365 Snaps (2) - Wow, it's been a while!

Monday, December 16, 2013.

Hey Everyone!

So. Ya'll are being really mysterious. Really! You're sorta driving me nuts. Every time I log on to my blog it say 'oh, yeah! You have readers, sure! In the USA, In Germany, in eastern Europe, Even in Israel!' and it shows me a map. But you girls (and/or guys – I'm just tiered of assuming everything is male until you find out it isn't, and decided to do it the other way around) Don't give any comments or reviews! I don't mind, I just really hope you enjoy reading this, and that you actually read it. Yeah.

So anyway, today I was really tiered and didn't even have time to take a decent picture, but I wanted to show you my new hat! It's actually a hat with a scarf combined, and it's super cute and I love it. And the background is my pillow, where I really want to be right now.

Hat-Scarf! <3

I hope you all had a good start of the week! Good night!

Helllllllllllllo!

So, again this is right before bed, and I don't have much time. But I had a really good and interesting day today – though not easy – and I photographed 2 of my favorite quotes for you to enjoy!

In case it's hard to read them in the pic: 

Words to live by

1 – "I really figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it" (Rita Mae Brown).

2 – "One should always be a little improbable" (Oscar Wilde).

Good night!

Hi,

I'm really really not feeling well today. I'm cold and shivering and really dizzy, and I don't even know why.

I tried to capture my dizziness and horrible mood, and I think it probably worked. I hope I'll think it's a nice/ good picture when I feel better.

Bye,

Heeeey Everyone,

I'm feeling a whole lot better today. I hope I didn't worry you or anything.

My mom made this soup for me yesterday night, because I'm not feeling really great and it's cold too, so soup is really THE THING.

It's really good. It's got potatoes and noodles and carrots and onions and 2 kinds of mushrooms in it. Have I mentioned I really like this soup?

Anyway, it's really photogenic, so here you girls go.

Do you like soup? What kind of soup do you like? I just love any kind of soup, really. Especially when it's cold :)

Have a good day everyone!

Hey Darlings!

It's Friday again, and as you all know, everything gets instantly better when it's Friday. And for today's picture….. PARCHISI! We played this afternoon, and it was really fun :)

I also really love this game because its design is so pretty and colorful and that is why you're all getting a pic:

And a bonus pic:

Yaaaaay!

Have a great weekend!

Hi :)

So this is something that a friend of mine drew. It's hung on the wall in my room, and it totally summarizes the feeling of Saturday night when you have school the next morning.

And with that – good night!

Hi everyone!

So, I just came back from the first meeting of a WRITING WORKSHOP that I'm getting at school, and it was really fun and exciting :) We we're talking about words we like, so I took a picture of a word I really like

This word is tots adorbs!

Heeeeeeeeey my darlings!

I'm in a really happy mood right now. Like, silly happy. I just got back from buying a b-day present for my sis, who's gonna be a sweeeeet 16 tomorrow, with my other younger sis! :) And we bought some perfect stuff and she will LOVE IT! I hope.

Anyway, that was a great excuse for some night photography, so this first pic is just a macro of a flower in the eco-pond near city hall. It's a gorgeous thing, that eco-pond, which is good 'cause the city hall is awfully ugly.

Nice

And you girls (and guys) are getting a bonus pic by my beloved sis! This is the fountain by Yaakov Agam at Dizengof square, which I love. And as you can see, it's especially gorgeous at night :)

I love this place

So, to all my Christian readers – Merry Christmas!!! And to all who are not Christian (I'm not) – Have a great night and a great day tomorrow!

Hey Ya'll!

It's my sister's sweet 16!!!

So I went out at 06:30 am to buy her a breakfast chocolate croissant, and took this gorgeous thing waiting for the light to change on the boulevard, on the way back :)

Again, to all who celebrate – Merry Christmas!!! And to all who don't – Have a great day!

Hey people :)

So today, on my way to school, I saw a whole pine tree lying on the sidewalk. Someone decided to cut it down and I thought it was pretty sad. Anyway, I was in a hurry for class, but I broke off one of the branches and took it with me. I smelled amazing and it was pretty. I don't know, there was something special to it.

Hello darlings!

Friday afternoon. It's cold outside but warm in here. And I'm too lazy to do anything serious, so here's a picture of my feet in slipper-socks. 

Nice & warm :)

Have a great weekend!

Heeeeeeeey,

It's a beautiful (cold) and sunny Saturday, and I found this growing in my mom's flowerpot out on the porch. It's not a flower, but it's gorgeous :)

Ceci n'est pas une fleur

Hoi!

(That's 'hi' in Dutch).

So today was Sunday, and you wouldn't like Sundays either if you'd start them with being in class at 07:30 am. And today I had an exam, which is all the worse. UGH.

But hey, it get's better! We're playing cards :)

Oh look, I won! Gin Rummy!

It's raining!!!

I love it when it rains. I love it so much, I don't even mind getting home soaked because I was dressed really lightly and just had to take a loooooong walk to take pictures of everything that's pretty in the rain.

When it Rain, Rain, Rains.... <3

Hey Ya'll

Sometimes, after a bad day, what you need is a bowl of soup,

So here you go.

Hey Lovelies,

D'you know that feeling, when you feel like you're on the run all the time, and never have enough time?

So today's just been one of those days.

Yes, this is a marker. On the wall. In my room.

Life is like a baseball game: You run and you run and you feel extremely accomplished when finally you're SAFE.

So a friend of mine is here for the weekend...

We sat around in the kitchen...

And I found this cool seed today and started playing around with it and my sisters glove and the macro just happened :P LOL!

Love,

Hi!

So my friend E, who's here for the weekend, made this amazing chocolate soufflé (I just did minor things, messed stuff up and 'entertained the cook' – I'm more of an eater myself) and I thought, BA BAM, snap of the day. I promise you, it's even tastier than it looks! And it even has vanilla IceCream on the side :)

NOM NOM NOM

Loooooooooooooooove!

Hello lovely readers of earth and beyond!

I am so energized right now you will not believe it! I stopped at a paper goods store and bought a new notebook. And when I have a new, gorgeous notebook, my life gets instantly better :)

I haven't even opened the wrapping yet – It's so gorgeous I don't want to ruin it. So today's shot of the day will be called 'notebook 1', and keep an eye out for no. 2!
The place is called Papier, BTW :) https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.615734681800203.1073741827.123949880978688&type=3

Hey!

So this is just a quick pic…

The photograph in the pic was taken by my friend, and it's from the port right here in Tel Aviv. The quote on the wall is from this song :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO3Gb5mkwTc

I'm so exhausted…

Good night!

Hellooooo girls and guys :)

I did a little experiment with light, basically took pics of street lights in the rain to see how the light looks.

So this is a picture from today – Not rainy.

And this is a picture from December 30^th – rainy, and I think a bit cooler.

What do you all think?? Comment and tell me!

My new and awesome photography project! SNAP 365 (1).

Tuesday, December 10, 2013.

Hello Ladies and Gents!

So yeah, I've been super super busy lately and just did not have time to even go on my blog, let alone post things. I do have a longer post waiting to be edited and posted; hopefully it'll get to you soon. Anyway, as a way to re-activate my creativity, I've decided to take up the 365 snaps project. I can't promise you'll actually see a picture everyday – it might be once a week or two, or it might change, because my life is hectic and I'm not too good with time – But I will have a photo for every day. I really like the idea of doing something small everyday which makes something really big and impressive later on.

So, it was actually pretty cold here in Tel Aviv, Israel today – as far as this place goes, that is. It was about 14-16 degrees Celsius, which is about 57-61 Fahrenheit. I'm not a winter person, so for me, that's cold.

I've been toying around with macro photography lately, and I found that my new scarf and my watch on a chain are really great subjects.

And I know you're only supposed to give one picture a day, but hey – rules we're meant to be broken, or that's what I'm told. So here's a bonus picture, just 'cause I think it looks really pretty and cozy from up close.

I'm really tiered now, and I gotta get up early.

So have a good night and send me a sign of life!

Nova.

Hey everyone :)

So today's one of those winter sick days. I felt really horrible in the morning, but I'm feeling a touch better now, courtesy of 2 extra hours of sleep and half a dozen cups of jasmine tea. Anyway, I decided to take another macro photo for today's snap, since everything is more interesting when you explore it from up close. I took a few pictures today, but I think this is my favorite one.

I went downstairs for a few minutes and the rain stopped and the sun was out and this picture was just begging to be taken. Who am I to refuse?

A gorgeous red hibiscus, post rain :)

I hope you all had a great day and if you’re a bit sick, like me – feel better!

Hello!

So I'm now in a total tiered hyper. And today was so tiring and depressing, and cold and I had lots of energy for a while and then I didn't. I don't know why, it was actually a pretty good day. I guess I'm just really exhausted. Well, I decided to photograph something gray to go with today's weather, and I'm really into macro lately, so I found this gorgeous gray salt in the kitchen, and went waaaaaay close on it. And it came out gorgeous. Here ya'll go :) 

Le sel gris

And now, I shall advance to bed. (Dramatic royal-British accent).

Bon Noi!

KABUM KABUM KABUM!

Happy days are here again. Yesterday's depression went away. Why? Sleep, lit class and rain. I love rain, and I love it even more when I'm inside and not cold, which is the situation now. And lit class is really one of my favorites because I love reading and my teacher is the best ever. Yay.

It hailed today! So this picture is just hail on cars from my window. It was prettier in real life, I swear. I need a better camera.

Hail in TLV

That's it. I promise a better pic tomorrow, on Saturday.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi everyone :)

So today was a really lazy day – It was super cold, like 6 degrees Celsius – about 43 in Fahrenheit – So I had breakfast with my family, which is a Saturday tradition, and then basically spent the day in my bed, and on the couch, with a blanket and the heater. A friend of mine came over, and we sat and talked and giggled – in my bed, under the blanket. Because it was just too cold otherwise and blankets are amazingly cozy. Hence, today's picture is the most photogenic creature in the house – my cat – and the blankets on the couch.

If I get a next life or something like that, I wanna be a cat. It's the best! He eats, sleeps, and, ummm…. Sleeps some more. In the coziest places, with everyones blankets and no one would dare move him.

On the downside, at least to human noses, his food smells pretty gross.

So, have a nice, warm weekend everyone! Stay dry!

- ♥ -

Nova.

Hey ya'll

So today was exhausting, again. Well, Sundays. I don't know how it is where you live, 'cause IDK where you live or if you're even reading this, but here in Israel, Sunday is a normal work/school day. My weekend, personally, goes from Friday afternoon to Saturday night. Yep, a bit sad. And I had a math exam today. Horrible.

Anyway, I decided to shoot something pretty (with my camera, not a gun!) in order to show you – and myself – that not everything is bad. The crane was made by my amazing friend and origami girl, NT. We're in the same class, and this is what she does when it's too boring. I think it's awesome, and I actually collect them when she gives them to me – I have about 20 of them sitting on my shelve :) The book is 'The Time Regulation Institute' by Ahmet Hamdi Tanpinar (I have it in Hebrew, it's just been translated this year – I had to Google it to know the name in English). I bought it this summer, and hadn't had time to even open it. But the cover is just GORGEOUS, and I'm dying to read it – it's the next book I'll open, once I finally have time to finish Anna Karenina (my current read).

I love this picture. So colorful! So joyful! And the book's cover is so beautiful.

And, as a treat, today's piece has music!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2oIhJG7rXA – I ran into this one today and I love it. Missy Elliot rocks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmYfGcQOkmg – And now to something completely different. This is the first jack white I've ever heard (even though it's a cover). It was back in 9^th grade, and after a white night with friends, and I loved it. Still do.

Au revoir, mes amis! Tomorrow we start anew!

PS - remember how on Day 1 I said I didn't have time to post? I didn't have time to post until NOW. 6 days. impressive, huh? LOL.
