This will be one long last post. But the Movie part of my blog has got to go and this is its farewell. There has been only ONE post with flash film reviews on this blog, which is a shame (this one in late March). And … Continue reading See you at the movies

Thursday Doors, 13/12/18: Capalbio 2
Capalbio is the town on the hill in Maremma closest to me and these are some of its doors. I often bring visitors here because it’s a charming old town, so it’s small wonder that during our a bit more than just a bloggers’ meeting … Continue reading Thursday Doors, 13/12/18: Capalbio 2
Lens-Artists PC: Happiness is a choice
Happiness is a choice. “Thought is like a little boat upon the sea,” and you are the storm. Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. First, thank you to Norm of Thursday Doors fame for the featured photo and one more in today’s gallery. Amore showing … Continue reading Lens-Artists PC: Happiness is a choice
November 2017
In a somehow typical fashion, I post last year’s November photos on the last day of this year’s. Just in time. My ex liked calling things he did “just in time”, but that meant watering the plants on the brink of dying. Sometimes I felt … Continue reading November 2017
Lens-Artists PC: Windows and stuff
Twenty windows that caught my eye in Maremma. Today we continue on the day where we stopped in my previous Lens-Artists PC post looking up, but only with the first photo below. The others are from the remaining days of our recent long weekend with … Continue reading Lens-Artists PC: Windows and stuff
Thursday Doors, 4/10/18: Normies in Maremma
I’m not sure who invented the word doorfie for a selfie in a door reflection, but today I’ve got an even newer word: Normie. That is, Norm in a door-shell. He has survived the attack of Tuscan doors and greets you all. There were some … Continue reading Thursday Doors, 4/10/18: Normies in Maremma

September 2017
It’s September and I’ve got a couple of things to discuss: 1. What photo is deemed photo worthy? 2. Why suffer if you can enjoy it? “It’s interesting what is considered photo worthy, especially in terms of being posted online.” This was a comment under … Continue reading September 2017
Thursday Doors, 13/9/18: Norm mix I.
Today a special door selection from my first blog, of doors that caught the eye of our Thursday Doorman. “The day I set foot in Rome and start exploring for doors… well I don’t know if I’ll ever leave the place.” This was the comment … Continue reading Thursday Doors, 13/9/18: Norm mix I.
Lens-Artists PC: Don’t fence me in
Leya wrote “Fences” in the title of her challenge, which is not to say that the singular form would have prevented me from posting twenty of them, as is my norm. But first, I was amazed to discover – only now, as it sometimes happens – … Continue reading Lens-Artists PC: Don’t fence me in
June 2017
Before June is over, here is a look at last year’s as is my habit. As you will see, it had a girly feel. With all their visitors and views and vibrations, spring and summer months are so hard to pin down in twelve images, … Continue reading June 2017
CFFC: 20 days of arches
This week’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge came just in time for me: I’ve got arches, oh yes, I do. The last twenty days have been a bit busier than usual around here. First I had my parents over, another visiting couple came for a day, … Continue reading CFFC: 20 days of arches
Thursday Doors, 31/5/18: Capalbio
Not only my parents, we hosted another travelling couple. Capalbio provided the doors and the view. One of the visitors is a photographer and enjoyed the narrow streets and hidden corners of Capalbio, the town on the hill above us. No matter how often I … Continue reading Thursday Doors, 31/5/18: Capalbio
WPC: Unlikely life
My life is pretty much unlikely, all of it. All this was just my longer path to the station on a May day last year. I have a habit of posting a calendar post every month with twelve pictures from the same month last year, … Continue reading WPC: Unlikely life
Happy half, Alenka!
Today celebrates my first friend who I met online and got to befriend in real life too. True, we were both in the same country, but without the internet chances are high that we would never know of each other. I’m not mentioning the number … Continue reading Happy half, Alenka!
Day 23 & WPC: Prolific yellow and green
Today a cento made of song lyrics and a war between green and yellow in images. Challenge 23: “Today, we challenge you to honor this idea with a poem based in sound. The poem, for example, could incorporate overheard language. Perhaps it could incorporate a … Continue reading Day 23 & WPC: Prolific yellow and green
Day six: Line length
Challenge 6: “Write a poem that stretches your comfort zone with line breaks. That could be a poem with very long lines, or very short lines. Or a poem that blends the two.” on the beach finally after months, getting sleepy from still warm sand … Continue reading Day six: Line length

Today is the last door-dedicating Thursday. Twenty more women will be honoured for making my days that much better. A reminder: so far we had two Thursdays of Women’s Doors and one all-male Thursday. With today this silly division is over and we can all … Continue reading Thursday Doors, 29/3/18: Women’s Doors 3
Thursday Doors, 22/3/18: Men’s Doors
After two Thursday Doors posts full of doors for women, with one more coming up next Thursday, here is one for men. Only one, you’ll say, discrimination! But please, first, excuse this gender segregation the last few Thursdays, it was not planned. This is just … Continue reading Thursday Doors, 22/3/18: Men’s Doors
