In motion


Isn't it funny how many people are scared of anything that would buzz around them? The sound itself creates such a fear. Girls tend to jump around and scream. Why though, I ask.

We often value and adore anybody who can manage a number of tasks in a short time. What is more, they can do it all to perfection. How many times have we said '...as busy as a bee? Put this aside, just look at this image. Don't you find the colours of this creature sitting on another contrasting colour rather charming? Forget about the fear and just see the beauty around.



Have you actually ever observed the way both wasps and bees fly? It is a rather monotonous move yet keeps certain gracefulness. The time they take before they sit on a flower. How do they choose? Is it the colour?

I remember how close to me they would get when I was a child and had a sweet drink. Can they smell sweetness?

All these questions unanswered. Do you have any idea? Let me know. In the meantime, have a great week. I believe summer has finally arrived (at least a touch) so enjoy it. Kx

Natural elements


What a day we have had. Dark & rainy, bright & sunny, windy yet reasonably warm. How weird. Natural elements can catch us by surprise at various moments of the day.


This picture plays with the magic of light. It may look like mist but the image's charm lies in the way the sun hits its subject.

I was on my way home through the park on a spring evening. I guess it was the time of the year and the day that created such atmosphere. No wonder that more interesting pictures are taken on a not so sunny summery day...







A touch of wind during a rainy day and again, this image evokes a fairy-like beauty.


Straight away, I think of a touch-scary fairytale that could use such scenery. Let's say 'The Beauty and the Beast'?...






What we have here is a fog, or is it?

In fact, this was a cloud that swallowed us on a trip to the mountains. And as quickly as it came, it also left. The experience though was memorable.








Natural elements in their full power make us realise how insignificant we actually are and how fully reliable we can be on their mercy. Therefore, let's appreciate natural beauty in any of its face. It is definitely worth it, don't you think?
