5 Flickr streams that deserve more followers in 2018
The last week of the year is always good for lists. Lists with best this, funniest that, coolest whatnot etc. Though I like reading those lists I am not a fan of creating them myself. My experience with ‘fav-lists’ is that mostly they consist of stuff I already know or follow and in worst case…
31 days, 31 drawings – INKtober 2017
Followers of my Flickr stream have seen my real life drawings in October, as I participated in the annual INKTober challenge. And it was more fun than I thought it would be when I started! No, I am not a great artist in real life, but I do love to draw and paint. Sadly the…
[Paper Crown] – The end of my reign
On 23rd July, Huckleberry Hax passed the Paper Crown on to me and to be honest I was not sure if I would be able to do the Crown justice. Specially after seeing pics of previous Kings and Queens and Huck’s way in particular – he wrote a poem, a story, that made me want…
Paper Crown Queen
Last night King Huckleberry Hax, who has reigned the past month as Paper Crown King, passed on the crown to me. OMG. I am a Queen now! The ceremony of the Passing of the Paper Crown was in a small setting, rather intimate and sweet. Well, OK. Huck showed up with music, wearing a (fullbright,…
Reciprocal
Reciprocal, one of those words I cannot pronounce out loud without breaking my tongue. Admitting the Dutch word for it (wederkerig) is so old-fashioned, I doubt anyone born before 1960 knows what it means! Why this pondering over a word I cannot pronounce properly and which is so out of date in my native language?…
Show your Halloween Spirit
Yes. A post about Halloween. By me. Shocking eh? Since I am probably one of the very few in Second Life who does not particularly like or even care about Halloween much. Anyway! Linden Lab announced in a blogpost by Xiola Linden, a call for photos depicting your Halloween Spirit. They will choose some of…
When life gives you pears!
Over the past years I started some groups on Flickr – with themes. Just for fun, so people could add their photo’s that fitted in the same theme and so create some wonderful collections for all to enjoy. While it was fun at first, it became a burden – specially the past 2 years. Oh,…
Pile-ups for playing around!
My hiatus is over. I have taken a month off from blogging, on purpose – but didn’t announce it as such. Every now and then I need some time without thinking about my blog, what to write and what pics to take. It was good, and yeah I missed blogging at some moments, but also:…
Ladies who lun….errr….drink wine!
Last night my friends and I finally got together for an evening of chatting again! Instead of going out for some exploring or sportive activity as we had done the previous time, I invited Kerena, Becky, Ylva and Kahleesi over to my humble home for some wine and snacks. Sometimes that is all you need,…
