted yet. No photo in this post was taken by me. The first three photos are from Bratislava, the capital of

Last photos of September

Last month ended with the following four photos. I was thinking no drama for a change, alas, the final one says it all. Let’s start innocently, with the last photo from our daytrip with my uncle before he returned to Slovenia. Our day ended with a non-filtered Ichnusa, my uncle’s favourite beer, and a freshly

Birthday Thursday Doors 26/5/22 with three door stories

I wish to remember the good old times in hope of more to come with photos taken by my friend who celebrates today. This post is also my contribution to the second Thursday Doors Writing Challenge: three door photos called my name and caught my eye and earned some words. Today is the birthday of

Day 18 & Lens-Artists PC: Piran sunset colours

When uncle sent me these photos four days ago, I promised him to put them on my blog. I didn’t know I’ll get a chance so soon though. And in my poem, some more (para) romantics. Today the photos first to set the mood. My travelling uncle has a new phone. The first red photo

Happy birthday Thursday Doors

Today mom’s cousin Duša celebrates her grand 70 (wrong number, clearly). In your honour, here are your husband and some of your doors. Yes, Duša means Soul and this is what you are.

Wordless Wednesday with last photo in January

Amore took this one while testing a toy he gave me for Christmas, a fish-eye + macro lens. Macro doesn’t wish to focus for some reason, or we are unable. Bushboy’s rules are simple: 1. Post the last photo on your SD card or last photo on your phone for the 31st January.2. No editing

Lens-Artists PC: Travel teachings

Amy has kept us nicely busy this week with her theme. What have travels taught me? The more I think about it, the less I can say about it. Except this: Movement is a point of life. The thing is to move from this to that, and possibly back, but not always. Different places activate

Thursday Doors + CFFC: Door gifts + Lendava Castle

Every door is a gift, every gift is a door, and through its mouth we walk. Today is a rare occasion that my door post most happily answers to two challenges: Dan is our usual Thursday Doors host, whereas Cee, having fun connecting to other challenges, has chosen Thursday Doors to play with this week.

Friendly Friday friend

Let’s call him Rory since this is his name. It was not exactly travel, more like a job that brought me to Denmark, but travel around we did, a busload of students and I as a journalist. My last evening in the country, Rory was Irish, a writer and suddenly there. This was not a

This little girl is me

She was so serious. She wanted to be a detective (not enough crime in her country), a writer (pending), a movie director (in a parallel life). But what she really wanted was to live by the sea. Here it is, 1.8 km away. Hold on to your books. Have your priorities straight. Always talk back
