It's Coffee Time!

Not so long ago I came across an interesting signboard 'Kavarna' in a nearby town and, since I'm a huge fan of coffee and 'kavarna' is the Slovene word for a café, I just couldn't resist to take a photo of it. The original colours were a bit harsh on the eyes, so a colleague has suggested to give it a try in the Pop Art Studio. As you can see it was fun!

The Butterfly Effect

Small Heath (Coenonympha pamphilus)

The photo was taken on a sunny afternoon in my living room a few months ago. When I saw the butterfly I immediately got the idea of catching its reflection in the window. It took me about an hour to capture the right angle – not much if I consider the end result. So the next time you see a butterfly or a ladybird on your window, give it a try! You might be surprised how easy a ''Picture Perfect'' photo might be done.

Scars of Time

    ... Scars of time left on my skin along with those I've kept within ...

1, 2, 3 – How Old Are We?

Counting the spots to see how old they are? Stop.

Different ladybugs have different numbers of spots and the spots are with them all their life. They don't get more spots as they get older, nor do they lose spots. But if you're interested in their age: the spots do fade as they get older. :)

Feathers on a Rainy Day

Taken on a boring rainy day at a lake ... thanks to Photoshop the outcome was not so bad after all.

The Beauty of Sun and Its Flowers

  I see you there in glory shining bright,
  Following the sun and its path of light.
  Standing tall above all others in the field,
  You grow, conquer, and do not yield.
