July 2022

It’s time to look at the same month last year in twenty images for my Calendar series. It was spent mostly in Piran in Slovenia by the sea with a hop to Ljubljana for a couple of birthdays. Not only my father celebrated his, but also one of my mother’s cousins turned 70 and the

Happy B, oči B!

Today celebrates my father in Piran by the sea where we will be together in a few weeks. Let’s go through our past year. First, you may not be this ragazzo from Rome any more: but look, Debbie Harry turned the same number two days ago: For your birthday I gathered some tunes and created

June 2022

Since today is doorliday, which means a Thursday Doors holiday, instead of doors here are twenty views from last June for my Calendar series in which each month I look back a year and compare. This month the comparison is a bit unfair, since in June last year I was already in Piran with my

Four April centos: No. 1

I may be done with April but April is not done with me. This is something that I had to do: collect final thoughts from ALL your final poems and shape them into four centos without changing a word or adding any. Here is the first. The idea came to me as I was reading

Day 25: On books and the sea

This is a love poem to two things that are there for when I’ll need them. Or so I keep telling myself. Prompt 25: Today’s prompt challenges you to write a love poem, one that names at least one flower, contains one parenthetical statement, and in which at least some lines break in unusual places.

Day Ten

I’ll be otherwise occupied much of the day so a quick one today. Prompt 10: I challenge you to write a sea shanty (or shantey, or chanty, or chantey — there’s a good deal of disagreement regarding the spelling!) Here ya go, pardners: I should you should we should write a shanty But we have to keep

Complete Calendar 2021

Before the new year arrives, I still need to deal not with this one but with the one before. Here is 2021 with one photo per month. As I have done five years before – links to previous calendars are listed below the gallery – here is 2021 as it was originally planned, with one

December 2021

Here we go, the last month of the year is here and with it my twelfth but not yet last calendar post. Before the year is through, I will select one photo per month for the final Calendar 2021 post. Yes, I am aware that 2023 is just around the corner, but I still need

Last photo of July with lens trouble

Yesterday I remembered that it was the last day of the month so I made sure that my last couple of photos make a good piece of evidence of my lens trouble. This is something that has been happening more and more often. Have a look at my penultimate and last July photo: By the
