Final Ljubljana report

This is how I spent the second part of my Slovenia vacations. I’ve showed you how day 1 was won, some doors, windows and wall scribbles from day 2, how I spent the first week with family and friends waiting for the sun, and all doors of one Saturday. Here are the last few days as…

Thursday Doors 2017

Even though this and next week there are no official Thursday Doors, right now I shall put together a gallery of door favourites from this year. The idea came from Judith at Beyond the Window Box as it did once before, for my Calendar. Even though this time I promised her only one post, I…

WPC: Calendar of favourites 2016

Even though I’m aware that I should be posting my favourites from the year that is ending, I shall use this opportunity and this post to complete my Calendar 2016 project. Throughout the year I have been posting selections of twelve (or more) photos for each separate month in 2016. You can find all posts…

Celebrating Supermarco

Must be tough to have your birthday on Christmas. Everybody keeps talking about that other guy. Yesterday, as you were driving me from my old Slovenia into my not-so-new-any-more Italy and the ride extended to almost 12 hours due to intense traffic between Florence and Rome, I said that the VIP Pearl Jam ticket is…

Thursday Doors, December 21 2017

All doors in a day. The day was this Saturday and the location Ljubljana marshes and surroundings. But first a little door story from yesterday. I found a huge shop selling only windows and doors. I entered it happily in the hope of finding some interesting ones. Immediately I saw that it was a mistake….

Merrily into winter

No matter how I’m more than ready for it to end, on Thursday the winter only just begins. Try not to think about that. The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain. – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (reblogged from Nes Felicio Photography) Mal di Maremma is real. (As is mal d’Africa,…

Home-hopping

Hail hail all who have homes, and countries, to hop between. Rolling over into Slovenia of origin tomorrow. Below are the three places in Slovenia that I can call home. Snow is supposed to greet us but it should warm up again. And then back to Rome for Christmas and home to Tuscany for New…

Thursday Doors, November 30 2017

Today we return to Piran in Slovenia to have a look at some doors that may or may not come with people attached. First, one image with no people. Not yet. Imagine all the various doors in these tight little streets. And now a slow progression through pairs of doors with and without human company…

Thursday Doors, November 16 2017

I love my doors. I love my sister. I love my gelato. I love my dog. I love Siena. Sometimes it all comes together. I love Thursday Doors, and yet I am so behind in going through yours. I have months worth of door links saved. I know that you don’t but don’t worry. Eventually…

Destination everywhere

I’m letting you in on another of my lists to let you see the level of my crazy preparedness. And then I don’t go anywhere. I like to think that my as-I-go painstakingly compiled lists – of books to read (which is here), of movies to see (which I haven’t shared yet), and this one,…

Thursday Doors, November 2 2017

Today a walk through Tuscania from the day after my birthday. Only May and it was already so hot. It clearly foretold what the summer would be like and yet I couldn’t quite believe it. I was very happy to have my parents over, not only because they give good perspective, door size-wise. Tuscania is…

WPC: Layered October

All twenty multilayered photos below were taken in the same month. Welcome to October. Seeing that I’m desperately running out of blog space, again, I thought to combine the Weekly Photo Challenge and my Calendar 2016 and show you what October looks like around here. Especially since it is nothing if not layered. My second…

Cee’s B&W Photo Challenge: Can-did

Because I can, I did: twenty candid people photos (+ one animal) black’n’whited for Cee’s challenge. Click on the first to enter the gallery. I think we are all cute, but if anybody requests, I’ll remove the photo. Photo: © signature mmm + featured photo by BM + me on lake by MarMež For:

This week I’m stepping in for Norm as the host of our regular Thursday Doors challenge. Door lovers of the world, welcome! Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos from around the world. Feel free to join in on the fun by…

WPC: Waiting pays off

It is always good to leave some room for waiting. For the sun. For the miracle. For you to come along. “I’m a patient boy,” sang Fugazi. “And I wait and I wait and I wait.” Here is a previous post with examples of waiting from my life that includes this song. Not just me, the…

September

“September is for this sort of things,” sing Slovenian band Melodrom. Let’s look at last year’s to see what is coming. Here are twelve images from last September for my Calendar 2016. The visitor was the same as this year’s: he brought me from Slovenia and has just left. As you will see, last year…
