Cats, good books, AI, and religious walking in the city of Sofia

I wouldn’t have noticed this beautiful tree without the blog.


Whoever landscaped relied on flowers like their life depends on it.

I like the flowers more than the cathedral. Something with the symbolic around it doesn’t sit right with me. Perhaps it needs a couple of hundred years of service to get there. The nearby St. Sofia church looks much more authentic and comfortable. Like a place you’d visit for a holiday or an important life event or memorial.
The colours were pretty yesterday.

Today is the first true t-shirt day of the year. It’s 23° C and the city is quick to toss the jackets in the closet.

I’m not sure if I miss the snowy February from the past. Probably not.
We visited the greenhouse part of the Botanic Garden yesterday. It’s a nice distraction from the busy and gray winter Sofia and transports you to a world of flowers and fish.








Honestly, can’t imagine the effort to maintain all these flowers – they have slightly different needs, and it’s all done manually. Not sure how the staff manages to do it.
Some of the plants are for sale. We got ourselves a tiny Peperomia.
