Hi there,
This blog has been created with spark of energy and inspiration in 2014. Mostly as the notebook of thoughts, discoveries about life and expression of deeper self..
Somewhere along the way, intuitive writing, photography and painting became an interesting mix of looking at life..
Enjoy reading this blog through the lens of my camera, the touch of artistic self and storytelling on canvas.
With regards,
Swav
Thank you for the likes of my about page… I might have to update my profile, and add the writer position as well 😉

Hey there Newbie Spikey! Thank you… I really appreciate that as I for one, know how many interesting and entertaining blogs are out there.
Blogging since June 2013, my aim is to deliver an eclectic offering of posts, from my ‘point n shoot’ attempts at basic photography, to the sharing of my travel adventures over the decades, as well as day to day happenings here on the farm. Oh, plus a few observations, opinions and lighter-hearted stuff thrown in for good measure…..
Thanks again and hope you have a great day,

Thanks Uncle Spike, Now I have much better image of the Spike name in mind… the previous one is connected to Notting Hill movie with Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant from 1999… A year later from that date, I went for a trip of a lifetime ending up in Ireland somehow. I still remember my first conversation with farmers in McKeever’s Pub near Slane…

Hi Swav,
I was trying to trace this award and realized that it might have been initiated by a blogger whose blog is written in Spanish. I could trace upto some blogs but then it was becoming difficult to understand beyond a point. Here is the last blog I could reach: http://ricciardig.wordpress.com/2014/09/20/premio-dardos/
Let me know if you were able to work beyond this and reach to the creator 🙂
