Cacti blossom

Due piccoli cactus ''a palla'' e tre favolosi fiori bianchi: ecco la fioritura annuale più incredibile del mio piccolo balcone!

Fiori effimeri, di breve durata, fotografati al volo col cellulare, la mattina appena sveglia. Al rientro, per pranzo, stavano già sfiorendo.

Meravigliosi, soprattutto quando appaiono ''riempiti di luce'', come nella prima di queste tre foto.

Ci rivedremo l'anno prossimo, fiorellini!

Two small ''bal'' cacti, and three gorgeous withe flowers: here's the yearly amazing bloosom in my tiny balcony.

Ephemeral flowers: they just leasted few hours, but so beautiful, expecially when ''filled'' by the sunlight, like in the first pic above.

See you next year, lovely flowers!

Dry phalenopsys flowers

there's something in dry flowers that attracts me a lot, and I found the perfect way to keep them and their appeal: glass holders, another passion of mine. look at this pic to see what I mean.

We are back!

After 10 dreamy days in Sicily, we are back home! This means in the next days I'm going to post a lot o pic of Sicily...it will be difficult to choose, we've visited amazing places!
in the meantime please enjoy some of my succulents beauties, they shine in the sun!

Here's a little guest: the pinenut spider (ragno pinolo: in Tuscany if they say ''feeling like a pinenut spider'' they mean ''feeling very good'')

Tiny messy spider in pink and green

Here's a corner of my livingroom: the shelf made from a woodden vintage shutter and  an orchid in a bright pink vase.

But look, there's a spider too....have you ever seen such a messy spiderweb? It seems to be trapped in his own web!

Orchids are amazing to decorate the house!

Friday my favourite

Calabria, Italy 2008

It has been a long working week, a lot of hard work ad no satisfacion back. Tomorrow we leave for tuscany, to meet my parents in law...I will be back with amazing pics of that beautiful land!

Another window

Because I love windows!

This pic was taken in San Giorgio Morgeto, Calabria 

Tulip

During a trip to the Netherlands I bought a bag of tulip bulbs: a lot of work to plant them but finally this has been the satisfaction I get! Such a beauty on the balcony worths the work I've done!

Succulents

Collectionable beautiful plants!

Robin redbreast & his friend, the squirrel

I met those two lovely creatures in Southampton, Uk, in 2007. I know, it is ordinary to meet squirrels and birds there, but I've enjoyed this so much I had to take pics. Sometimes it woth to be childish, it brings you a lot of unespected happiness.

Pic of the robin was not that good, so I had to zoom in and modify it a little bit, in order to make the bird visible...I'm not that happy witht he outcome, but it is a good memory rather tha a good picture!

Plants + bamboo shades

I love the effect of this combination!

Fall beauty

The gorgeous yellow background of the leaves in fall makes a stunning effect in those pics I took a couple of years ago. Here my schulumbergera was 'ready to pop'.... see here below the beauty of its flowers few weeks later:

Stunning pink flowers, a powerfull spot of color in the cold season...unluckily the golden leaves were already gone!

Flower, dew and ant

Today it's rainy and windy outside....I need pics with bright colors and sunshine!

This is a macro I shot in calabria, few years ago, hope you enjoy!

Yellow seasonal flowers

Summer, I'll miss you!

2013 summer started in this way for me: a trip to Sicily in May, to enjoy first days of sun and heat in an amazing land on the mediterranean sea. 

Once in a year!
