Although I am a born arachnophobic, wet spider webs are one of my favoured things to photograph. The water was my doing, though. I gently splashed the spider webs with water to get these faeryish effects I absolutely adore. The occupants of the webs were grateful as it was a hot hot day. One of … Continue reading Beads and Bokeh

Kitty Ears
My Maya aka Punkie Pie. I bought her the kitty ears when she was 3. Now she is 9 but she still loves them and still wears them. In public. I love her so much. She is an odd mix of a big baby and independent young woman. Also, her long, thick, black eyelashes; the … Continue reading Kitty Ears
Phoneography – How To Take Great Shots With Your Phone
Phoneography is the act of creating photos with your camera phone, instead of a regular camera. (iPhoneography is its branch and is the act of creating photos with an iPhone, obviously 🙂 ) I remember how things were like 10 years ago. I was an active member on deviantART, and sometimes some silly newbie would … Continue reading Phoneography – How To Take Great Shots With Your Phone
International Cat Day
Today was International Cat Day! Cats are the most awesome creatures on Earth, by the way. 😀 Here’s Felix, my crochet assistant and also the most dedicated quality control manager. Isn’t he cute? Why of course he is! And he is very aware of it. 😛 ❤
In the Forest
Go in the forest, they said. It’ll be cool and refreshing, they said. Not really. It was hot hot hot! At least I have some nice pics. You know, to remember the sweat, the damp hair sticking on my neck, the buzzing of hungry mosquitoes…
{throwback thursday} Marble Beach
We visited Marble Beach in Thassos island, Greece. It is an amazing place! It’s indeed made of marble pebbles and the water is crystal clear. The only problem? Too many people! We arrived at noon so no chance of sunbeds for us. It didn’t matter, though. We still enjoyed our stay, because in spite of … Continue reading {throwback thursday} Marble Beach
Bear Lake
Somewhere in the middle of Romania, there is a lake where you can swim with ducks. It’s a special heliothermal lake, unique in Europe. The water at the surface is cold but at the bottom it gets warmer, because of the salt. This is why swimming is allowed only a few hours a day, with … Continue reading Bear Lake
Up Close
Quality macro photography is quite hard to achieve without a tripod. It’s so hard to stay crouched in the grass and keeping the camera still at the same time. I could have done better. I did a little better when I photographed the butterflies, it was raining lightly, the air was fresh, it was overcast … Continue reading Up Close
The Pretty Yellow Flowers
This little boy loves flowers. Roses are his favourites but he said these yellow flowers were pretty too. By the way, can anyone tell me their name? (Note to self: buy that app that tells you the name of all plants) Also from the garden: water for bees, greenery and a yellow leaf. It’s full … Continue reading The Pretty Yellow Flowers
The Baby Chicks
The baby chicks are actually tweens now. They get along well with Abi and Abi is always so excited to be able to pick them up all by himself. Until a while ago, little Abi wanted to be a cat, always meowing and acting like a kitty – I loved it. But ever since the … Continue reading The Baby Chicks
Coco and the Red Box (and a treat)
Another ruined board game… The kids left it on the floor. Abi, my little boy, scattered the pieces (I think Felix helped with that, too) and Coco used the box as a bed. In another train of thoughts, I bought myself a treat. Some ladies buy shoes. Others eat cake. I buy yarn. 🙂
{throwback thursday} Giola Lagoon
Giola is a natural rocky pool on Thassos Island, in Greece. We went there a few years back and it was an amazing experience. It is also called the mermaids’ pool. It’s quite deep but the water is emerald green, crystal clear and calm. It’s not a place for little kids though. The road to … Continue reading {throwback thursday} Giola Lagoon
Procrastinating
I have so many things to do. Among many others, a few projects to finish… I also need to declutter a few areas of my house because we are going to move in a few months. But it’s like my brain and my hands froze. I can’t focus on anything. Anything! So many things to … Continue reading Procrastinating
Flowers, Bugs and Ducks
Surprisingly, the ducks posed for me. I thought they would freak out but they were curious. Ducks are so funny, by the way. They walk funny and talk funny and have a very high level of adorableness. Even higher than the chickens, I dare to say. While the chickens look like they’re always grumpy, ducks … Continue reading Flowers, Bugs and Ducks
