Poetry contest winner: "There is a story to tell"
Adriana

I invite you to read (or reread) his beautiful entry by clicking on the link below: There ...

Wall Art

I am privileged to live in a city with wonderful murals and wall art of all kinds. Among the graffiti tags and other less-than-beautiful use of wall space, there are countless works of art to be found, if one pays attention. Here is a selection of eight that caught my eye lately. #photography#urbanphotography#murals#wallart#10daysblackandwhite     Title: Mural do Compromisso (Commitment Mural) ...
"Barking" up the right tree
Adriana

Day 5 of the #10daysblackwhite challenge is dedicated to the many textures and shapes of #treebark . I was thinking of words to add to these photos, but in the end realised no words were necessary. Much like a person's skin, tree bark is more eloquent than words. Unless indicated otherwise, all the content posted here was created by me.

Doodling with the Microsoft stylus pen
Adriana

SITTING BY THE FIRE - Recently, I took a couple of days off. In this small country of mine, one hour's drive was enough to leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and dive head-first into the tranquillity of a countryside area not far from the beach. Two days, one night. Might not sound like much, but when you really commit to being fully in the moment, it's enough for your body and brain t...
