In the second week of May, Anthemis arvensis, a plant that covers large areas in Palera, has produced an impressive multitude of flowers. Palera is a place where quite a few of my posts from April and

Two weeks ago, my hometown was the home to an event that included many bikes, bikers, and plenty of heavy rock n'roll music that is rarely heard in public places nowadays. In my neiberhood, the bikes sounded

In this post, I'll present what I found and photographed on a few occasions at the end of April and the first days of May. I used to visit one of the roadside meadows between the villages of Shishan and

It happened on the first of January 1980, according to the file metadata of the JPEGs I used to illustrate this post. In reality, the photographs you'll see here were taken more or less a month ago, in

I can't tell you when exactly the photographs in today's post were taken. I mean, it was in May, that much I do know; in the first half of May this year, probably. Something is wrong with the part of my

A month ago, in the first week of May, I spent half an hour observing the flowers and pollinators on one of the shrubs that form hedges on the edge of the meadows.

Yesterday, about six o'clock in the afternoon, I drove about six kilometers to one of the meadows near the village of Shishan. I spent a few hours there searching for interesting details. (Enlargeable)

Crataegus monogyna, commonly known as the common hawthorn or whitethorn, is a flowering plant that grows as a shrub or small tree, and is often found among other shrubs and small trees that form dense

Yeah, let's do it. It could be fun. In an educational, geeky way. I photographed a ton of poppies this spring. I took portraits of a single flower and photographed groups of them peaking from the surrounding

Ok, it wasn't just one evening. I returned several times to the same small tree to get the photographs needed for this relatively long post. The tree in question is Acer campestre, commonly known as the

The first of May was a predominantly sunny day, but a bit of rain did fall around noon. Many people were outside, and many outdoor barbeques were spreading scents of all kinds of fine meat slowly roasting

Yesterday, I drove a couple of kilometers to the village of Liznjan, bought a few things in a small grocery store there, and continued towards the village of Shishan. After passing through that village

It happened last week, on Tuesday. The 6th of May 2025. Not only was this the heaviest rain of this year so far, but quite possibly the most intense rainy day I have ever experienced in my hometown.

Yesterday, I drove to the area called Marlera, a couple of kilometers from the village of Liznjan, and five or six kilometers from where I live, and I did it in the morning, for a change. Recently, I have

It was another evening in Palera, the coastal area near the harbor of Liznjan. (Enlargeable) I was there to get my daily dose of meditation and healing through macrophotography and a bunch of pictures

The rain was short but heavy. It was very intense. Some parts of my hometown were seriously flooded, and properties were damaged. My neiberhood is uphill enough, and the drainage system works fine, so

The 29th of April this year was a warm and sunny day, the weather was very typical for the season. I spent the whole afternoon in Palera, the coastal, agriculture-oriented area about five or six kilometers

The evening is almost a character in each of these evening posts I've been publishing quite often lately. The flora and fauna change, but the evening is always there, providing a thematic backbone that

The title mentions a colorful evening but isn't meant to be taken literally. The evening in general wasn't more colorful than the previous few I enjoyed in Palera, but I did find two insects with an intense,
