Sabine in Gozo

While my guitar gently weeps…

For starters, here’s the beautiful song whose title I used for this post, to set the mood:

Yesterday my son spent a few hours at home with his Ibanez guitar, a very photogenic piece, which I happily hijacked with my camera. (All shots taken with extension tube, hence the extremely shallow DOF.)

OK, I promise, this is the last one for today! Wish y’all a happy Sunday!

Strawberry fields forever…

I’m taking Sopadeine Plus for my headache, which makes me kinda high… Maybe that’s where all the lyrics in my head are coming from?

As I said, I was relaxing this weekend, but also took a ton of photos (which, by the way, helps me relax!). Hubby was in Malta yesterday and brought home two huge tubs of strawberries. They’re my favourite fruits – have always been my favourites, for as long as I can remember!

Yet another post is coming up – and after that, I guess, I’ll leave you in peace for at least a week!!

See the clouds they’re giving life below…

Note: Title is borrowed from lyrics of “Clouds” by Bread – it just seemed fitting.

Yesterday and Friday were rather cloudy, not in the sense of a thick grey mass (such as today’s!), but the more dramatic kind, which I’m so fond of!

I spent most of Saturday indoors, trying to relax and force my stupid headache into submission (which seems mission impossible and starts worrying me, by the way!). In the afternoon I noticed we’d be running out of cat food by today, so I had to go out to get it from Victoria. Though I grumbled a little, I made the best of it… I took my camera with me and drove around a little in search for suitable subjects to match the beautiful celestial background!

This is the pretty church of Santa Lucija, just a kilometre or so from Victoria.

From there I proceeded to Dwejra, but the views down at the Azure Window were not what I expected. From higher up it was a different story though!

From there I headed back home and discovered that sometimes you don’t really have to venture far for a nice shot: Gharb’s parish church is just a stone’s throw from our house… (the time showing on the clock is wrong – it actually was after 6 pm!)

Finally, this one I actually took on Friday, for Renzo‘s blog post on Discover Gozo. The chapel at Ta’ Hamet (between Xaghra and Xewkija) was built as a gesture of thanksgiving for Gozo’s victory over Napoleon’s forces. What, you didn’t know that part of Gozo’s glorious past yet? Then I suggest you hurry over to the blog, where the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz shows and tells a lot of interesting snippets about our island!

I’ve got more pics to show of this weekend, but they are completely different from these cloudy shots, so they merit their own post – coming soon!
