Not just me, the entire Slovenia is waiting for the next basketball game on Tuesday and the winking first medal from any championships. Only three more games left. I loved the commentary by an American commentator caught online: “I like the culture of this group.”
Here are some others who are waiting. Slovenian proverb says: “Kdor čaka, dočaka.” Waiting pays off. (Click on the first photo and let’s wait together.)
Waiting for me, unaware of being spotted. Lokev, Slovenia.
Waiting for the commercials to stop and the game to continue.
Waiting to be put out of their misery. I mean, really, look at these sunflowers now. I thought the last sight of them in July was bad.
Waiting for the rest of the grapes. Despite the drought they managed to grow some. Look at the dried peach trees on the right.
Waiting for the wind to stop playing with the curtain so that I can take a photo of the elephants for Taja. (This one and the next five taken in Talamone.)
Waiting for some who would wait.
Waiting for me to take a photo of it, all pretty.
Waiting to trap some hungry birds.
Waiting for their owners to remember that they own a boat.
Waiting for the beer. This shirt can buy you one if you’re lucky.
Waiting for another beer and the game. Nahh, uncle, no fear.
Waiting for the flood? Storm? Winter? The selection is vast.
Waiting for this dog to pass.
Waiting for the people to leave.
Waiting to be left alone with our olives and clouds.
Waiting for another “game with the heart”.
Waiting for the sun, the beach, and one of the three. I used to write such stuff up on the fridge, but then I started a blog.
No fear, no doubt, no problem. And no cleaning. 😀
“I’m waiting,” says the trophy.
If you ask him, waiting has paid off, mom just doesn’t know it yet.
well to copy the commentator’s words: “I like the culture of this…” POST!
the laundry and the grape bins are my fav… and those are some dried peach trees – oh my
ah – that translation sounds deep.
like go the distance …?
and I told my hubs about something you said –
we were walking on this newly opened bridge (kinda a big deal in town) and there were protestors and I grabbed photos – and then interviewed a hippy girl with dreads.
it was fun.
I said “I am photo’s out”
and literally a minute later took a photo of a heron.
Photo’d out? – he asked and chuckled.
he knew it was a blogger thing.
and then I mentioned what you told me – cos it was really fun M-cubed.
How I read your post about being phot’d out, burned out etc.
and then you chimed back….
“just took 33 photos this morning”
ha
oh so good.
Hehe, great. Herons would do that to you. And I always say that by blogging we ripple. In this post are some of the 33: the birds, the vineyard, the cat and the fridge magnets.
😀 Good to know, Sara! Today I went to Twitter after a while to see about Irma, but then I saw many posts on Livorno and didn’t know what happened! And then I did. 😦 It’s two hours away, we had just a thunderstorm in the night. What about basketball, are you watching? I didn’t watch Italy play but I see you are in the similar position as Slovenia: on Tuesday playing for semifinals! Bravi noi! 😉 And we can only meet in the finals, imagine that!! Good luck against Serbia! (We have Latvia.)
It’s awful…they have started to show even certain events of the Olympics through payTV (even if it’s against the rules of the Olympic Games which declare they should be available to everyone) I’m so angry 👿
Ohh, you’re very welcome. And I forgot to ask Germany to beat Spain today so that we (Slovenia) have an easier way to the basketball Euro finals. 😉 (Joooke! Respect to Germany!)
This is a wonderful gallery of waiting in many forms, Manja. The sunflowers still make a great photo! And I love the laundry of course…and all the others as well.

Thanks, Prior, I’m so glad you like it, lovely what you say! 🙂 The word-by-word translation would be “Who waits, waits through.” Or something. 😀

What happened in Livorno is awful…
I love all kind of sports, but unfortunately they are showing basketball only on payTV and I don’t have it *sigh* Good luck against Latvia!
