The Garden and victories

Since a small storm and a big rain it’s been lovely here in Piran. This is the Garden of Eden and Druga in twelve images from yesterday. As for the Olympics, I keep on whistling and sighing in pleasure. Since I last mentioned the Olympic medal count of the 2-million Slovenia, judo fighter Tina Trstenjak […]

Happy in Piran

Glimpses from the last three days in Piran on the Slovenian coast where there was a tornado warning on yesterday for a short time and then luckily got cancelled. Possibly the first such warning in Slovenia. There was a bit of a storm and heavy rain but no wind. I kept bestia calm in the […]

PPAC: Ljubljana train station

Okay, painted trains are not all that unique and are visible from afar, but there is a little hidden something too that nobody ever notices and now you will. I had intended to search it out and photograph it for a long time, but it was only while searching for the vaccine station last Monday […]

Lens-Artists PC: I got away

This year it took me longer than desired but I did it: I got away from the extreme heat of Tuscany in its yellow phase and escaped to balmy Slovenia, even though Piran on the coast, where I am now, is hot and humid too. Birds and butterflies are not silly. Migration is a thing. […]

Share Your Desktop – July 2021

I need a short but sweet post today. Here is the view that I will enjoy again very soon. My father took this photo after he repainted their garden set in Piran on the Slovenian coast. He sent it to me here in Tuscany in March and I’ve had it as my desktop background ever […]

Pic and a Word #278: Creation

This is to give myself a bit of triumph. I’ll need it today. Kri-ey-shn In my language creation starts with blood. In Slovenian, the word for blood is “kri”. Sometimes, if we’re lucky, creation ends in blood. That’s when we applaud each other, for spilling our blood. “Well said” we say, but we mean: Well […]

July 2020

Last year I spent almost two months in Slovenia, and July was one of them. Here it is in twenty images for my Calendar 2020. Surprisingly, I spent the entire July in Ljubljana, with only one day-trip to Piran. One night I went to the centre for a protest poetry reading, one night to the […]

Lens Artists PC: B&W by a colour lover

Black and white photography is for those who know what they are doing. If you merely click and hope for the best like me, it can get tricky. Here are some comparisons. Looking at Anne’s example photos in her Lens-Artists guest host post, it becomes clear that if a photo is to work in black […]

Friendly Friday wildflowers

Since Amanda is asking to see our wildflowers for the Friendly Friday challenge, here are two photos for each month in a year. Not all are from the same year but each month gets a couple of wildflower photos. Only four are from Slovenia, the remaining twenty are from a 15-minute radius around here in […]
