Is it fall yet?
There was so much spring in the last post! And I mentioned I am boycotting summer, so today we will jump right to autumn and enjoy a nice and quiet forest. This one I visit whenever I can when I am in

Spring in the forest
Yes, I know we are already in midsummer, and I am showing spring photos. But spring is so much nicer than summer, and you will not see many, if any, summer shots here. I am officially boycotting it! It

Garden royalty
I like all kids of wildflowers and weeds that bloom around. They are pretty and humble and are very much unappreciated. Many of them are as nice, or even nicer than the fancy ones sold in shops. But this...

Bokeh in dandelion land
There is one thing I always ask about when I get my hands on some lenses my brother owns. "How is the bokeh on it?" And no matter the answer, I will still go out and try to catch it. Sometimes

Still one of my fav - Berberis thunbergii
This bush has such beautiful colours that for a very long time I was using a photo of it as my banner here. Later on I changed to the one and only Furry Majesty. Berberis thunbergii It is a deciduous (will

What is your name again?
Such a pretty white bush that I can never remember what it is called. Every time I have to ask someone or check in Google. Every. Single. Time. Garland spiraea An easy-growing one, as I see it often along

Unstoppable Convolvulus althaeoides
I have been waiting patiently for them to finally open. I knew they grow near a path I take a few times a week, and I could see the leaves and buds showing up. But I wanted the flowers. The large, intense,

Indestructible carpets of green and blue.
I have always liked these little blue flowers. We have been having them in one little spot in a garden since I remember. Always showing up in spring. A few little cuttings were planted in different parts

One of the places I like to visit almost every time I am in Wroclaw is the Cathedral area with this tiny little bridge. It was built in 1889, and it connects the Piasek Island with Ostrów Tumski (the oldest

FungiFriday - show me some colours
I don't really need mushrooms to have amazing colours to shoot them. Any will do. Even the most dull or pale. I find them all interesting and worth photographing. It is more about the shapes and textures

Piercing eyes
We are back to the Alcobaça monastery. After hours spent wandering around the lower levels, rooms, and balconies, I have reached the top level. One can easily start to envy the monks in a place like this.

See you next year, Poppy
Every year I wait impatiently for the poppies to show up. Some shy ones start to bloom very early in spring, but the peak is around May. That's when lawns (if not mowed) fill up with the delicate red petals.

One giant mess and I love it!
I really like this plant. It grows fast, looks pretty, blooms, and no amount of direct sun is able to kill it. I wish all the plants were like this one. Yes, it leaves quite a bit of mess too when the

How to ruin a beautiful church - Igreja Italiana de Nossa Senhora do Loreto

The never-ending chasing game
A few forest walks in the sprig resulted in very few butterfly photos. I wish there was more, and I saw more butterflies, but some were so shy that I could not get anywhere near them. They would tease

The deadly beauty - Misumena vatia
Those spiders do not seize to amaze me. Their ability to camouflage is stunning, and it often happens they have different colours depending on the place they hunt. If you are curious, go google them and
