weekly photo challenge: treat
plenty of treats, but tricks seem to be the thing this evening. beware!…
weekly photo challenge: doors (an italian odyssey)
so, it was about 30 years ago (sigh!) and i was backpacking in italy. i had borrowed an old pentax camera with 2 lenses, trying to transfer a growing interest in making pictures into practice. it didn’t go very well… one of my inspirations, and aspirations, was to make a poster with doors and knockers – so with the weekly challenge this came into mind again. i know i should have left it in the dusty bin it was stored in, the pictures are shamefully unsharp to start with. anyways, some 30 years ago i had an ambition, and as i say nowadays – ambition is just another word for failure.

colours will come
hard to believe, but spring will come. i know for sure (that’s me trying to convince myself) that the cold morning frost will give away, the colours will come. the freeze outside is just a bad april’s fool game.

from the first deep breath of “I love you, baby”
colours will come
out in the fields
there is a rider passing by. say hello, wave goodbye.
weekly photo challenge: reflections (of rome)
almost a year ago by now, a couple of days in rome. i had this idea of doing a post with a few photos of (ancient) rome mirrored in cars, shop windows and other modern things. this weeks photo challenge made me go from thought to realization. sometimes i need that kick in the b.
