After spending about the half of my life in the biggest city in Bulgaria, Sofia, I have to say that nowadays I really appreciate and enjoy the village life.
Even at the moment when I am writing this post, I am looking at the trees and bushes in the garden. From time to time I am getting distracted by the birds flying between the trees. It is simply awesome to be able to make a few steps and be outdoors. True, to live in a house is much bigger responsibility that living in a flat. For instance I have a running list of urgent and not-so urgent repairs to do and trust me, this list is never shorter than ten bullet points. Even sometimes when I check one of those tasks, two or three new appear. Well, I don't complain, as I kinda started to enjoy those repairs that I do mostly by myself. Hiring handy-men is really difficult and in the most cases, very expensive.
Another great advantage I have here is that I see the most of the sunset, from the garden. As in the summer, it is very hot and I am using the time in between the golden hours, the sunset and the blue hour to water the garden. I also enjoy the clouds, and sometimes the cloudscapes a lot.
There aren't much edible plants in our garden, a handful of vegetables and a few trees but for instance, while I am writing this post, I am cooking a jam, prepared totally from the fallen fruits - four sorts of apples; plums, peaches, quinces and one lemon. Its aroma is really divine and inspirational, and I think I have to stop writing now as this is getting too long and nobody is going to read it anyway :D
You probably know by now how much I love Black & White or sometimes referred as Monochromatic photography. I have always believed that while Color Photography shows the external part of our world, Black and White Photography shows the soul, the inner hidden side of everything. Please consider the first photo of this post as my entry today to the established #monomad daily contest by the monochromes account and community and supported by the qurator account, thank you everyone for your hard and continuous efforts to build and grow this great community!
