A Little Bit Of Everything

Over the years, my photography has taken me in many different directions. I’ve chose five images that are special to me for very different reasons, some because of the moment, some because of the memories, and some simply because I still like them.

A Splash of Colour
A photo taken in Malta in 2013. Perhaps it’s the bold colours, the contrast between the hard-painted surface and the soft blue sea, or simply the feeling it gives me. I’m not quite sure why, but this image has stayed with me through the years.

A walk By the Sea
One of my very first, taken in 2011 when I was living in Malta. I walked the Tower Road seafront promenade countless times, taking so many photos along the way. I can’t explain why, but this one has always felt special to me. I’m simply glad it’s still with me.

A Very Close Encounter
This dragonfly landed on my finger and stayed there long enough for me to take a few pictures.
Not something that happens every day!

A Familiar Place
For many years, Tony’s Bar in Sliema, Malta, was a favourite place to sit and watch the world go by.
It wasn’t always the people that caught my eye — it could also be a beautifully worn old car.

Forever in My Heart
Fanny was my first dog ever, and a long-awaited one at that. She came into our family in 2017.
Sadly, we lost her a little over two years ago, but this photo has become one of those special memories I treasure.
🐾📸🐾📸🐾📸🐾
Looking back through my old photos, I noticed how my way of seeing has changed over the years, and how my choice of subjects has changed with it. Today I’m drawn mostly to nature, perhaps influenced by life with my dogs and the place I now call home.

    Dogs are amazing companions. Your gallery is impeccably beautiful in every aspect. How lucky you were to get a dragonfly land on your finger!

      Thank you, Egídio! It was quite an unforgettable encounter — this actually happened back in 2023. I’ve just added a link to the original post with more photos from that special moment.

    Beautiful photo gallery, but the dragonfly one is number 1 🪰🥇. I don’t even know how you managed to get such a good macro shot with just one hand.🖐️

    1. Anita Avatar

      Thank you, Aura! 😊 I was surprised myself that those shots turned out so well. I had the camera in one hand and the dragonfly on the other, so I couldn’t adjust the focus manually or do much about the framing. I just had to trust the camera to do its job! 😁📸 I’ve also added a link in the post to the original story from 2023, with more photos from that rather unusual moment.

    Excellent Anita. I’ve looked through lots of posts this week and it was nice to finish up with your lovely blog. The dragonfly is amazing but I also like your splash of colour shot. What a brilliant spot. Most people would have missed that brilliant photo opportunity 🙂

      Thank you, Steve! 😊 I’m so glad you enjoyed the post, and I really appreciate your kind words. Choosing five images wasn’t easy, but I had great fun going through my archive for this challenge. It made me look at some old favourites in a different way.

    I love your photography Anita and these 5 are great. You always bring colour and warmth to your images and I guess that’s a reflection of where you live and have lived.

      Thank you so much, Brian! That really means a lot to me. I think you’re right — the places I’ve lived have definitely influenced the way I see and photograph the world.

      Tusen tack snälla Anki! Ja, Fanny, för alltid i mitt hjärta. Jag är så tacksam över att ha hennes dotter Felicia hos mig. Tänk att hon fyller 6 år i september, tiden går alldeles för fort! Stor kram!❣
