I have many passions, more than I can carry ... photography, the sea, the blue color, travel, cooking, music, film, art... life.

I noticed that it is good for me to post a flower before bed. It calms me down and drives away thoughts about the unpleasant things that usually run in my brain after I put my head on the pillow ... This is a flower, that is, the flower of a shrub that I do not know its name. I only know that I liked it very much as a child and I was fascinated by its intense scent.

Something to buy, something to sell ... In all the resorts we find such objects exhibited for sale, objects characteristic of the place, objects to buy as a souvenir or as a gift. The offer is so enticing that I can't help but buy, even if sometimes the money is low... #travel #photography

Before I go to bed, quite early (but I'm exhausted), I have to see some more flowers. Maybe this last image before I fall asleep will bring me a peaceful sleep and a long-awaited rest. Poppies are so fragile, the color so intense, they are among my favorite flowers. Moreover, for me, their flowering is a sign that I have to look for the sea!

I feel that the beach is waiting for me, almost deserted, far from hotels, restaurants, and crowds. Because this is my sea. There are two more weeks and I'm afraid something will happen that will stop me from getting there. Today there are 550 new cases of Covid, let's see how many there will be at the beginning of September ... #travel #photography
@BlueDan
To the island! Everyone with what they can, me with the ferry, the seagull with the flight ... In fact, what do I mean? Because you don't know how to get to your favorite place faster, where you feel good, where you have been dreaming of getting on vacation for a year! August is the holiday month, even if I prefer September ...

The day after the weekend, the day after Sunday is hard, even if for me it's not like that anymore, because I don't go to work anymore. However, 40 years of work made Monday not dear to me at all. Without any connection with everything I said before, I like yellow flowers and I find that they are the majority in my small garden. Do you like yellow flowers?

Some dogs are shyer, they hide from others, either humans or dogs. This is Dora, a very good dog, but shy. she likes to be left alone ...

Some of us live in those parts of the earth where there are only two seasons, others, as I am, live in a climate where there are four seasons a year. Certainly, these seasons differ even if they are called the same, both in the part with two seasons and in the part with four seasons. I thought that I could show what the seasons are like for me and I am waiting for someone who lives in a place with only two seasons to present us images from his country. Thus we will learn what this world is like, even if we cannot travel that far. In order for my journey to be complete, it must end where it began, that is, in the winter. Here I show the transition from autumn to winter ... #photography #seasons
@BlueDan
I continue the journey through the seasons, the time has come for summer. For me, summer means the sea! Even though I have to travel hundreds of kilometers, I try in every car to see the sea. I succeeded this year as well, even if I didn't get where I wanted to go. Instead, I found new places. Shabla, on the Black Sea, in Bulgaria. #photography #seasons #summer
@BlueDan
As some of you know, I thought I'd post a photo of each season. . Where I live there are four seasons, and yesterday I posted about winter. Now comes, of course, spring. The season of the first flowers. The season of flowering trees! #photography #seasons #spring
@BlueDan
I thought of putting a photo of each season. Where I live there are four seasons and now I start with winter because I need a little natural coolness. I just look at this image and I feel a chill on my skin. Winter in my little yard ... #photography #seasons #winter
@BlueDan
This is what happens when you are undecided and don't choose before putting it on the stove. Fish or sausages? Easy or hard to choose? Definitely easy for vegetarians ...
@BlueDan
This summer is hot and we are trying to hide somewhere from the too strong sun. A place at a table, in the shade, even in the smallest yard, like mine, is a joy. When the rains come I will look for an umbrella ... when winter comes I will stick to the stove ...
@BlueDan
Life in the countryside. Those who grew up in the country and then moved to the city stay alive with the nostalgia of life, maybe harder, but so beautiful and healthy in the country. My younger brother stayed in the country and every time I visit him, I enjoy everything in his yard.
@BlueDan
Have you ever thought about the roots of trees that could be fingers? As an image. The old trees, with cracked bark, look like elephant legs and the roots look like fingers spreading across the ground.

I don't like to break flowers. We know a lot about plants, we learn at school, we read but I think we don't know everything. The plant is something alive, grows, lives, and dies. Almost like us humans. That's why I'm reluctant to break a flower ... I bought these from the market.
@BlueDan
I like to see exhibitions of paintings, even if the painter is still unknown. Talent and art can be found in unsuspected places. Yesterday I saw a painting exhibition, after more than a year off. Although the painter was a stranger to me, I really liked his paintings. Used to go to exhibitions?
@BlueDan
On weekends, there are several important boulevards that are closed to cars. They remain open only to pedestrians for walking. This is a wonderful initiative of the authorities, I am really surprised that it is happening. Less pollution and more movement!
@BlueDan
In the city where I live, Bucharest in Romania, is the second-largest administrative building in the world, after the Pentagon. It is about the Palace of the Parliament, built during the communist period of the country under the name of the People's House. Everything seen in this image was built in the 80s, after a large part of the historic center of the city was demolished. Buildings of great architectural value disappeared then. Because of this, most residents don't like the Parliament building.
@BlueDan
I don't like cold seasons, winter, and the pieces of autumn and spring that mix with winter. But now, after so many stiflingly hot days, I remember with pleasure the autumn that was preparing to turn into winter. I am sure now that when it is winter I will have a heartbreaking longing for summer. Human inconstancy!
@BlueDan
I think all people take a look at a window that behaves like a mirror and reflects the image. We want, we don't want, the mirror attracts us, the image it shows attracts us ... Do you have this habit too? This photo from a seaside resort reflects the sea in a hotel window. The rest of the characters are fleeting and can be ignored!
@BlueDan
I live in a big city and I have a small yard. I wish it was the other way around! Because the yard is small and because my family loves plants and trees, I crowded as much as I could in both ways. This is not exactly good for plants, once they grow in each other and don't grow properly and, because there are trees, they provide shade, very good for me but sometimes not very liked by the small flowers wanting to sun. I have several rose bushes and I will try to bring them here. Today I start with a small bush of dark red roses, almost black.

What could be done this summer if travel is out of the question? I think it's best to look near the house or city where we live, a place with a generous nature and an equally generous shade. Walking or cycling. A natural way to cleanse stress in us.
@BlueDan
Dear colleagues, would you like to be a child again? Looking at the perspective of age and experiences so far, the answers may be different but I think few would miss the chance to take it from the beginning! Even if you think I'm not honest, in this collage I mainly watched ... the shadow.
@BlueDan
The sea still calls us, we hear it but, unfortunately, it is harder to reach it. I speak on behalf of those who live far from the sea. The nostalgia of the past travels embraces us and we extinguish the longing with older photos. When I talk about the sea, I don't mean luxury and expensive resorts and hotels. I prefer the small and wild beach, without people, where to be alone with the big sea!

You know what the sunflower looks like after losing its petals. It is the time when the seeds mature and will not be harvested for a long time. By cold pressing, we obtain a very good quality oil, but most of it is processed industrially and a super-refined oil is obtained, but which loses its initial qualities.
@BlueDan
The sunflower is the summer flower, a flower quite common in the posts here. Usually, being a flower that is cultivated for its seeds, we find it in the fields, in large fields. But there is also the decorative sunflower, cultivated only for the flower. I also planted some seeds in the spring and now I have the reward, they have blossomed. The sunflower in my yard!

One of the most famous intersections in Bucharest, the capital of Romania. At the University! This is its name. Here are two famous buildings of the city, the Intercontinental Hotel, which was for thirty years the tallest building in the city, and the National Theater of Romania. I live on the outskirts and after I retired I didn't go through this place too often. I was there recently and I was surprised to see that a statue appeared in the middle.
@BlueDan
Sunrise. Not at sea, not in the mountains. Sunrise on the plain, on the outskirts of the city. I had to get up very early in the morning to see the sunrise ...
@BlueDan
Among the many things I have not done in this life is riding a motorcycle. The motorcycle offers speed, freedom, a certain image to rebel, but also less pleasant disadvantages, such as lower comfort, direct exposure to the effects of the weather, and less protection from accidents. Beyond all these disadvantages, probably all young people dream of a motorcycle. Me, less, because I'm not young anymore ...
