| Rome | Italy |

Tree branches dipped in icicles, twisting into makeshift stars within reach of my fingertips. The streetlamp cast a faint, orange glow through the translucent frost and the sky mixed a palette of violet and blue acrylics. I stopped several feet from the end of that pathway and looked up. And if it were not for my face absorbed by the heavens, tears would have spilled and melted the snow beneath my feet.

Termite photos = slow day in the rainforest

Auch eine neue Variante, Anhänger mit Ohrringen.

Also a new variant, pendant with earrings.

To me, these delicate Cherry Blossoms petals almost appear translucent in this shot. I've been very busy taking pictures of these flowers before they are all gone. I wish Cherry Blossoms bloomed all year long. But since they don't, I gotta enjoy them now. :)

Sometimes the moment paints itself and I'm just happy to have the holga's way of remembering when my own fails.

This is how it needs to be seen

Smaller than the head of a knitting needle this little one grows through the moss on the side of a tree, emerging, it points upwards. Transparent.

Jellyfish galore.

Going through some more old photos I took and doing some Photoshoping I didn't know back then. Back then I was using one called "Jasc Paint Shop Pro "
