Spring ladies:)

A few days ago, I made a small daisy-chain. Then, I was trying to put it on my dogs' heads. It was very difficult in case of the smaller one. She kept turning her head backwards so that the daisy-chain was falling down. The bigger one, on the other hand, didn't care what was put on her head and she was so patient that I was able to take some photos of her. The background in these pictures is not pretty, but I could not convince them to change their location. Apparently cold dross is the best place to spend Sunday mornings :D

Sunday

Yesterday, I was riding my bike and I noticed a bunch of various flowers growing next to someone's fence. I stopped and took some photos as they were really pretty. Each flower kind was different. I don't know names of them. Maybe You can recognise these beauties?

White beauty

These beautiful Magnolia flowers were found by me and my husband while our first bicycle trip during this spring.

Finally...

Finally after maaaany weeks of passive existance, there is hope for real spring. My body and my mind desire sunny warm days. I was desperately looking forward to see the first signs of spring, and I have finally seen the first crocuses today. I know that the weather isn't bad since the first day of spring, but my idea of this season is slightly different. As for me it should be warm and sunny from the beginning. Well, that's who I am, I hate winter, cold and everything what's connected with them. But enough about me... These are my today's photos :)

Minerals - part three.

The third and so far the last part of photos which present minerals show a small piece of a topaz. I would like to tell you that all the minerals that are shown on my blog come from my brother's collection. He's got some amazing examples of many different minerals.

Minerals - part two.

Today I want to show you a couple of agates. I love the shapes that are hidden in these minerals. Only after taking macro photos you notice some new lines or colours. I'm going to borrow three macro rings from my friend. There are some parts of these agates that shoud be enlarged but my current equipment is not good enough to do this.

Greetings;)

Minerals - part one.

After a long break caused by the end of the term at school (very busy time for a teacher), I finally started to photohraph again. The weater in Poland resembles late autumn so you won't see any landscapes on my blog. I focus on minerals and water drops during the winter holiday that has just started.

Today, I present a mineral that has been bought as a souvenir during our last summer holidays.
Greetings to everyone;)

New Year's Eve 2010

New Year's Eve was a time of learning how to shoot fireworks. I had been reading articles about the proper technique before, but that night was to be a practical course. There were some beautiful, colourful fireworks visible from my backyard, but apparently my reflex failed. I managed to capture some of the small ones. These are the results.

Happy New Year!

We're having beautiful winter this year. There are many sunny days and the frost makes the world magical. Trees are all white and they look wonderful against the blue sky.

Happy New Year everybody!

Old times

Christmas has passed and I haven't had time to write anything here. I'm going to catch up a little bit today.

I will start with showing You what I found during Christmas, when I was spending time with my family at my grandmother's. What we found there were four thick albums with my grandparents' old photos. They covered times of their youth as well as the war, the births of their children and weddings of their friends and relaives. What I like most are photos of hiking trips my grandpa went on. He loved mountains as much as I do. It's a wonderful feeling watching him walking familiar trails in the mountains that haven't changed at all since then.
Here are some pictures I liked the most.

The man on the left is my grandfather.

The girl on the left is my mum, the other one is her sister.

I also love the photos of architecture that was taken by my grandparents' friend. I have never been good at this kind of photos. He captured the buildings and building sites so professionally that I really find his pictures motivating.

I hope You enjoyed a little old fashioned photography. Greetings to everyone;)
