Tuesday afternoon, I’m home sick with a bad cold. Took the morning to sleep and was planning to blog on the afternoon. But we have stormy weather today and lights are down. The no breakers are beeping like crazy, which does not help. Yet, I committed to post everyday this month, so doing what I… Read more

It was a small apartment building. 3 floors, 2 apartments on each. Mrs. Bayle has been there since forever, the oldest tenant in the building. She was the one who kept the flowers hanging at the porch. The building was not a masterpiece of architecture, all white, old, non-attractive. She kept the flowers to beautify… Read more

In the pre-Columbian era, Marajó island, at the mouth of the Amazon River, in Brazil was inhabited by a society named Marajoara. The pre-Columbian society may have ended, but the tradition on how to ornate artifacts still remains on the culture of the region, where natives continue to create artifact from pottery or other materials with… Read more

For this week’s challenge, I chose to have a few pictures of horizon and some that are not of a horizon. Amongst those I have a couple that I guess could be included into the Multiple horizons category. For all the edits I’ve made, I used Fotor app on my PC, using the Straighten tool… Read more

Today I guess I’ll go over and beyond with the NaBloPoMo and post twice! But the subject that I want to write today, has to be today. November 13th. That’s the date of my great-aunt Lygia’s birthday. She’s not among us anymore for quite a while now (18 years???), but she’s someone the entire family… Read more

The world was colorful and happy. Except for Griswald. Griswald lived in the gray forest and liked it like this. He didn’t care about colors and happiness. For him the entire world could be gray. But that was not really his problem. As long as people didn’t bother him, he would keep quiet on his… Read more

This is the second week of the One Four Challenge for November. Then, for this week’s edit, I decided to make it look more like fall (or maybe end of a hot summer), with more earthy colors. To accomplish that, I tried several different things on both Fotor on the PC and Photo Editor on my phone. But… Read more

“Mommy, mommy, look! The tree and bushes are catching fire! Look, they’re all yellow and red and orange.” “Oh, sweetie-pie, that’s not fire, it’s the leaves changing color for autumn.” “Changing color?” “Well, every year we have 4 seasons. Remember Winter? We went skiing and built a snowmen?” “Yeah, it was cold!” “In Winter there were… Read more

She felt cold. Even in summer. She felt cold inside. Like her heart was made of ice. She was lonely and had no one. Life had taken from her what she loved the most. Her husband and kid are not in this world anymore. At work, she feels isolated from her peers and would barely… Read more

The Summer was hot and dry. The sun was implacable. Not a little distraction would be gone without being noticed by it and light up into a fire. The mountain tops were ablaze. Sometimes closing in to residential areas, forcing people to evacuate from their own houses. As the flames leapt skyward, the quality of the… Read more

The picture I show here was originally planned to be used in October, but October ended up being a crazy month so I dropped some of my projects, including this one. 😦 But fear not, there is always the next month, right? And here I am using my picture in November’s edition of the One… Read more

She lived a life that some would describe as being on edge. For being adventurous, but also for getting into financial trouble after her adventures… One day, she could not believe her eyes, when she saw a sign announcing a 5 acre lot on sale for 10 cents. 10 cents????? She didn’t think twice and bought… Read more

“Hey Martha, they are holding the doughnut contest again this year. How about we participate this time? I even got an idea of how to make it.” “That’s cool. Yeah, let’s do it. What’s your idea?” “A pothole doughnut!” “Huh????” “Yeah, we can make a big, big doughnut, then make it look like a street… Read more

She had loved him since they met. And so did he. But they couldn’t be together. His wife’s family was very powerful and a divorce would never be accepted. They loved each other in silence and disguise. Now he’s gone. A funeral is being held and she can’t show up. But she needs to say farewell… Read more
