           Let's listen to this together if that's ok with you.

Amelka

I feel so proud of this photo. It's like going back to my childchood and living in my fairy tales again. It goes with this song pretty well (please see the video, too).

Just Brown

My Sister in brown.

This is what I've just been listening to in my car while driving. 

From Yesterday's Walk

It goes with this song.

Goodbye, Summer Hols!

Goodbye, summer holidays! I will miss you.

Listen to this.

My Love

I don't think it's just me. She is so beautiful inside and out and I'm truly honoured that I can call this amazing person My Mother.

I'm listening to this right now. 

My New FB Photography Page

As I share way too many photos on FB, I've decided to create a new page for them and try to reduce posting them on my personal profile. Therefore, for those who like my photography, here's my brand new page. 

My Sister Yesterday

Spent a few hours with her and took this photo.

And this is entering my ears at the moment.

Me by Me

Just a Little Girl

...who happened to be my niece...

I'm listening to this, of course! Again. 

Innocence

Cherish Your Mum.

Here's mine. 

Listen.

My Favourite

Three More!

From yesterday with My Mum and her ciggie.

I'm listening to this again...

My Mother Today

A friend of mine said that the pictures goes with this.

BBC Wales: Not a Cow-ard!

Can you spot my picture here?


Here's a bit more from the same trip:

How Nice!

This post was published almost a month ago, but I stumbled on it only last night. It made me feel proud.

Listen to this if you want to know what's entering my ears.

Selfie

I'm not for hand-held selfies (I like 'proper' self-portraits, though), but, just like everyone else's, my face's changing as I get older; I'm at peace with it and I'm recording the process even when I lazy. Here is a little hand-held update then and yes, your features get slightly distorted because you can't stretch your arm enough to allow enough distance between your camera and yourself to avoid those distortions. In real life, your eyes (or brain, to be more precise) would make all the necessary adjustments for you, so you'd perceive objects as they are, but not a camera; it simply can't do that.

Here is my oldie for today. Have a lush weekend, everyone! 

Three

"Perhaps the easiest way of making the town’s acquaintance is to ascertain how the people in it work, how they love, and how they die. In our little town (is this, one wonders, an effect of the climate?) all three are done on much the same lines, with the same feverish yet casual air. The truth is that everyone is bored, and devotes himself to cultivating habits."

This is the quote from the novel I read as a 16-year-old girl and it made such a powerful impression on me that I started analysing people, including myself, through this 'tricoloured lens'. It's never stopped. Different 'colours' were important at different stages of my life, but the one I've been focused on for the last few years is the first one. 

It might be that the quotation resonates with the values instilled in me by my family, but I find those who persistently try their best most interesting. They are the ones who won't suck up to anyone in authority to gain anyone's favour because they simply don't need it. They are focused and consistent. They know their value (without the need to be flashy) and realise that someone's inability to see it doesn't reduce it. 

I feel so privileged to be able to watch them. And, in this context, it's so wonderful to remember that people don't change; we just get more set in our ways as we age. 

I've been listening to this lately, just in case you were curious. 

Just A Stunning Girl

A few portraits of my niece taken only two days ago. Thank Heaven for this little girl.  

Strangely enough, I've been listening to this lately.
