Hello, Totti here…
…just want to say – have a great weekend! Wish you long walks, nice smells, lovely company and good food!
Cee’s B&W Photo Challenge: Candid Shots
Candid shots are always fun – this is one of my daughter from this summer. Not a situation I like…I guess that is why I took the photo…
To Cheer Me Up!
Lying in bed for a couple of days, in fever, coughing and shivering – I thought I had to scramble my bones together and do something to cheer me up. Let’s go, randomly,…from 2011 posts! Hopefully you will get a bit cheered up as well!

WPC: Waiting
From Cheri – a wish for us to show ”waiting”. I am just filling in what she already started…because noone can do the waiting business like a dog can!
In the header, sweet Seonaid’s (my Scottish blogger friend at Breathofgreenair) two bearded collies, and down under my own Mille.
Thursday Thoughts – Another View of Kew
I had not been to Kew for some years…about 35-40 I would guess – and when I finally returned some weeks ago, there were some surprises awaiting. The Hive was one of them, and another one was the Treetop Walkway. 18 metres up in the canopy, you could get a closer look at lime, sweet chestnut and oak trees – as well as a bird’s-eye view of Kew Gardens.
Take the lift up with me to the canopy! Not quite like the Amazon in December, but still great.
Thursday Thoughts – In the Hive
My number one goal with the London trip was Kew Gardens. I think the year was 1977 last time, or maybe 1979. As you who read this blog will know, I love gardens and flowers. Maybe especially English gardens, because of their soft and soothing architecture and lines. But this time, I also found the most mindful spot – The Hive.
A well thought through installation, and a high quality space for mindfulness.
The Hive stands 17 metres high, set in a meadow of wild flowers. The installation is connected to a real beehive, from where you, through several canals, are able to follow the sounds and vibrations of the bees.
We all know the importance of bees, and as scientists have proved – without bees we will not survive on this planet.
In this structure, you cannot shut out the light – you cannot stop it from seeping in. Looking straight up from the ground beneath, there are also… feet to be seen…
…and inside the construction, the blue sky is visible from every corner. Slow down and listen to the bees working, humming soothingly. Add some distant music… and this will be your reaction…
Meditative moments…Mindfulness…
Welcome to Little Venice!
When in London, I try to visit a new part every time – and this time I walked along Regent’s Canal to Little Venice. They say Lord Byron coined the name, true or not, anyway it is a charming area with its moored boats and little ”gardens”.
How about joining me for a little walk?

Some boats were more homes to flowers than to people…

A short visit to London with my whole family – I cannot say how much I appreciated this opportunity! That we all could go, and have some relaxing fun together – almost impossible now as we are all living in different ends of Sweden.
WIA at Somerset House was our first spot of interest. All of us love working with some kind of art – but none of us do it professionaly. So.. who does not want to get inspired?
The view from Waterloo Bridge – I don’t think I have seen it since the Shard was built. You can see it between the two high constructions on the right side of the Thames.
Walking to the entrance of Somerset House, I caught a glimpse of ”The Lion King”. I remember it being very well staged and performed when we visited with our children a long time ago. Sweet memories.
All excited of course – but as I am not allowed to show the photos officially, Here is a link instead.
My son and daughter photographing away…at the entrance. There were, among others, a great many interesting takes on the US president and environmental issues.
At exhibitions, leaving a comment is never optional…always give feedback! So much talent and fantasy, brainwork and time gone in to these artworks. Brilliant!
Walking back – enjoying the other side of Waterloo Bridge. Always impressive…
Good Old London.
On the Move…
…but who did the packing?
