Happy first poppy day! No photo yet but there it was by the road this morning, tiny, alone and first. Here are twenty glances from last March to see how spring was unfolding last year. Of course, the first poppy I already noticed at Christmas, but that was the only one, an anomaly, whereas thisContinue reading “March 2022”

February 2022
This post has three parts: a funny re-enactment attempt, a song, and twenty photos from last February for my Calendar series. First, you saw it last year already but I just have to repost this experiment. We had an online carnival last year and bestia had to be the seal. It’s been a while sinceContinue reading “February 2022”
October 2021
Before this October rolls by too fast as months do, here is last year’s in twenty images for my Calendar series. First, a paragraph of apologies. I have stopped replying to comments under my blog posts, and for this I’m not happy. I always read them with such pleasure. Your words are proof that thereContinue reading “October 2021”
Just flowers
My favourite kind of flowers are those that are still growing. All these were growing last May here in southern Tuscany. Okay, the Ukraine had to win the Eurovision Song Contest. And now I’m so extremely interested in seeing whether the league and the system will let Luka and the Mavs win tonight and eliminateContinue reading “Just flowers”
May 2021
The selection was not easy, but here are twenty photos from last May for my Calendar. Frankly, I could easily post nothing but twenty photos of poppies, twenty of other flowers, twenty of animals, or twenty from my two day trips. Here is a bit of everything then. May is possibly the prettiest month aroundContinue reading “May 2021”
CFFC: Bridges from there to here
I don’t have that many photos of bridges, thought I as I started to gather them. There were 50 in no time. Here is a (good) half of them. I like bridges – crossing them, looking at them, looking from them, the purpose and the idea of them. They are old and new, designed forContinue reading “CFFC: Bridges from there to here”
Bestia and beasties
Here is another stroll through my last March with the emphasis on animals other than birds (which already got a recent post). This post is to honour Sunra Nina (here is her recent Poem the Wind Blew Over) who was hopping around my blog for a while and today happily announced that she Finally CaughtContinue reading “Bestia and beasties”
PPAC: War memorials
I have gathered public monuments to the fallen from Slovenia and Italy of diverse artistry, but always here to make us think. After all, we used to kill each other. Plus there is this poem that I have been writing since Thursday when it all began. Soft War Song It’s the end of War DayContinue reading “PPAC: War memorials”
Friendly Friday serenity search
Here is my Friendly Friday serenity which only a carefully worded post can ruffle. Is it true? Do I refuse to choose? Yes, I have found my serenity, no search required. You can see it regularly in the photos on my blog and in this post. At least I hope this is what my photosContinue reading “Friendly Friday serenity search”
Lens-Artists PC: Ch-ch-changes
I had a post with this title – a nod to David Bowie – back in 2015 when it was still Weekly Photo Challenge and this is its continuation. Today’s post will include four slideshow galleries. I did my best to end on an up note but simply can’t. It’s so hard to find anyContinue reading “Lens-Artists PC: Ch-ch-changes”
