Portrait Of A Dog

There are some geographical photo submission sites where it isn’t allowed to post pictures of pets. Fortunately, this is my own blog and I may post whatever I want. So today I am posting this nice photo which I like very much.

09/09/09

Yesterday was again one of those magical dates - now three nines - 09/09/09. So it was again very popular date for getting married. In the news it was that all times this day were booked long before.

It would be very interesting if someone made statistics after some 20 years - which of the dates turned out to be the luckiest - 07, 08, 09… May be 06?

Anyway - this photo isn’t from yesterday, this is other date, not so popular. But very significant to the people getting married then. Their date!

Grass Snake

Another photo of the same grass snake I posted here yesterday.

Grass Snake

We have two kinds of snakes here in Latvia. All other snake lookalikes actually aren’t snakes. This one is not poisonous and is called grass snake. Of course being not poisonous doesn’t hold back people from being scared of it.

Blue Cornflowers

We don’t call them cornflowers in Latvian, we call them rye-flowers because they grow mostly in rye fields. Very nice and romantic flowers.

Seaside

I guess there is not much to comment on this photo. So no comments today.

Seaside Flowers

Since I have become my own boss I am spending my summer by the sea. My day begins with running along the seashore, then swimming in the cool waters of the Baltic Sea, then working in much enjoyable environment than a loud city. And this is how it looks around here!

Swimming Bugs

Now this looks like a real vacation. +30 Celsius outside, nice cool water temperature. This is summer! Bugs are enjoying it. But not for long.

Bugs Group Photo

The bugs came more and more so we started to put them together to make a group photo. This is what came out - some 50 of them in the bowl. Nice view!

Seaside Bug

These bugs came out of nowhere and in some minutes they were all around the beach. I don’t know was it some kind of vacation for them after eating leaves off the trees or something? Next few days I will be posting more of them, so stay tuned!
