Different perspectives are truly energizing…these are from one of my windows for the WordPress Challenge.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: The Color White
Cee’s challenge is to find the colour White. Click for more entries!
I have chosen three different whites – A ceiling in the beautiful home of a friend of mine, a delicate flower from the Pyreneés and a lovely horse from Jämtland ( photo taken this weekend).

Orange is beautiful and oranges are tasty. My choices for this challenge are some of my favourite oranges…
New life and new lives
Omplantering som alltid vecka 8. I år blev jag tvungen att ta ner den ena av de stora monsterorna – den hade blivit alltför hög och ohanterlig. En gång tidigare har jag tagit ner båda två. Båda togs som sticklingar för ca 38 år sedan. Då stod de på min gamla arbetsplats i en stor samplantering.Nu finns inte min gamla arbetsplats längre. Eftersom jag träffade några av mina gamla arbetskamrater i helgen tog jag med stambitar med vidhängande blad till dem alla – ett levande minne av svunna tider.
I övrigt några av de orkideer som blommar just nu – och förstås min ryska begonia…
As usual my pot plants get some new soil and some grooming this week in February. But, this year I had to take down one of the big Monstera Deliciosas – it had grown to the ceiling. This weekend I happened to have dinner with some of my old friends who worked together a long time ago in the same building (it does not exist any more) where I got those Monsteras as cuttings, some 38 years ago…So, now I decided to divide my Monstera into big enough pieces to plant, and then hand them out to my friends. A living memory from days gone by.
Of course I have to show some of the orchids starting now – mostly phalaenopsis. In some weeks there will hopefully be more of them – two cattleyas are budding and more phalaenopsis.

This one was brought from Madeira many years ago

Travel theme: Romance
I searched my house for Romance – I didn’t have to travel far away…
And here it is…
…the road to my Heart
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Travel theme: Yellow
Ailsa’s travel theme this week is all about Yellow!
My rays of light!
As I suffer severely from the darkness, the loss of daylight and the constant grey drizzle this winter, I decided to make a post of the short rays of light on the latest days’ walks. Maybe there are more of us who need some light – I hope you will enjoy them!
Suddenly there was a short glimpse of sunlight on these beautiful straws, resting by my path in the soft wind.
This broken twig, and its bright lichen, caught my eye inside the forest. Hit by a tiny ray, it lay glowing on the dark ground.
A dark green candle provides the soft light of my evenings.
This years’ fiery Christmas flower in my home is a colourful Hippeastrum called ”La Paz”.
May the light be with you all!

Thank you All, and for Us being here Together!
In Sara‘s blog I found this discription of blogging, taken from her blogger friend Dorann(http://countryliving4beginners.wordpress.com): “I have learned over time that there is a lot more to blogging than blogging. By itself, the exercise is rewarding – that is, if you are a true loner. Otherwise, when you begin to reach out to the blog-us-fear, you are bound to become part of a team of players. And suddenly you find yourself not only blogging, but reading, liking, and commenting, and finally, becoming part of a team who are all enjoying constructive interaction to help you to achieve your goals. That is what makes blogging so rewarding!”
I also want to say Thank You, from my heart, to all those who follow or read my blog, for your constant support, likes and comments are the reason I’m still here blogging! Every week I learn new things about the world from you, everything from recipes to new words to social life to politics. I am honoured to receive awards – but my real reward is your attention and appreciation. Sometimes my own time to be supportive is far too short – but thank you for being patient with me – know that I’m always coming back to enjoy your stories and photos !
I will not follow any rules with the awards, instead I will link to a few of the more than 200 blogs I follow and the 200 more I also read and enjoy. An impossible task – so remember you are all in my heart!
Thank you, always considerate, wise and kind Ajaytao, for A Christmas Bouquet Awards ( some of which I hadn’t heard before, but they sound beautiful)

Puerto Mogan
So I returned to this Island In the Sun after 15 years. Once visited when the children were small – now back for almost only one reason – Puerto Mogan. I hope you understand why.
