#242 Reseminnen – Travel Memories (349/365)

22 november, 201523 november, 2015 / Leya / 15 kommentarer

Från min senaste resa till Kina och flodfärden på Yangtsekiang, kommer jag för alltid att bära med mig minnena från Water Village. En resa in i det gamla Kina, sinnebilden av kinesisk tradition, konst och måleri, ja även poesi. En oförglömlig vandring i en gången tid. Om du är intresserad kan du gå till hela inlägget. Klicka på länken under bilden.

From my latest trip to China and the Yangtze River, there is one memory that will never be erased – the day we visited Water Village. This day was a hike into the heart of Old China. The essence of every art form, be it painting, writing, marriage traditions… Unforgettable, true beauty.

WPC: Happy Place

10 oktober, 201510 oktober, 2015 / Leya / 28 kommentarer

A happy place where I can relax and get away from a busy life…WPC wants to know my secrets…and then they are secret no more. Near and far, some easily reached when needed, some only in my world of memories.

Sitting in my garden listening to bees humming in the flowers.

Walking in ”my” forest every day…

Far away…not easily reachable, but still…in my memory a place of utmost happiness.

SL-WEEK 14: Memory

8 oktober, 20158 oktober, 2015 / Leya / 10 kommentarer

A Memory, for Sylvain Landry. One of the most heartbraking cemeteries I have visited ever – and I have visited many. This is the Jewish cemetery in Warsaw, where thousands and thousands of Jews are resting after the war massacres. Nobody left to care for the graves. Crumbling stones and solemn trees. A tragedy never to be forgotten.

WPC: Grid

WordPress – Grid, make it the most important in your photo. Well, grids are not always manmade – you find nature’s grids everywhere…My choice fell on a Vanda, a remarkable Asian orchid, intensely coloured with a splendid grid. This Vanda I found standing in Denmark, outside a hotel.

# 317 Trotjänare – Faithful Old Servant (260/365)

13 september, 201513 september, 2015 / Leya / 9 kommentarer

Jag har varit en ung flickas trotjänare genom gymnasiet, över två universitet och även jorden runt. När hon arbetade som volontär på Nya Zeeland stod jag troget vid hennes sida och för kommunikationen – vilket var mycket värdefullt för hennes mamma och pappa , och säkert för henne själv också. Vi höll ihop i vått och torrt och tack vare att vi hade varandra klarade hon av att leva därute i bushen. Nu har jag många år på nacken och börjar bli lite… sliten, så där borta i ljuset någonstans…ligger väl evigheten…Men, såsom varande trotjänare hänger man ju i så länge det finns tangenter och batteri!

I have been serving this young woman through high school and two universities – and around the world as well. When she worked as a volunteer in New Zealand I was the one who stood by her side and helped her keeping up communication with her parents. Now I’m getting old and tired – but will try to hang on for some years yet…we still need each other, Emma and me!

Introduktion to a new school involves playing and games to get to know each other and to learn how to trust each other. This photo is from the first day at our school, last year, last autumn 2014.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Habits

27 augusti, 201528 augusti, 2015 / Leya / 5 kommentarer

Habits work through the senses – join in Cee’s challenge this week and find out more about yourself! I have chosen the positive alternatives: Good.

For more of this, click here.

Habits
Sense of Seeing – What delights visually.
Sense of Touching – What textures do you like to touch.
Sense of Hearing – What sounds do you like to hear.
Sense of Tasting – What tastes good (or bad) to you.
Sense of Smelling – What smells good(or bad) to you.

Seeing – Nature. Today’s Autumn colours

Touching – My dogs. Only Totti now.

Hearing – Bird song. Waking up to an early morning thrush.

Tasting – Wild berries like these blackberries, newly picked.

Smelling – Flowers like lavender, roses and honeysuckle

So what do these habits tell about me?

WPC: Beneath Your Feet

11 augusti, 201511 augusti, 2015 / Leya / 20 kommentarer

A very important thought as well – what is beneath your feet. Join in on WordPress and let us know!

Beneath my feet two days ago was a shimmering beach with happy, rushing and playing dogs. I enjoyed the lovely company of blogging friend Seonaid Green of breathofgreenair. (and her family!) Thank you for having us! Forever grateful.

My heart feels as light as the clouds when I’m watching her beautiful dogs floating on sand and water. Maisie, Willow and Mollie!
