Lens-Artists PC: Shadow heroes

Where I live there is a little park. I needed a while but then I realised what is strange about it: there is not a single bench. But there are tall pine trees that cast great shadows. I’m not a fan of black and photo photos (mine, that is) but I thought this photo of

For Alenka and all Taurus people

Since I am a Taurus myself, with my birthday coming up in two weeks, I seem to get along with others like me the most. Today celebrates my first internet friend who I have met in person, and not just once. What are we like, if you didn’t know? Down to earth, outspoken, determined (some

Day 26 & Lens-Artists PC: Smile and simile

A post with a heart of light and gold today, since the Mavericks won so mercilessly last night. Who’d say that the most joy I’ll be getting will be from a 23-year-old Slovenian having fun playing basketball in Dallas? I almost wrote another poem for Luka (following this one) but that would be an exaggeration,

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

Day 12 & Lens-Artists PC: Bokeh

Today’s poem and photos go together especially well, since the poem describes the process of achieving my first deliberate bokeh. Still can’t pronounced it though. I shall describe and show the process first and my poem will follow. Be patient, please. First I saw our host Sofia’s post. Her photos have lovely blurred backgrounds –

Day Eight & Lens-Artists PC: Happy K9, bestia!

What a doubly happy day! My dog turns 9 and my poem is featured today. All my egos rejoice in the new poem. I was so happy and proud to see that today I’m the featured participant of this year’s NaPoWriMo. My yesterday’s door poem brought me this honour. Thank you most kindly! Today is

Lens-Artists PC: Earth, butterflies and us

What if butterflies had social media and posted photos of a black baby, an elderly Chinese woman, a couple of LA thugs, a dancer painted into a butterfly? These were my thoughts as I was gathering my photos of butterflies and moths. Since Amy says that the natural world has many stories to tell and

Lens-Artists PC: Curvy stairs

Here is a collection of my more or less curvy staircases from Rome, Slovenia and the curviest garden of all times right here in Tuscany. I was happy to see Leya’s theme for this week’s Lens-Artists photo challenge. Curves are dear and near to my heart. When I saw Sofia’s lovely staircase in her post

Lens Artists PC: Closer and closer

Since Patti wishes that we step closer, this is what I or my camera will do in this post seven times. These photos have something in common: they were all taken last March just around the corner. This is the third post with photos from that month. Who would have thought that one quarantine month

Lens-Artists PC: Happy end for odds

Here are some photos with words whose time to shine has finally arrived. I like to post whatever I feel like and have been known to smuggle all sorts of photos into all sorts of challenges, so that now when Tina asks us to post photos that have been itching on the bench to be
