Springtime

A bronchitis, followed by a stomach flu, topped off with a sinus infection is so no fun!

My head is still throbbing and it feels like the cough is here to stay... BUT the sun has come out today and there are tulips in the house - I'll take this as a good sign.

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone and a beautiful start into spring for everyone living in the northern hemisphere.

Cranky

These past days or even almost two weeks, people have been cranky - unfriendly at best and sometimes even downright impolite. I've no idea why, maybe it's the crazy weather we've been having lately, whatever...

I noticed that the grumpiness started to rub off on me, which called for a little something to pamper myself... There's nothing like a lovely bunch of tulips to fight off a bad mood, isn't there? Except maybe some chocolate...

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Starting Over

Coming back here after such a long (unplanned) absence feels immensely awkward!

After obsessing for days about finding the perfect title for this post and the perfect photo to put up here, I decided to just take a photo shot with my iPhone and start all over again here on this deserted little corner of my online world...

In case someone is still reading - I missed you and I'm so happy to be back!

Texture Tuesday

Tuesday again already?!

I'm in a bit of a hurry today, but motivated by your encouraging words last week, I want to keep up that newly started routine of playing along again with Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday.

So - short and sweet - here I have another shot of fading hydrangeas, edited with one of my all-time favourite texture "edith" from Kim's Downton set:

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Here I Go Again…

After last week's experience, I decided to try and set up a routine for "doing something" with my photos. Not that I would need another item on my daily "routine list"… but I guess, I need to find some sort of regularity to get back at least a few of the skills I have forgotten.

So playing with textures it is again today for Texture Tuesday on a photo of one of my favourite subjects - and aren't hydrangeas just beautiful in every state?

I'm really grateful for this weekly link-up, as it helps me setting up a routine - not only for playing with textures, but also for showing up more regularly here again.

If you have any tricks how you stay in practice with your photo processing (and posting...) - I'd love to hear!

Have a wonderful week everyone! 

Texture Time

It's been ages since I last played with textures! In fact, it's been ages since I did anything at all with my photos other than uploading them from memory card to my computer.

I can tell you, it was not easy to choose a photo, and trying out textures after such a long time felt really, really awkward, but here it is...

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Wordless on Friday

I've started over this post more often than I'd like to admit, for some reason not knowing what to write or rather how to put my thoughts into words.

So maybe it's best to let flowers speak today…

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
