Heart of Dawn

Taken at a nearby field ... the heart was almost perfectly shaped, so it's not my 'invention'. And even if it's not as sharp as it should be, I believe it's a nice pick to brighten the day. ;)

Frostwork

Christmas ornaments take many different forms, from a simple round ball to highly artistic designs. Well, I have found a very special ornament this years – a natural one. Do you recognize it? Yes, it's a frozen dandelion also known as blow-ball. I won't put it on my tree, but it's a nice photo for this year's Christmas cards.

Let's fly


Little Fly, 
Thy summer's play 
My thoughtless hand 
Has brushed away.


Am not I 
A fly like thee? 
Or art not thou 
A man like me?

                            (William Blake)


There are a few flaws, but I wanted to share it anyway since it's winter and I'll have to wait 4 or 5 months to get another chance of catching such reddish eyes again.

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
