Lithops hallii 🌱🌵🌱
Originally, these were some tiny plants I bought from an online garden shop, without knowing much about their needs and their botanical name. The only thing I knew was that these are very slow growing succulents that look like little stones. Their name comes from the Ancient Greek for “stone face” (λίθος – lithos, meaning “stone,” and ὄψ – ops, meaning “face”) as one may … Continue reading Lithops hallii 🌱🌵🌱
Seascape Sunsets 🌊🌞🌆
One of my favorite photographic subjects is nature, in all its possible expressions, even if the most extraordinary natural spectacle is undoubtedly a sunset, with its fleeting explosion of colours. The reflections of the sun on the water make every end of the day even more exciting, with combinations of contrasting nuances and compositions of shapes and shadows. What I find particularly attractive in my … Continue reading Seascape Sunsets 🌊🌞🌆
Landscape photography 🌅🌊🏙
One of my favourite subjects for photography is nature, in all its possible expressions, and landscapes feature highly amongst my preferred sources of inspiration. Constrained most of the times by urban skylines I then like framing very open spaces with contrasting colours, where nature prevails. There is something magical about capturing a landscape and crystallising a distinct moment in the ever changing process of natural … Continue reading Landscape photography 🌅🌊🏙
Haworthia cymbiformis 🌱🌵🇵🇹
Minha paixão recente por suculentas está me levando a desenvolver uma pequena coleção de plantas, que espero sobreviver às minhas ausências prolongadas e possam me animar a cada dia enquanto admiro o quão rápido elas crescem durante a boa estação. De um espécime que comprei há apenas alguns meses, já fui capaz de propagar algumas rosetas e plantá-las em meu pequeno viveiro. Estes parecem já … Continue reading Haworthia cymbiformis 🌱🌵🇵🇹
Gasteria carinata variegata 🌱🌵🌱
I bought this plant almost a year ago from a nursery so I can assume by now it has adapted to the new environment where it has been placed. It is the first plant in my collection of this genus of succulents, a Gasteria. This group of plants is characterised by long tongue-shaped thick leaves that store a lot of water to be used during … Continue reading Gasteria carinata variegata 🌱🌵🌱
Trengwainton Garden 🌳🌺🏴
Yesterday was one of these typical serendipity situations when you end up in a place without knowing the real reason why you are there and immediately realise you absolutely love it. I just wanted to share with you some of the images of this enchanted and solitary place in West Cornwall that made my day. Nature photography Continue reading Trengwainton Garden 🌳🌺🏴

Haworthia retusa 🌵🌱🌵
I bought this cute little specimen at a succulent fair a couple of years ago and by now it has adapted to the new environment of my flat. It seems it is doing pretty well as many new stems are coming out from its base and next spring I will have to separate the new plants and repot it. For sure the climate in my … Continue reading Haworthia retusa 🌵🌱🌵
