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!

yesterday).

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?

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 :)

And now, I shall advance to bed.

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.

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=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 9th 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.
