Exhibition

By Petra Pavlátková 2012-02-28 2016-12-16  castle, exhibition, Leonardo da Vinci, Templars, Zbiroh

A few weeks ago I noticed an article in the back of a company bulletin promoting an exhibition called “Leonardo da Vinci’s Face – Story of the Order of the Knights Templar”. It caught my attention, so I copied the article and intended to find out more pieces of information. …

By Petra Pavlátková 2011-12-31 2016-11-20  frosty, in the village, PF

Well, another year’s coming, something new starts so let’s use it to our advantage and make the best of it. There is always something new to be discovered, something old to be improved, something interesting to be followed. I wish you to be healthy, satisfied and open-minded.

Have you ever heard a smell?

By Petra Pavlátková 2011-12-11 2016-12-11  flowers, Patricia Lynne Duffy, quotes, synesthesia

A few weeks ago I coincidentally came around two interesting articles dealing with a phenomenon I’ve never heard about and which I find really interesting. Synesthesia. Does it ring a bell with you? We all have 5 senses and they operate independently of one another. But there are people whose …

Autumnal colours

By Petra Pavlátková 2011-11-13 2016-11-20  autumn, Kozel

What makes autumn so interesting to me are its colours and atmosphere. Fog and sunny rays are not afraid of one another and they share many autumn days. Light is softly changed in this period and colours are deeper, haze on the horizon makes the scenery somewhat sentimental. And even …

Pink variations

By Petra Pavlátková 2011-10-20 2017-01-29  flowers, hydrangea, insects

I will never grow tired of taking photographs of flowers as they are so beautiful. These were taken in August in my mother-in-law’s garden. Echinacea visited by a bumblebee with its wonderful pollen coat… Hibiscus bathed in sun’s rays… And finally Hydrangea, one of my favourite flowers…

Doors

By Petra Pavlátková 2011-05-13 2016-12-10  door, Hora Matky Boží Králíky, Náchod, Nové Město nad Metují, Police nad Metují

When you are entering a building with a beautiful, prominent or impressive entrance door, you may find yourself full of expectations what will be shown to you behind that door. What marvels of architecture or refined taste you will see. Well, the door may or may not hide anything special …

At the eleventh hour

By Petra Pavlátková 2011-05-04 2016-12-10  animals, door, phrases, Příbram

Some time ago I read in English “The Woman in White” by Wilkie Collins and really liked the story and its characters. I met there – for the first time – an English phrase “at the eleventh hour” and understood from the context that it meant “at the last moment”. I …

Spring in terms of flowers

By Petra Pavlátková 2011-04-27 2016-12-10  flowers, our garden, spring

It’s beautiful to come out of the house right into the garden and to see the nature so close… I grew up in a city, in a block of flats with garages in the backyard and a busy main street in front of the house. Moreover, both grandmothers lived in …

Spring has finally come…

By Petra Pavlátková 2011-04-14 2016-12-10  flowers, our garden, spring

… although winter hasn’t given up yet. April is known for its uncertain weather here and so we had 25°C a few days ago as well as just 5°C today. I am quite happy that we were able to do quite a lot of work in our garden during those …
