It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept and celebrate those differences.

Café La Putika
When my husband and I stayed for a few months in Bratislava, we used to hang out at this small, cosy café called “La Putika”. We really loved it.
La Putika café is located in the old town of Bratislava.
It has a simple layout with pleasant warm atmosphere, nice vintage decoration and wooden floor. The rooms are lit with a number of small lamps which makes it darker but also warm and intimate.
With it’s charming ambiance, great coffee and reasonable prices, La Putika it’s the place to be! We were so comfortable there, it really felt we were at home.

Bird of paradise flower
Last week one of them bloomed in my parents’ garden. I decided to take some photos – reluctantly. The reason is that I tried last year to photograph the flower and I didn’t like the pictures. Maybe I wanted something different… But I think now I found what I was looking for. Close up shots, different angles and more creativity! I was satisfied with the result!
Some information about the Bird of Paradise flower
The bird of paradise is one of the most beautiful exotic flowers, native to South Africa. They bloom from September through May.
A common name of the genus Strelitzia, is bird of paradise flower/plant, because of a resemblance of its flowers to birds of paradise. The genus is named after the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, birthplace of Queen Charlotte of the United Kingdom.
In South Africa it is commonly known as a crane flower and is featured on the reverse of the 50 cent coin. It is also the floral emblem of the City of Los Angeles. (source: Wikipedia)

Water is precious
Water is the driver of Nature.
-Leonardo da Vinci
Water is a precious resource which we ought to use wisely. Most of the time we take water for granted.
Water is a big necessity of every one of us. Plants, animals and humans can’t live without it.
It is only during summer season we can understand the value of it, when we have to face it’s shortage.

A close up look
This rock was my subject. Not that interesting? If you go closer you may reconsider.
When I was shooting that rock people were looking at me a little weird. It was located in front of the shopping mall Central in Bratislava, so you can imagine that there were a lot of people passing through. At one point, a man approached me and tried to see what I was shooting at with so much interest and passion. After a moment of concentration and study he told me that it looked like a meteorite.
Close up photography is very fascinating and creative. By moving in closer you see the subject from a different perspective. The subject is isolated, the background is out of focus, new details appear and the result is magical and unique.
Capturing a close up shot from the plants on the rock above was a great and rewarding result.

Autumn photography
Autumn is here!
The turning of the season is always a great opportunity to capture the change of the surroundings.
Autumn marks the transition from summer to winter. One of its main features is the shedding of leaves from deciduous trees and plants. The leaves are changing colors and become yellow, orange, red and brown.
Red, yellow, orange and brown leaves are blending all together and create a colorful veil, which is embracing the earth and transforms the surroundings into a spectacular view.

Let’s play a game
“Find the word”
All you have to do is find the word that connects the pictures – a common word!
Did you find it? What is the word?
Pairs! That’s correct.
This is nothing more than a long-term project of mine in photography. I set a goal to find and shoot anything in pairs and make an archive. It is not easy finding objects that are in a pair, so I always keep that in mind whenever I go out with my camera.
