This is how it looks when our kids play on the rope swing that I hanged on our nut tree.

121 - Love
I was not sure what or how to grasp the theme of Love this time. And suddenly we were sitting in front of the notebook and its webcam. My daughters were eager to see themselves in it and we had awesome fun as we tried to capture some funny grimaces. I then only cropped them, used Picasa to make a collage from them, and was amazed by the result...

120 - Complete Stranger
This older lady inhabits one of the remote hamlets in Romanian hills. She is watching other two gentlemen who clean the horse hoofs. All of them spoke only Romanian, so we did not manage to have a chat.

I was lacking behind recently, but it was due to some travelling and hiking in Romania. Here are two pictures captured there.

116 - "L" Composition
We went out with the kids to fly the kites today. Not always was the wind strong enough
to keep the kites in the air, like on the picture.

115 - Night
I was about to do some small work on the yard this evening when I noticed the beautiful spider web just under the nozzle of our old water pump. The work was forgotten and I hurried for the camera. The scene behind the house in the garden was quite spooky, the dense mist and the full moon trying to break through it. Just when I took the picture below, the camera batteries gave up.

112 - Tools
I noticed this "sign" of cozy pub along the walk in old Prague. All of them used to be tools of the chefs and cooks. Then, long, long time ago...

111 - Patterns
The harvest is over, the stubble fields are decorated with the rolls of straw. I got out to try my photographer luck with these scattered rolls and there I noticed the pattern how the grain was planted.

110 - Macro
I found many words for this bug in the dictionary - cock-chafer, maybug, maybeetle, dumbledore. Which is the right one?

108 - Photo of Choice
We went to a hills in the north of the country, to the place I haven't been in years. The mist was covering the hilltops and as we climbed uphill along the creek and its waterfalls I had often a feeling as if I was in some rain forest...

There goes the picture of my father.
And here I played with filters a little and I somewhat like the outcome.

102 - Cold
I apologize, it's so hot outside and actually everywhere that it's almost impossible to think of anything cold that could be captured as a photo. I decided to turn to my archive instead of wasting time. Here is the picture from the Baltic sea. We strolled along the beaches on 25th December last year and our kids seemed to not pay attention to biting northern wind and went for the playing with the frozen sand...

96 - Shadows
The picture is from the 30th of April, from the Beltane celebrations, though I doubt many people know today what does it mean and how ancient this festival is. Nevertheless, making big fires on the eve of the 1st May have a good tradition here, they are held in every village and town. Also in ours. Great attraction for kids, this time the main fun was to stay or run through the dense smoke spreading from the fire.

92 - Paths
The last geocaching hunt brought me to quite a wild piece of land, to the delta of little creek at the lake, actually a marshland with narrow streams and pools of water everyehwere that I had to cross over not so stable and wide "bridges".
91 - Life
I love how the nature is awakening. We were on the trip last weekend and we passed a place on a meadow where the bees and other insects were really humming above the yellow flowers. Then back at home, a short while before it started raining (that's why the sky is so dark), our flowering apple tree bathed in the last rays of sun and again the diligent little creatures were humming in the treetop.

89 - Urban
Less than fifty years ago these villages around Prague were independent isolated islands and the "city" was far, far away. But the city has been hungry and it wanted new grounds for new apartments for more and more people. And so it happened - the "city" swallowed those nice small villages, they became part of the metropole, here and there surrounded by ugly block of flats like in this case.

86 - Photo Essay
Our girls borrowed inline skates. Both of them, because they got inspired by their friends from neighbourhood. The initial excitement did not last long though. Mainly Alice gave up after the tarmac hit her behind a couple of times. Klara was little more determined, but eventually both swapped the inlines for their bicycles. As Germans say - Sicher ist sicher....

84 - Groups
We had an "Earth Day" celebration, or gathering, today on nearby hill, the pilgrim place. Number of people from the villages and towns from the closest region. The children from kinderartens and schools have prepared some performance. I hoped for some great opportunities for groups topic, but it was eventually not so easy to achieve it. Here are my attempts.
First, the pupils are preparing to rush on stage and to start their performance.
Second, the spectators, in big number the families and friends of those who perform.

This cock was really evil, sharp as a razor. I was afraid to go near him, not speaking about my daughters. He was this proud when he chased away another competitor on the yard.

82 - Architecture
A part of the modern city hall in the district of Prague where I work. I like both its architecture and also the fact that it already has a public nickname "Laskonka", which perhaps cannot be translated but it is a sort of local favorite cookie and the building resembles it to some extent.
81 - New
Klara had a birthday yesterday. And we promised she would get a new bicycle. She had to try it out right on the parking lot. Brand new. Not a single speck of dust...

79 - White on White
It's getting warmer and the trees are beginning to show the first blossoms. And I thought, white petals against white sky - why not to make it a topic?
