Showcase Sunday: A Song, A Flower And A Botanical Garden In The Middle!

Exactly one year ago! A year ago I was in the middle of my exile in Iasi, in northern Romania. It wasn't really an exile ... it was a very beautiful part of my life. When you look back you realize that you didn't realize how good it was at that time in your life.

No worries or rather, with very few worries, away from home activities and in a very beautiful and welcoming city. If I compare with what I suffered this year, I can only say: "O tempora o mores!" that is, "Oh, the times!" in the language of our Latin ancestors.

I recently discovered an old (so I understood) @nonameslefttouse initiative called #showcasesunday. The goal is to revive old posts! I instantly appreciated the value and quality of this proposal. The benefits are many: a re-evaluation of some posts, often ignored. A self-assessment of how the experience gained over a period of time is reflected in the quality of our new posts. A nostalgic look into the past ...

I decided to resume a year-old blog every Sunday. I am very curious if these old posts can still be current and arouse curiosity. I read some such posts and I really liked them.

Some findings on how I wrote a blog a year ago. Important to see if there are differences from how I write now.

The first impression is that I haven't changed much. The same blog skeleton ... photos that support a story, a kind of reportage of a Sunday spent outdoors. A song that fits somewhat with the subject. A flower at the end of the blog, just before @dswigle fixed this in her appealing challenge and community called @alwaysaflower.

I find that I have used too many successive photos and this can be tiring for the viewer. Now I don't put more than three photos without putting a text between them and in the future I will even try to put only one.

This Sunday I want to remember and propose: A Song, A Flower And A Botanical Garden In The Middle! from Jun 23, 2019.
