Lens-Artists: Follow the light
The more pictures I take, the more it becomes obvious that all I do is follow the light. The best is to catch it before it says good night when they say it’s golden, so I do. This magical gallery starts in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where … Continue reading Lens-Artists: Follow the light
Thursday Doors, 27/9/18: Norm’s Doors 3
“Life’s too short for boring doors” could be the official slogan of our jolly little group. Let’s have more of the other kind. Small wonder that it was Norm, our chief, who wrote this in a comment to one of my Thursday Doors post on … Continue reading Thursday Doors, 27/9/18: Norm’s Doors 3
Thursday Doors, 20/9/18: More Norm’s doors

Day 19: Thursday Doors, 19/4/18: Reconstruction
Today a double kind of reconstruction: of a house and of a poem. And then we can have gelato, if it’s open. First the house: the two photos above show the same house as it was five years ago (left) and last September (right). In … Continue reading Day 19: Thursday Doors, 19/4/18: Reconstruction
Day ten & WPC: Miles of smiles
My laptop compiled a gallery of smiling images, including the ones below, on its own accord. I have a feeling that it checks out the weekly WPC theme on its own without me. Obviously it has realised that I need a kick in the butt … Continue reading Day ten & WPC: Miles of smiles
WPC: Rise or set?
I must tell you something before April 1st gets here, or nobody is going to believe it. For some deeply hidden reasons I have signed up for Na/GloPoWriMo which stands for National/Global Poetry Writing Month, which is April, which starts tomorrow. I have promised (to … Continue reading WPC: Rise or set?
Thursday Doors, 29/3/18: Women’s Doors 3

With today this silly division is over and we can all … Continue reading Thursday Doors, 29/3/18: Women’s Doors 3
WPC: A guide for one day
You can be a tour guide, just for one day. You can be an editor too. A translator. Layout lass. Director of photography. A copywriter. The boss. The secretary. You, blogger, are all of these and more, all in one. And now a tour guide … Continue reading WPC: A guide for one day
WPC: Silence!
In my quest to get closer to the flamingos in Orbetello lagoon, I found some other beasts as well. Every time I’m grocery shopping, I throw them wishful looks and they laugh at me from too far away for my zoom. I promised them to … Continue reading WPC: Silence!
A lovely day
January 16th is such a day by definition. First let’s croon. In this post I have everything for everybody and some things specifically for some people. First, today celebrate a couple of dear friends who I don’t see nearly enough and always try to lure … Continue reading A lovely day
Nothing but mammal
Other people watch birdies and post flamingos, and I’ve got this. Sorry, not sorry. I remember a weird series on maybe Discovery Channel about the future of species long after the last human says goodbye. I forget the details but I remember that snails will be … Continue reading Nothing but mammal
