Day Three: Friendly orange haiku Friday

I have just written ten pretty random haiku poems with words from the limited word bank. Have a look. Oh, and they are all orange, for Friendly Friday. Prompt 3: “First, make a list of ten words. … Now, for each word, use Rhymezone to identify two to four similar-sounding or rhyming words. … Once you’ve assembled […]

Yellow Friendly Friday windows for Flavia

I wish a heartfelt Friendly Friday to everybody but most of all to my friend Flavia who celebrates today. Amanda says that this Friendly Friday should be yellow, and Flavia likes windows, so yellow windows it is. After connecting right here on our blogs, we met after Christmas for the first time, just in time […]

Friendly Friday Funny Furry Friends

Sandy is looking for a chuckle, but maybe it will be more of an ahhhh. Here is a wee bestia from the first year of his life back in 2013 when I just arrived to Italy and everything was so much simpler. Many don’t know that bestia’s real name is Fonzie, yes, after that one, […]

Friendly Friday rails

It may have gone off the rails, but my photos will be on or through the rails. Or is it railings? Hm… Well, as long as it’s friendly. First of all, thank you and everybody else who has reached out in this period. It’s been hard-hitting, emotionally mostly, but right now it’s just fine. Amore […]

Friendly Friday oh look, it’s art!

Unusual, out of the ordinary, impressive. “I like the jolt of finding art unexpectedly,” Sandy says. Oh yes, so do I. Coming up! As soon as I started collecting my examples, I had 40 photos immediately. I narrowed them down to 25 with a heavy heart. They are from Italy and Slovenia as usually, with […]

Friendly Friday sea creatures

I’m a friendly sea creature. I’ve been drawn to the sea all my life. And yet often I eat others. As we have established, both Amanda – who sets sea creatures as this week’s Friendly Friday theme – and I love sea food. My gallery consists of two parts: in the first I present myself […]

Friendly Friday tea & coffee conversations

Today I had the audacity to mix coffee and tea. I think we will live, as long as there’s cake. I was astonished to realise how many coffee- and tea-related images I have in my archives. Last month, when I did the post about the favourite ways I drink coffee and tea, I was almost […]

Odd Friendly Friday couples

For this week’s Friendly Friday photo challenge, hosted by Amanda, I gather couplings of diversity. Heavily represented is bestia and his various playmates. By coincidence, of which Facebook reminded me, it was exactly on this day last year that Amanda posted her Friendly Friday post with the prompt contrast and this was my post. Today […]

Simple Friendly Friday joys

Sandy’s simply joyous first photo in her first Friendly Friday post as the host says it all. We are all happy that Amanda has a new co-host after the withdrawal of Snow Melts Somewhere, the original host of one year. Sandy’s first theme is simple joys and she provides great photo instances of just that. […]
