At times a resolute and sweet approach to some problems can be the only solution…

[Or a good way for a kitty to get whatever it wants ]

I love the different ways an image can help recalling a bunch of emotions and memories that I’d have forgot otherwise.

We, people, usually take pictures for important moments: weddings, anniversary, important religious event in a person life (e.g. the first communion pictures for a catholic) or just simple travel pictures. This is what I define a “linear” way of recalling event. Those pictures directly help you recalling about that special day.

There are, instead, pictures like the this one

that just speaks to the hearth of who had took that, and eventually, to those who were with the “photographer” in the moment he/she took that picture.

You guys would see just a little turtle. You are right but…

the little turtle reminds me of the table on which she’s placed, of the balcony where this table stay.
It reminds me of the door that bring from the balcony to the kitchen, and therefore I remember of the webmaster sitting at that table trying to save Merins’ laptop and all the data stored there. It reminds me of Merins talking, offering me the ice cream, asking me if I were still playing with the turtle.
It reminds me that few minutes later, while I was still trying to take picture of that turtle, Merins’ daughter, that we will just call Sunshine, woke up.
It reminds me of Sunshine coming on the balcony with one big smile to say me “hi”.
It recalls me of Sunshine’s surprised expression when she saw and liked this picture! (I’ve felt so proud in that moment, sorry! ^_^)
It also recall the moment when Sunshine tried to open a coconut, and how we all cooperated (i’ve funny picture of this moment too). It was tasty!
Oh yeah, that little turtle will always make me thinking of that “salmon color” sauce on the pasta that Merins prepared for dinner, and for the melon and the webmaster’s disgusted face at tasting it (bad guy!).
This picture will always be one of those little things that will make me recalling of Sunshine’s smile that after dinner, holding her laptop, asks with a little jump “Who wants to play to Trivia?”. (I’m not sure of the game name).
And the way Merins looked at us playing. She was behind us but at time I was able to look at her smile in a reflection on the TV… like a mama, like what she is.
It reminds me of the many time we laughed… and how the webmaster looked like a little tired baby.

That’s what I love of taking pictures, they are the way I don’t need much words or images to remember each detail of a whole day… even after several years.

Or in a simpler way, it will always testify the way a simple picture can make you thinking of the great value of friendship.

Today we (me and my family) had lunch and spent the afternoon-evening time at the house where my brother lives. I played with the kitty (read:I’ve taken picture to her), and then I tried to study a little while Java was sleeping beside me.

If wasn’t that at certain point, for only God knows the reason, she jumped on my stomach (I was kinda curled up with my book) and got back sleeping on my astrophysics book. I’d have never thought a book could have been more comfortable than an armchair…

I tried, of course, taking a few picture of Java sleeping on “astrophysics knowledge”… but light wasn’t great and position even less great since the book, and therefore the cat, was on my lap and I was sitting not exactly in the proper way…beside these aspects, I was using my father’s lens that is great because it’s an f 1.4 but it doesn’t focus thing that are closer than 45cm and it’s like a big zoom (on my camera it’s an equivalent of about 100mm). This last aspect usually is something good, but if you have to take a decent shot of a very very close subject a great aspect turns into a little problem.

Then I made her going back to sleep beside me and I kept on reading/trying to study.

I had lunch with the webmaster on the port dock. I wanted to go there, close to the sea, for my birthday.

This sparrow was without a paw and standing on this gate, it seemed so “not feeling good” as it were in a cage.

The very first picture taken to Java that came the day of my birthday but not for me… not completely at least.

Amazing coincidences…

My brother pretending to be thinking

Java-the-cat looking around (or at “that damned flashing thing!”), from a new point of view.

I’m still trying to figure out who is the wisest of the two…

If I thought this situation might have a meaning, I would think it can means something like: “Don’t give up!”.
If …

The cat was on a wall and the bird on the beside tree “twittering” toward the cat.
It sounded like the bird was mocking the cat.

The magpie flew to a lower branch, so the cat jumped and tried to climb up the tree to reach the bird.

Then, the magpie flew away on a much higher branch, but the cat kept on looking at it.

I took out my camera while insulting myself to have lost the action I’ve just tried to describe with words.

I got closer to the cat and the webmaster made a noise to make the cat turning toward me. That’s what I caught:

It looked like the cat was thinking “I wish I were able to fly”.

Despite I am glad it didn’t catch the bird (I like those birds) I thought: “Yeah, I wish I were able to fly too…”

Just woke up, I hear an interesting twittering and saw this little guy

A nice way to start a day

My brother and I tried to take it, because my brother wanted to bring it at his home (where he has a little garden) and take care of it.

Apparently  the kitty didn’t enjoy our idea so I guess we just got to make it feeling hunted.

It kept on hiding inside, behind or under cars till, at 2 am, we gave up and let it at peace.

In the early afternoon it came back.
A young woman living in this building left some food for it.
I was glad of this because while the kitty was eating I have the chance to take some pictures.

As always, if I start taking picture of something people around becomes curious and at times it isn’t that good.

Indeed, I guess that if you are kitty and you are surrounded by 4 people you’ll start getting really irritated…

However, it is still a little cute kitty that gets scared easily:

I’m pretty sure it will always find food here and I think this is at least a good thing…

Hoping well for it.
