Hive Collectors

Seeing life through rose-coloured glasses

I don’t know about you, but I generally see life through rose-coloured glasses. Mostly. I suppose one is happier finding something good in everything. At the same time, we have to be realistic (even if that sounds contradictory for those wearing the pink glasses) and focus on the things that are essential at a given moment in our lives.

...

So, it happens that it is not even the first of the month, but well, the monthly theme for the Hive Collectors community is arriving today. Let’s see life through different colours… through glasses? Yes, through...

Sunglasses!

Already in August, I had the idea to bring this item as the topic for one of the next months. I took a photo of one of my niece’s sunglasses and a bunch of my son’s sunglasses. Then those photos went to sleep until today. This morning I was in a hurry and couldn’t find my regular sunglasses, so I grabbed a new one from the cabinet that was still in its box. I bought them around a year ago, but since I had other ones, I still haven’t used them.

I was not very comfortable with them; somehow, they are too dark. Also, I like to wear the sunglasses on my head when I take them off for a moment. These were slipping off my head, so that's the second thing I didn't like about them. Oh, am I too picky, or do I not actually see life through rose-coloured glasses? 😂

In case I don't get used to the aforementioned sunglasses, I have these Hive ones. 😋

Basically, my own collection ends here. 🤐 I have old, scratched and bent ones, but I can't look for them right now. It's better I show the tiny collection my son has.

He wears the following two models. Maybe you can think he has a weird style... but wait to see the other glasses...

... For example, these orange-coloured glasses!

Or these glasses with flowers! 😆 Ok, he got these at a party, so he brought them home, not that he really wears them.

When I asked him in August to let me take a photo of his sunglasses collection for the Hive post, he found these ones in the drawers. I guess he has more, but anyway, it is much more than my own collection.

He also gave me the solar eclipse glasses he used while watching this event in August. Now I have them for the next solar eclipse, if I ever fancy witnessing it. This year it was ok to see this event through the TV screen too.

As the last sunglasses for this post, I am holding my niece's purple glasses with an interesting shape. I know it is not pink, but it is a minor detail. 😆 If you also see life through pink-coloured glasses, then you will confirm it is a nice item to close this post.

I hope you like this month's theme and have a few sunglasses to bring to the community. 😎

Good to see you are still going well here on Hive @mipiano. A stalwart for the community for sure.

Aww. The orange coloured glasses are my favourite. Love it.
@duskobgd(75)· 8d
My eyes are not overly sensitive to the sun, so I rarely use sunglasses. But still, I have a few pieces (they are accompanied by interesting stories), which will be enough for me to present the collection.

PS. The last ones are adorable🙂

Thanks for sharing your collection, @mipiano! I really like that you see life through rose-coloured glasses while still staying realistic: it's a healthy balance. The sunglasses of the whole family made me smile, especially the son's flower-patterned pair from the party and the niece's purple ones, which look like a real design piece.

I work outdoors in the countryside of the Marche, so good sunglasses are essential for me, and I know the problem of a pair that slips off or is too dark. I'm curious about the Hive-branded pair you keep as a backup: where did you get it, and is it comfortable enough to become your everyday pair?

Original message
Grazie per aver condiviso la tua collezione, @mipiano! Mi piace molto che tu veda la vita con gli occhiali rosa pur restando realista: è un equilibrio sano. Gli occhiali da sole di tutta la famiglia mi hanno fatto sorridere, soprattutto quelli a fiori di tuo figlio della festa e quelli viola di tua nipote, che sembrano un vero pezzo di design.

Io lavoro all'aperto nella campagna delle Marche, quindi dei buoni occhiali da sole sono essenziali, e conosco bene il problema di un paio che scivola o è troppo scuro. Sono curioso dell'occhiale con il marchio Hive che tieni di riserva: dove l'hai preso, ed è abbastanza comodo da diventare il tuo paio di tutti i giorni?

Your niece has good taste 😀. Her shades are so cute!!

Wow, those latest ones are fascinating!!!! You know what? I don’t wear glasses, ha ha ha – just sunglasses, but nothing else. If I can gather some from people I know, I’ll pop in here.

I’ve also been a bit absent from the comments section; I’ve got a visitor from Argentina for 15 days who’s keeping me busy all day. Then everything will be back to normal. A cousin my mum hasn’t seen for 40 years… just imagine!!😃

Dont have much, and all are b-w. No color differentiation or other design nuances 🙃

Good evening, @mipiano. Although I also try to look at life through rose-colored glasses... I don't own that many pairs—certainly not as many as the collection you're showcasing. I'll try to bring something along.

Sending you a big hug.

I usually dont use glasses, but in the Caribbean the sun is very strong and it helps a lot!
@bozz(83)· 9d
I prefer my sunglasses to have a bit of a yellow tint to them. It makes the greens and blues pop a bit more!
