One of the advantages of this digital era we're living in right now is, that there could be evidence of almost everything. There's a word, digital footprint and if you know what it is, or what it means, you know how many we leave behind.
Yesterday, while I was searching for some photos of my laptop and components, came across a lot of nice photos I took a few years ago and today I thought I take a walk back memory lane and post some of them. The reason is the changing seasons.
My country officially has four seasons. Yes, you read it right, I wrote officially, because in reality we only have three. Some seasons are extended and some are non existent, like spring for example, or should I say we have a couple of weeks of spring, then jump into summer with both feet.
Winters have become more milder and longer as well. The fact that temperatures are mild, doesn't bother me much, if you want real winter with snow and low temperatures, you can still go up to the mountains, but getting more grey, gloomy days is not something I fancy. Anyway, let's see what I brought to you today.
This photo was taken in November, 2022, the last time I saw fog. This is my favorite place to go to, when it's foggy, but unfortunately there's never enough foggy to be able to take the photo I like.
This is the best you can get, which is not enough for my taste.
The reason I like this place so much is because there are two very cool U turns and if the fog is dense enough, you can see the road disappearing, then appearing on the other side of the photo. Please disregard the bin and the scooter. There was no way to avoid them.
I remember I took this photo the same day and never found it after, till now. This is some kind of tinder, grown on a tree and found it interesting.
Another thing I love to photograph late autumn or early winter is the fruit of the ivy. Yes, it's not grapes, these are tiny fruits taken with macro lens. There was a frost and I was lucky to be in the right place the right time.
And this is da house! The very one that I love to photograph, no matter the season and you can see why. This photo was taken in May, 2022.
And this is da house in October, same year. Can you see the difference? Can you see why I love it? But this is not all.
This photo was taken three days before the previous one. What I'm trying to say here is that at some point, the whole house is turning red. It's difficult to know when, so I have to visit it often, to take a nice shot, when the whole ivy cover is red.
A random cutie pie I met at the crosswalk, in April, 2023.
And this is a photo I love so much. This scene can tell you a lot, if you know how to read it. Now I'm undecided, whether to tell you what I mean, or leave it to you to figure it out. I guess this will be your riddle for today. Tell me what you see here.
Last, but not least, a peony but, from May, 2026. These should be budding now, but I have not seen any yet. April was cold, maybe they are a bit late. I love peonies, they are wonderful, too bad they don't last for long and make a mess as well.
