Friendly Friday grandmaster design

I’m quite sure that Snow Melts Somewhere had a different kind of design in mind for her and Amanda’s Friendly Friday photo challenge but I’m letting nature win this. Only proper.

All today’s photos were taken in the last two weeks, the majority during my first sockless walk yesterday. (Today was even a nicer day and I had another. I got bitten by ants. Socks are not all bad.)

To start with, there are three photos from the lovely 50th birthday celebration of a friend back in Slovenia with designs that caught my mouth, I mean eye.

We continue with three images from Rome where a cat house is waiting for a proper, brand new, incoming white cat. I can’t wait to see how bestia reacts when we next come on a visit! Generally he is wary of cats because a couple attacked him once unprovoked. But she is so young and female, I’m sure they will be friends.

And then I let nature take over during my yesterday’s lengthy walk to the station, slowly but surely, ending with a poppy explosion. They begged me for my camera to take a selfie and I let them. There it is in the featured photo.

For the very end, today I put the greeting card that I got for my birthday in a tree as promised. It says:

Trees are poems the Earth writes upon the sky.

Khalil Gibran

Thank you again, Miralem.

Conclusion: I live in a remarkable setting designed by the grandmaster.

• 

  My friend’s cake. It was as good as it looked. And those balls on sticks as well.

• 

  The celebration was at Livada restaurant in Ljubljana. A bit of hearts, a bit of clubs, as in life.

• 

  My friend’s relative makes these. So pretty.

• 

  Off to Rome now. Here it is, the cat house!

• 

  Cherries will be. I suppose they should have been by now but it was cold.

• 

  I wouldn’t mind having this design on a piece of clothing.

• 

  I keep an eye on this bougainvillea since I came to live here six years ago. Looking better and better all the time.

• 

  And now we move to the fields of yesterday and stay there. This design caught my eye.

• 

  This meadow is surprisingly difficult to photograph. It looks much better for real.

• 

  Our daily bread and blossoms.

• 

  As below…

• 

  …so above.

• 

  Then the poppies started to take over.

• 

  Do you see the flyer?

• 

  It was tricky to shoot toward the sun.

• 

  They look like in a mist.

• 

  Then I let them take some selfies (by placing the camera to the ground and they clicked.)

• 

  The evening after the first beautiful and warmish day in May.

• 

  The last photo of the day. Spot the yellow cactus blossoms. They are late too.

• 

  And today, the greeting card in the tree as promised. Four seasons. Let it last.
