mid august, and I'm looking forward to snow and frost. It's sweltering here in this little apartment, where they cannot even turn off the heat! God help us. I don't know if I'll keep this account -- it does indeed seem like an excellent site, but I already have another... Continue reading

I was very lucky the other day, getting a few shots of blue jay. Put out a bunch of peanuts, waited patiently for about ten minutes ... then he showed up. Continue reading

It seems as if I've got myself a little job, even though I wasn't looking! It's a good thing. I haven't worked in more than five years ... almost six, and my self confidence has gone down a little. All this about the job, is thanks to my newly won friend here. It's quite amazing how things turn out when you think of it, really! Had I not joined that group in Flickr, nothing of this would have happened. For starters I'll only work two days a week. That could be good as I've been away from the work force... Continue reading

Sometimes I'm homesick. I never thought I would be and I have no reason, because I truly love this place where I am now. I'm not longing for any people back home ... not one of them. It's the place itself...the whole country. Just to walk the streets of my town ... all the buildings and names I know so well. With Christmas coming up soon, you often hear a song ... «I'll be home for Christmas» That's breaking my heart sort of, even though there's is noone there I'd like to spend Christmas with. It's nostalgia and my intellect... Continue reading

There are days I would just love to stay at home and sit around! This is one of them. BUT with this incredible weather for this date, I better take advantage of it. Won't be any pictures taken if I stay at home either. Yesterday was another brilliant day for starters, than the rain came and stayed overnight. That's all over. This cute face, I caught on picture yesterday. He looks like he wants to say Hi but is too shy :) Continue reading

It's easy to shoot nice photos when you get all the help from Mother Nature. These last few days have been out of this world, considering which month it is. I looked in to Typepad's paid-for accounts ... too pricey for me at this stage, or rather ... I can't justify it. I'll write my little posts here, basically for myself and I don't need all the other stuff. Even this editor here is great! I've moved and changed so many times in the blogging sphere...I just need to get over myself and write instead of dealing with all the... Continue reading

I will use this place and write until I'm blue in the face. Nobody knows who I am from «the other world», I can write about myself as much as I feel like without considering the others' opinions about that. I've spent a good deal of my life trying to comply and to understand others ...putting myself into their shoes, so to speak. For what good? Nobody has ever returned the favor. This may sound as I'm feeling sorry for myself, but nothing could be farther from the truth. I'm just fed up with that other kind of blogging I've... Continue reading

This was exactly what I needed ... NOT! A new blog! For a person who has absolutely nothing to write about, I have amazingly many blogs! I've always wanted to see what Typepad was like but they were always charging and I like free stuff. This is free! :) I love the editor, for starters. Lots of stuff can be customized here. Pretty cool how the color scheme changes according to your pic. I think though ... if they want to compete with Posterous, they'll get a hard time, but I'm not sure that's the case. Either way, that's not... Continue reading
