captured moments + smily rain

[via]

hello again : )

am coming here with a big smile cause I read the comments on the {previous} post

just a little while ago... thank you so much.

it's everything but a typical thank you...

I feel that you connected with me

&

to say the truth, I have momentarily not a very reasonable explanation

for the happiness that it brings me...

 still since it does so,

I only wish you to know that it does : )

so this post was originally prepared in order to share with you

{the collage} put together by me yesterday,

combining some of {my favorites pictures} from friends & contacts on flickr.

there seem to be some people to whose work I'm constantly drown,

not only for the visually delightful images,

 but also & mostly

cause of the moments that are captured

&

 the personalities of the people themselves

as they are expressed through their on line presence...

 there is nothing that attracts me more

than  looking at an image I can loose myself into...

 such images, I tend to believe, are always images

which capture reality as it is,

feelings, moments, passions,

and are not made per se,

or else in purpose,

rather

they are the outcome

of being tuned to our inner selves

and our realities around us.

 from top to bottom & left to right,

enjoy the fabulous work of:

~ Cindy Taylor

~ Krista

~ Doreen 

~ Theresa and

~ Cindy 

when you have some time to spare or maybe nicely invest,

you can take a virtual visit in their photography streams,

portofolios, websites and/or even some of their shops.

All you need to do to access the links is to visit

the {profile} information of each respective person

much like to my own linked here as an exaple

on another notice,

as I took a refreshing evening walk in {Verna Park} a while ago

and just before we had dinner,

 all that came to mind is that

 this rainy season to be approaching

 is going to give me the chance

 to wear my favorite

pair of grey rubber boots, with silver details 

{promise to make a close up picture, they are really brilliant!}

bought during our Christmas trip / vacation in Rome

this past Christmas,

for the only reason that it was raining so heavily

and I had only brought leather boots!

was happy to find them reduced to half the price, too...

so here is me during one of our walks in magical Rome,

posing in front of my favorite object to photograph:

doors!

please do not take me wrong

when reading the label of the pictures

"Travelling & fashion stories with Ivy"

I do not consider myself any fashion icon,

it's just that I take a lot of pleasure in dressing myself

and combining my wardrobe's clothes

and usually like to be photographed when in outfits

which were put together easily

& made me feel very comfortable 

in them

am temporarily leaving you with this 

picture which is named:

"Smily rain"

and am actually 

promising & planning to post pictures from {this trip}

as there are tones of beautiful ones,

which were never shared!

hope your Fridays have been really lovely!

will come in a short while, 

posting about a part of our day yesterday

worth of mentioning ~
