Hat on hooks.
Photographs
I’m sure that there will be more of these, but a couple of photos of the Lisbon, Micro.blog Meetup with @jean, @maique, @Portufraise & @helgeg (& friends from the conference Jean was attending). A wonderful afternoon, and lovely to meet more of the Micro.blog family.
Cais Palafítico da Carrasqueira - a place of old fishing piers and huts, near Comporta and the Atlantic coast, Portugal.
Wonky window on a ruined building.
A beach scene from Easter Sunday.
Moon rise in the house last night.
Evening light.
I found this rather large fly down at the coast yesterday.
I’ve heard of a Christmas tree, but never an Easter tree.

Rows of Parmesan cheese mirror each other as they wait their turn to be cleaned - each cheese is picked out, polished, put back, and then the machine moves onto the next one. Scandiano, Italy.

A display of Ukuleles in the store front of Porto Guitarra in Porto, Portugal.

Day 24: Court, suggested by @rom
I want to say that I didn’t get to the court today because I was sick. However, while the latter is true, I actually never get to the court. 😔

Day 23: Chance, suggested by @V_
You take a chance walking under a Kiawe tree that’s growing on a beach in Maui. A Kiawe’s branches have nasty thorns on them. Those branches can break off and lie buried in the sand, waiting for unsuspecting bare feet.

Early this morning.
It’s a shame that there isn’t a March 2023 Photoblogging Challenge prompt along the lines of hanging around, or feet first.
I have a photo for them.

Day 13: Connection, suggested by @agilelisa
Since my first visit to the Himalayas in 1989, I have felt a connection to Tibet and its people. This photo, of a projected slide, is of me on the roof of the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet, in the 1990s.
