New toys for me.

Umm, wait ... I mean, for my girls (cats).

😁😛😆

I really can't resist them. At least these ones are all small.

Just a Little AI doing her dishes today

One of my babies :))

I have 5 of this kind...

They are so magical charming plants with big heart shaped leaves, no flowers, all green, the leaves are so smooth that they can reflect the sun lights and look like as they are shining by themselves, I love to hold every leaf with my hand and wipe it with the other so they can shine more... and listen to them talking !! :)

I couldn’t spend a lot of time with them these days, I looked at them today and feel as they are gently blaming me :(

so I brought at once some water and cotton, and began to clean the leaves, then spray some extra water to remove away any left pieces, and I was so happy how they shined again, and they were more happy getting refreshed :)

Love that feeling when holding gently the leaf and washing it and imaging them shaking themselves happily with the cool water, and at the end thanking me :)

But I wonder, who washed the other ? .... got it ? :)

Have you ever feel with plants thanking you for caring of them ? it’s Awesome :)

I have to spend more time with them !!! :)

And Life is Beautiful ♥ ...... let it shine with green :)

* Bird update:

He’s doing fine, no one could answer my callings, they are miles away and can’t come, so... he depends on himself and us, we are still watching him.

He is so naughty, he bite me and scratched my hand, when ever he sees us he runs inside a hole fast, the good news: I think his mother is still around, because he’s getting stronger and Ma says he is bigger than he was few days ago, and today he tried to fly, so hopefully maybe by the end of tomorrow or the day after he would be gone free :)

Thank you all for the advices and wishes !

Update 31 May:

I'm so sorry, he didn't make, he was so weak :(

Volterra, Italy

This time I went to the less frequented courtyards of the old part of the Bałuty district (one of the districts of Łódź).

Sometimes you can still find there pictures of life like from many, many years ago. Decaying wooden cellars for firewood, strings with washing and many other treats for the photographer. I gave this photo a sepia color as it was even more in keeping with my idea of this place.

In this view for me there is some peace and carelessness despite the passage of time.

Take advantage of the sun, draw on the garden flags...

Thank you for all the wonderful comments :)

Getting ready to make apple strudel :)

The thing I enjoyed the most in Porto was simply walking around the atmospheric backstreets.

Five Nights in Porto

The washing in the river in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, is a job for the men. It looked like really hard work.

Back street Nice, drawn in as always by the crustiness of these old buildings.

HWW!

Goldcrest in the middle of having a wash in the shallow pool of the stream in the local park.

Christchurch Park.

I picked out this image of these historic buildings tottering on the edge of a sheer drop in the small Tuscany town of Sorano southern Italy. I used a 400mm lens, I love the women hanging her washing out.

I like colourful washing lines because they mean sunny days.

Brighten up washing day with a little bit of grunge!

Inspired by Andrew Wyeth.

They were three sharing room and bed.

my sister and her diet fruit..

Spring means power-washing the netting and windows at the back of the house. The netting seems to protect most birds from hitting the glass. This measures less than 3 inches / 7.62 cm., but looks quite large. (Cropped.)

Decals did nothing to prevent deadly bird concussions the year we moved here.

This is a closeup with the micro/macro lens against the glass to catch the water and net in an abstract way.

The goldfinches cling to it to peer inside our house, it seems. During February when temperatures became so record-breakingly cold, hummingbirds perched on top of the string out of the wind.

This is NOT for MacroMondays! This was more blue, but that looked cold. I warmed it up ;)

Hand Washing Machine made by Home Comfort not sure of the age of this marvelous devise, but old, I think this would be best used as a big flower pot, it is not very user friendly, found in the Carolina's.

Clothes hanging out to dry in a Macau backstreet.
