un piccolo piccolo geco su un lampione a Magliano.............. vorrà provare ad abbronzarsi o semplicemente si vuole scaldare ?????..............................................mi sa che da gran birbante qual è sa che vicino alla luce arriva la sua cena !!!!!!!

My first water droplet shot in quite some time. I had planned on posting this tomorrow but I've decided that I'm going to take a little time off from Flickr. I feel like I'm stuck in a rut and need to find some inspiration somewhere. Where is everybody, anyway? Hello? Anybody out there?

Anywho.......I hope you all have a beautiful weekend and an even better week ahead.

Thanks to sweet SaSH for every pink inspiration and kind support as well :)

"Mom, if you only knew that I would rather be riding my bike instead of taking these photos. And if you only knew that I would much rather be playing with my friends or with my video games right now." .......And if he only knew that I take these photos because I am painfully aware that every day that goes by is one less day I will have him this close. Close enough to take care of him when he gets hurt, hug him even when he pulls away, tell him I love him face to face, and be witness to his amazing laugh that warms my heart every time I hear it. If you only knew....
