Thursday Thoughts – Meet Sally!

On my forest walk yesterday, with a friend (and no Totti), we met a real charmer – Sally!

Sally Lagotto is a typical Lagotto – not a dull second! Lovely style and colour, friendly, happy and a true glove thief…I had to work hard to catch her, but I hope you enjoy this little girl just as much as we did!

Being a little lady she is more slender than my Totti. She was also some years younger. A pity he could not come this day…He would have loved running in the snow with her!

 

WPC: Tour Guide

 

Tour Guide – What do I love about where I live? Well – The beautiful nature and countryside! Including:

My garden and flowers

The animals I meet every day

The old fairy tale villas

Even our ugliest old building looks beautiful in the low sun…

And I love our Castles, Hovdala and Wanås, always hosting spectacular art and exhibitions. Here josting and below Wanås with ants (from a South American artist) crawling over the faςade. They also have great areas for hiking and outdoor activities.

I do love this area, and I guess I would not want to live permanently anywhere else.

 

 

 

Hi, Totti here…

… just want to tell you, that this day was worth waiting for! My Day. My kind of weather.

Cold (-10 C), snow and sun. Hope you enjoyed this day just as much as I did!

Long walks, racing, digging, rolling…

…and eating ”shit” (as my master puts it…)…I find hidden under the snow…

– and then more walking again. Cannot get enough of that…

And of course – playing around, loving my family  ♥♥♥♥♥

 

 

Thursday Thoughts – Travel theme: Adventure

Ailsa, you once invited me to participate in your Travel theme – and I have, almost every week, for several years. Your theme will be greatly missed, but I hope we will keep You!

My interpretation became a long one…almost every picture will have an explanation as to why they represent Adventure. Not that I think the explanation is needed – but still.

Thank you for all these years of hosting! Life is the greatest Adventure.

 

Thursday Thoughts – Memories From Last January

Most photos this month were from the Galapagos Islands and our beautiful ship – Cachalote – Here are some of my favorites. In the header, me and my lovely mockingbird!

Volcanic Islands all of them – and here at Sullivan Bay – strikingly beautiful.

My absolute favorites on this trip were the iguanas – especially the land iguanas. We were so lucky to find an iguana up in the cacti – they love eating them, but rarely have any success in climbing them.

I would not mind going back one day – to see the other islands as well. Each island has its own specific flora and fauna. Mostly untouched by humans – and therefore, animal kingdoms.

 

CFFC: Letter W

Letter W – Needs to start with W and have two vowels in the word (window, wheel, wagon, working, weather, woodshed, woman)

 

In the header – Wisteria – a favorite flower in every respect!

 

Woman. One of my favorites -a collegue of mine, waiting for Heathcliff on the moors!

Window. From a silent, late evening walk in the old part of Riga.

Thursday’s Special: Message

Two messages? Paula, at Lost in Translation, is only asking for one…but I hope this is OK!

One dog to dog message and one human to human – at least…

Skies of Ireland

Looking back on the trip to Ireland last year, brought back a rush of green love through my veins.

How I love this countryside!

And the seaside!

Dark skies over the meadows – but no rain…

…only golden gorse glowing in the dark.
