The firebug and the chicory flower

Morning after morning I pass near that shaded chicory flower and wonder about taking a better shot, but today it was a little different: a firebug (Romanian: Vaca Domnului) was walking around, offering me the opportunity for a different take (yeah, in the backgrounds are blue chicory flowers and the fence is making difficult for me to shot them).

A bug’s life

On the look for the snail remake, I got one day unexpected help from a street dog: he was barking at the dirt, which made me look closely and notice his "enemy", this ugly bug.

Snail remake

Another remake for photos lost in the same accident, this time for the snails photoshot, which was somewhat easier: there are plenty of snails after a rainy night, you only need to find a way and re-capture the original enthusiasm for the shot. And that is hard.

Blue chicory remake

After they were lost in a terrible accident I tried a remake of the blue chicory shot, which was not easy since we are past their season. But I managed to find some, in deep shade where they resisted more, but the light was quite bad. So I don’t really count this as a success.

Peachey

Indeed, everything is doom and gloom with lost photos and thins like that, so you can’t savour even a peach (be it in literary of figurative sense).

… or that voice in my head saying a peach will make your day brighter is right? I guess that depends on the peach.

Beer as it should be

Beer: dark, strong, good and plenty of it. Exactly as it should be.

Breakfast

What’s your favorite type of breakfast, meaty (fried bacon and sausages with tomato and cucumber, pastries and maybe a pineapple slice) or fruity (fat yoghurt, raspberry jam and a fruit assortment)? "Both" is a valid enswer, but I liked the best the combination of jam and yoghurt.

Reflections

It may be completely unoriginal to play with reflections like this, but I couldn’t stop doing so:

Purple daisies

The saying is something like "if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it is a duck", so as if I don’t know much about flowers, it this looks like a daisy (but is purple) then it should be a purple daisy.

Daisy from Berlin

Daisies are beautiful and macros of daisies are also beautiful, of course.

Yellow close-up

Those look pretty much like some flowers from my garden, but I don’t know their name anyway.

Pizza

When the pizza is free and tasty and the beer is plenty and not excessively expensive all is good (it would be perfect if the beer was also free, but let’s not be that unreasonable). The fingers get greasy and people faces happy.

Flensburger

Mmmm… beer.. German beer… It should be cold and a lot of it.

Rain on the window

The weather in Berlin is about the same with what I left in Bucahrest: rainy.
