Hello!

Simple pleasure

There you have me, I was lost but now the pictures found me again!!!

This one in particular just jumped from my archives to let me know it was time to be published, since it's beach season.

I know that most of us, when thinking about beach, think bikini, sunscreen, maybe a book and for certain sand!

But beach season can mean just holidays, relax time and enjoying the sun.

For sure for me it means water, not that I dive very often in it but I have to see it.

Living in the countryside made me be certain that green is not enough, even if its seas of green, it doesn't reflect the light and that, that is the true horizon that I want to live by.

Exception 2

This is spring

Hello spring!!
So:  book,  landscape, clear sky, what else can we ask for?
A good picture would be nice...
But the camera stayed at home... I never learn...
The phone was once again there, so click...with the most ordinary technology available I took a picture, and was still amazed with the result. Good light and specialty  the depth that I saw was captured.
Please old old Nikon don't be sad ok?

Back to Portuguese light

Sunset

I was walking slowly...The rocks were tricky, I had my eyes glued to the ground, so what did I see?

The sunlight doing what it does beter, enlighten and embellish the things that it strikes, I had to take it!

"STOP, don´t move, stay still!" 

So, from that beautiful ride that we took at the sunset, at the edge of a quiet dam with astonishing views, what is left are rocks... and feet...

Is it so strange? I don't think so, because when I finished the film, and thought about the pictures in there, this was the photo I was more eager to see printed...

Home

Lisbon, Portugal

Living abroad makes you feel homesick, day yes....day yes. Not quite so, but almost. And the winter in England doesn't help... Am I repeating  myself? Have  my "saudade" been noticed before?

Anyway, since this is a photography blog and not a diary, let me tell you about this photo. The colors there are real, no need to edit it.

Are there many capitals in the world that have those colors and contrast? Maybe many more, but this is mine!

Exception 1

Jams

It is not a good idea to start a blog and immediately change the rules...This photo was taken  not with my old Nikon camera, but with my mobile phone...But I love it so much that I thought: "Once in a while, including phone photos is not that bad, is it?"
I made pancakes, set the table, prepare the jams, and then said to my husband : "Look, what a beautiful light! I should take a photo of that", and  then you know how it goes...the phone was just right there...
