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.
Sometimes memories pop up, of the good times we had when both dogs were still with us. Mille and Totti – forever in my heart. The winters were never that grey, and the days were always more bright and sunny. If you miss a beloved best friend…you will know the feeling. Life would be very empty without them!
Unforgettable…
I thought I would share some memories posted in January 2017 – My dream trip to Quito, the Amazon Basin and Galapagos. Let us start in Quito – a city of festivities that week!
An unforgettable journey with lovely people – and a country I would more than love to return to.
Traces of the past – in Segovia, Spain. The most impressive aqueduct, for Paula at Lost in Translation.
This weathered Castle we found in a forlorn place in the Spanish countryside. We saw the pinnacles sticking up from the treetops and headed for it. A fairy tale castle!
Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Toys for Children or Adults
Street market in Sofia, Bulgaria. My favourite toy.
Go to Paula, Lost in Translation, and pick a word or two from her five suggestions! I picked festive (midsummer dance many years ago), angular (a famous monastery, Varnhem) and auricomous (monkeys at Auckland Zoo).
The words are candescent, algid, angular, auricomous and festive
Varnhem
Auricomous – blonde
”Have you ever tried to sum up your blogging year
in a photo?” says my dear friend Gallivanta, at silkannthreades.
If I could find one picture, one picture only, that would be a symbol of my 2017?
I know what, and who, has been on my mind every day this year. We walk together every day and we talk every day. But many things she no longer remembers. When I talk about the old days, her childhood and when her grandchildren were small – she smiles. Glimpses. For a short moment there is that old shine in her eyes. My Mother.
She is in my thoughts every hour of the day.
To sum up my blogging year is more difficult. Travel, colorful places, family, good friends, nature, animals…and photography. The inner journey. Despite all my travels and meetings with lovely people and lovely places – a day alone with my thoughts has always been my best day.
When I think back, there are so many wonderful people who left us this year, both famous legends and close friends. The frailty of life. In so many countries and places on Earth, things have changed for the worse. Our planet, our world, is suffering.
True, there has been much light, but maybe more of darkness in the world this year, 2017. Still, I always search for the Magic…in everything. I try to see the beauty in every grain of sand, and I hope I can convey at least some of it to you as well. I need this magic – to look away from the darkness, to survive. I guess there might be more people than me who feel the same.
So. The header photo is my choice, dear Amanda.
