Welcome to my November of last year in twenty images. One day was spent in Rome, once I went to our flamingo lagoon, and the rest was spent at and around home. Since I spend so much time at home, I don’t take as many pictures as I used to. This is why with thisContinue reading “November 2022”

May 2022
Last May was an easy-to-file-away month. It started with one-day visitors on Day 1 but then it got really empty really quick, until Day 31 when I met Flavia for the last time, so far. So I had all the time in the world to observe poppies in the greens turn to browns and reds.Continue reading “May 2022”
Day 28: Index 2023
I’ve been waiting for a good prompt to unleash something a bit special. Index sounds just right. See if anything about this poem seems familiar. Prompt 28: Today, I challenge you to write your own index poem. You could start with found language from an actual index, or you could invent an index, somewhat inContinue reading “Day 28: Index 2023”
Day Four & April 2022
April is a special month, not just because of our poems. Here are twenty views from last year’s April for my Calendar and one poem about it. Prompt 4: Today, let’s try writing triolets. A triolet is an eight-line poem. All the lines are in iambic tetrameter. Beyond this, there is a tight rhyme schemeContinue reading “Day Four & April 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”
Last four of November
This time, finally, my last photo above and the three penultimate ones of the past month come with zero drama attached. Plus there is a story. But… what is that in the middle of the field? A huge loose Maremma shepherd getting ready to attack? No, no, just a girl dog neighbour who doesn’t dareContinue reading “Last four of November”
June 2021
Before this June gets out of hand and out of sight, here are twenty photos from last year’s in memory of the early hot post-pandemic joys. There were two especially memorable days: when I drove north towards Castiglione della Pescaia to visit a new-to-me artistic garden “Viaggio di Ritorno”, the home and playground of scrapContinue reading “June 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”
Wordless Wednesday with our May 1st
Happy Wednesday! This day in my blogging history
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”
