~ some days in Malta...

 it is in difficult times that one understands what matters, right?

  this is a tiny post to welcome you all in the new week, despite having caught a cold so nasty as it hasn't been  in a very long, long time & reveal the reason there were no posts or news updates during the past few days.

him & I spent a few days on the island of Malta, a destination we have grown to very much like since our first visit there last winter.

you can imagine that spending time working on our pictures & talking for hours here about our trip

is something I so wish I could do at the moment,

but anything than a short period in front of the screen tires me

 due to fever.

I still wanted to pass by here and say hello,

while sharing a few SOOC (straight out of the camera) pictures - except from slight cropping & a little processing in the last two,

 my partner made of me,

as we both enjoy our roles behind & in front of the cameras... 

 our days were spent strolling in the charming streets of Valletta, the capital of the country,

driving - on the left side! - along the coast line,

promenading along the sea in Sliema, where we were accommodated,

photographing doors, details, me posing in front of doors...

eating delicious food,

such as mouthwatering pastizzis,

which cost between 30 & 50 cents per piece, no matter where you are

... visiting the beautiful cities of Mdina & Rabat,

taking a ferry to the amazing tiny island of Gozo

and not to forget, among others, me catching a cold,

(thank God only on Saturday, just a day before our return)

to bring as a souvenir,

together with memories of good times

&

pictures of undeniably charming places.

oh well my dears...

I hope to be well soon, being able to enjoy my work & posting here

from me, best of wishes for one more wonderful, creative week,

bringing you just a little bit closer to all you love!
