I don’t want to think today

Just wanted to show this semi-hidden “beauty” in a Sicilian park

Ortensia

The first “public” shot taken with the new Leica v-lux 2.

That’s an slr-like camera, not a reflex but a good camera… i know that there is an essentially equal panasonic camera, but i don’t have to explain to people my choice

Unknown little flower

A good day

Rising from darkness (?!)

I wonder if I should rename my blog “If I were an artist”… i keep on taking/editing pictures and trying to think about titles, but I always end up thinking that all these titles are a little, well… , a little too”artist” like. ^_^

Spring is back (What a news!) and with spring sunflowers are back!
I planted the first set of 3-sunflower-seeds on March 28th, one sprout yesterday morning, a second has came out today… no news about the third yet!
Despite I already know how all this “seed-sprout-plant-bossom-flower-seeds-etc” potentially endless sequence, I still find it amazing enough to repeat my actions, my words, my thoughts and my thanking to have had the chance to see this show once again.

Am I talking like a 90 year old woman? Maybe. 

Am I as wise as an 90 years old woman? Not at all!

Spring comes slowly

In the Italian version of this post I borrowed Rondoni’s words to express what I thought while and after I have taken this picture.

This Italian author express a really interesting concept in the few lines I found on the Italian version of Traces journal, but I don’t feel good enough in English to translate someone’s words from Italian to English language.
Therefore, for the first time since I have opened this blog, I have to write 2 different posts… In the English version of the post I want to just report the “meaning” of the few words of this author writing that made me thinking about the picture I had taken on Sunday under a light rain.
Those lines helped me saying what this simple picture meant to me: the idea that Spring comes slowly, with little changes of colors and air. This “slow motion” that you can see a feel in these weeks has always fascinated me, but I have never been able to express this through words…till today I was able only to take pictures of this idea.

I hope Rondoni won’t mind I had used his words this way. ^_^

Rose

Christmas Rose

Late December: what a perfect period for rose blooming.

Another unedited picture

Orchid, again

Just a new orchid

I think I’m a kind of “orchid” addict, I’ve serious problems to not buy one of them when I go to a flowers shop…
