Finally, the Covid pandemic seems to be drawing to a close. We are back in school and back to the office after 4 months of home-school and working from home. Despite the fact that I like staying at home as much as going outside, four months of restrictions and saturation of particularities of living in […]
Oyster Pirates and a Poet
It is mindboggling how a world can change in a 100 years. So much so, that an occupation that was infamous at the turning of the last century, not only does not exist in this century, but people have a hard time understanding what it actually is. An Oyster Pirate was basically a name for […]
Virus and Earthquakes
Happy New year 2021. 😀 aaaannnd, shit did not start positively, despite our high hopes. We have arrived to the situation that we have worked so hard to avoid – we got infected, yes with Covid-19. Although, my sinuses got inflamed too, to the point of bleeding, but I am not sure that is one […]
Special opportunities for a clear mind
Time flies by and my blog stagnates without any creative surge on my side. Even a swan photo-shoot on the snowy Ljubljanica river bank a few weeks ago did not raise my creative enthusiasm. Although I did enjoy it, despite my growing frustration at the performance of my long-lens. When one does not create, according […]
Of Swans, Lights and a Plastic Bottle

120 Years
This was supposed to be a special year. I suppose it is a special year, but not for all the pleasant things that should make special. It is special due to so many unpleasant and worrying things that are connected with climate change, corona virus, rise of civil unrest, resurgence of white nationalism, TRUMP and […]
Plan A, Plan B, Plan Whatever
Plan A for my birthday was – 1. Take the day off, 2. Get the kids to school and the wife away to work, 3. Play Fallout 4 whole day. At 8.01 in the morning the computer crashed (it took me until this Saturday, in total more than one week, to get the computer working […]
The 4 and 0
While the world seems to be rushing into chaos (these are just a few clues or some evidence for my statement: Coronavirus causing a worldwide pandemic with disastrous economical and social implications; a different pandemic of widespread mistrust in science and experts, giving birth to numerous self-proclaimed holders of the real truth calling for the […]
The Measure of a Day
When we were young, the answer to the title was simple – dirt. The more of it was on our bodies at the end of the day, the better the day was. There is no better measure for the amount of fun in my opinion. My kids are too often too clean, probably also due […]
