First of all – a big thank you to Anne Leueen for helping Biasini host the excellent challenge last week! We have learned so much about communication – and in many ways we never had thought of before. Let us continue communicating in every positive way – it is essential for a good life!
This week, I thought we should go inside for communication – A Hideaway, is a place to which a person can retreat for safety, privacy, relaxation, to seek seclusion or refuge. Where or What is Your hideaway? We are looking forward to seeing your interpretations…and revelations!
The forest has always been my hideaway, and so have my garden. Two years ago I decided I had reached the end of my working days as a teacher, and I could finally think of yet another hideaway – in my garden – a glass house. I dreamed for many years – and planned for a whole year.
Finally – the day arrived when they started digging – but sadly I had to let go of the old birch tree stump that had supported my Agapanthus for several summers.
”Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.” – Rachel Carson.

Looking ahead to October 24, Tina will invite us for Challenge #120, so be sure to visit her site on Saturday!
In closing, many thanks to all you creative people for your continued participation and support. I hope you have a great week – keep inspiring us and stay safe.

Hello again Ann-Christine, Eivor and Pearl are delighted to show you one of their hideaways too: https://whippetwisdom.com/2020/10/21/wordless-wednesday-highland-hideaway/
Well of course!
What a beautiful place to hide away, Ann-Christine. And an interesting look at how it all came together.
Sue, I thought it would be great to see how the garden was from the start and how it finally got a new member.

I love your glass house. It looks like the perfect place to relax and refresh
Thank you – I love it already and hope it will be much used.
Leya, you’re so lucky having such a lovely glass house to steal away to. I managed to find some photographs from a hideaway of mine. Thanks for setting the challenge.
https://jazzibeeblog.wordpress.com/2020/10/19/the-gallery-hideaway/
Well, you managed to get some fun images from your old hideaway! Maybe next year I will have some nice ones from mine…thank you for joining in!

Wow! That is an incredible hideaway.
Thank you – so happy to be able to have it here!
Love the glass House and the one with the candle lights.
Thank you
Glad you like it – I think there will be much joy to come out of that little house!

This is gorgeous AC! Your own oasis in the backyard. Looking forward to seeing more of what happens in there!!
Thanks Pam! Yes, I am looking forward to it as well. Today we have isolated a part of the house for winter care of some big pot plants. A big olive too.

What a great hideaway you created! It turned out great. I hope you will be able to spend more time there in the coming year.

I love your glass house. What a great little hideaway. My place to escape to is always in nature by myself and with my camera.

Thank you, Ingrid – I cannot but agree. Nature is the number one hideaway – and walking alone or with my dogs. And camera.
a beautiful hideaway Ann-Christine. the candles, blankets and plants are so charming. a place of comfort and warmth. 🙂 🙂 here is mine: https://lolawi.blog/2020/10/18/my-hideaway/

I love that beautiful light you have in your part of the world at this time. That’s one of my enduring memories from a late summer and early autumn that I spent between Sweden and Finland. Those last two photos are so wonderful and cozy, reminds me of evenings spent with friends those decades ago.
I am so happy my images reminded you of good days years ago! And the little house is very cozy – yes – listening to the rain is great as well!
I can imagine that.
Hi, Ann-Christine. I’m back with a link to my post–https://pilotfishblog.com/2020/10/18/lens-artists-photo-challenge-119-my-new-england-hideaway/

What a wonderful hideaway you have!

Oh, lucky you, Ann-Christine. A glass house of your own to escape the world’s woes and enjoy your peace.
Steve – yes, peace is just what we need!
Great shots!
I like how they capture the process through time, as well as the result. There’s an appreciable sense of action against scene, I think.
Here’s mine for this one:

Thank you!
Oh hooray, it’s done. You will find a lot of peace in that lovely greenhouse, Ann-Christine.
Hopefully so! And – your flowers are still here!
So long!
Yes, but not all of them of course – they wither beautifully.

A wonderful hideaway Ann-Christine, I know why the dogs want to have it for their own 🙂

What a lovely green house Ann-Christine. It’s beautiful in its simplicity. I can’t wait to see it full of plants. It seems already full of joy.
Anne – it is just enough for me! I want simple things, and things to be simple. Longing for spring!

Wow, that is one amazing greenhouse, Ann-Christine. So happy that you and your doggies have a new hideaway. Here is mine. https://mywanderings.travel.blog/2020/10/18/my-hideaway-the-dandenongs/
It is a cosy one! Thank you!
Ann-Christine, a glasshouse was my dream hideaway also, but it didn’t materialize because our backyard is not enough. Yours is lovely. Thank you for sharing your beautiful hideaway!
Miriam – I’d love to invite you! We faced many a trouble before this could be realized. We planned to build it on our second piece of garden, but the authorities saidthere had to be a regular house first! Then we had to figure out how to place it on the same spot and garden as our house, so the greenhouse could not be as big as we wanted from the start. But now it is here!

A beautiful, cozy, and quiet, hideawy. Well designed and built. Thank you for the special tour of your project. A-C. Lovely!
Thank you, Amy, As usual I believe the process is as important as the product finished!
Oh I can see why you love it, A-C! It’s beautiful and inviting. Thanks for letting us in.

Mmm, I would have liked having you all there – there must be an end to covid someday.
I’d love to visit someday. Yes, there will be an end or a vaccine or something some day, even though right now it feels that it’s been forever when it hasn’t even been a year.
Oh, I agree – no end in sight and instead it is getting worse right now. I hold on to nature even though it is getting colder and darker now. Outdoors in the light everything feels better!
What a beautiful place to hide away in Ann-Christine. It looks so cozy and warm. I can envision you enjoying the peace and quiet as well as nature’s beauty and your adorable little 4-legged companions. Perhaps one day we’ll sit there beside you 🤞
Mmm, I sit there all day…nearly. But now it is getting much more cold and every night it’s freezing. Candles help, and blankets. But in spring!
Well it’s good to know it’s there when you need it Ann-Christine – and will be waiting for you when spring arrives!

Thank you, VJ, I feel very lucky to have persuaded my husband…finally!
Gorgeous, Leya! Your greenhouse is the perfect hideaway and you will no doubt enjoy taking photos inside. I will be linking this post to my Sunday Stills post this Sunday morning (my theme is ”happy place). Thank you for sharing this, we hope to build a greenhouse at our name place in a few months.
Thank you so much, Terry! I guess you will not regret a greenhouse! Popping over to yours right now!

Love the glow of candlelight there, and you with a book maybe, reflections and your glass of wine. I shall join you in one soon. Is it chilly, Ann Christine? Cooler evenings and early mornings have arrived here, but still golden days. 🙂 🙂
Cheers, Jo! And it is chilly, yes – about 8-9 degrees daytime. But if the sun is shining, it is 25 in the glass house!
🤣🤣
This is a very special place and I love how cosy it looks with the candles. I should try that in my conservatory. Can’t wait to see what you grow next year.
Jude, it would be great in your conservatory – and I can hardly wait for spring now!
Love your new hideaway! Fab!
♥ We’ll have a glass of something tasty, you and I!
Yay!
♥
What a gorgeous hideaway, Ann-Christine. I love how your dogs have already staked out their spots in and outside of it. Your photos are beautiful, as always, and your theme is inspiring.
Thank you, Patti – I hope the little hideaway will come in full use this spring!
Do you have a stove in there to heat the room?
No, I haven’t! Only candles. And a machine that turns on and off to control the degrees won’t drop too low so all my plants will die.
Makes sense. I’m sure you have plenty of plants to fill it!
Oh, I do…and I will get more next year.
I’m sure you have a list of new ones you’d like to get.
You are surely right!
Pooooh, Ann-Christine, this was a very hard one. but, I’m done: https://solaner.wordpress.com/2020/10/17/lens-artists-photo-challange-118-my-hideaway/
Hard, but I am grateful you managed to do this beautiful post!
Thanks, Ann-Christine. But, when it is too easy, it‘s not a challenge, isn‘t it.
And you are right, of course. ;-D
